Preference for your own children is the seed of eugenics, and pointing out that preference for your own children is inherent to the species/evolution/science IS eugenics.

Anyone wanna do a co-watch of My Tender Matador sometime in December? tubitv.com/movies/10004...

This may be the best distillation of my personal ethos that I've ever seen.

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.

Fantastic news

Anyone have some spanish language poetry they love and would be interested in sharing with me?

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras. They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.

Very pleasant collection of sights and sounds to take to bed tonight. Lovely ambient yoyo vibes from the Doc

Happy Halloween

A project that my company @performant.bsky.social has been working on for multiple years launches tomorrow! Launch events will be live-streamed on Saturday and Sunday at 1 pm MT. It's been such a privilege to work with the Native Bound Unbound team. They describe the project as follows... (1/4) #DH

"I was married but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Some of y'all get caught on the discover feed without realizing it and get all twisted about it, and I get that, but periodically I just accidentally click through to @tcarmody.bsky.social's feed and slowly die of embarrassment while I scroll and click the little hearts way too many times.

@alexisthenedd.bsky.social Literally just found you to say to someone who understands: I'm still sad about Selfie not getting the audience (and seasons) it deserved. Thanks for writing beautifully about it 5 years ago :)

This looks so fun and Sarah is a dope hang!

Any math/coding geeks want to help me figure out a keyspace thing real (probably not actually) quick? Medeco Biaxial locks have interesting internal limitations that are well documented but hard to calculate the effect of. Lmk if you have a minute to noodle & I'll send the very detailed details

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago. We are everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Goodbye forever, Starbucks. #209XXXX out!

The best one since San Francisco Housing Crisis

I think about trans liberation every day. Many times a day every day. I routinely search the names of artists and authors I have loved with the words "trans liberation" tacked on. I am angry all the time.

I have no skills No training No connections But i cuss Nazis

Weirdly I'm kinda happy I was here the day the CEO of this supposed public benefit corporation turned on the public for the benefit of their shareholders. It's a pretty banal heel turn, as heel turns go, but still.

"And in your ignorance you have arrived at the truth, as usual!" - a thing I just screamed down the hallway, not unkindly, but a bit exasperated

@flophousepodcast.com mini fodder

If we lose trans people, we lose everything. We lose the bravest, most honest and sincere people in our communities. We lose it all, we lose the root of all beauty.

Impossible to overstate what the EFF means to the community. ♡

Well?

@anthonyhurd.bsky.social are you aware of the work of Fabián Chairez? Was perusing his works and felt there was some kinship with your own: fabianchairez.com/luchadores/2...

I'm not joking or riffing as I wonder aloud: do you think it's all going to come together with a Kirk "AI" taking over an anchor desk at CBS?

I have watched this cat playing, by itself, with this cat toy, a few dozen times. Completely mesmerized.

@consumerreports.org and @yaelwrites.com offer Security Planner, a free tool to help keep your data secure with a personalized plan

did you know you can opt out of clearview ai if you live in illinois? leaving this here for no reason at all: www.clearview.ai/privacy-and-...

Chicago has never been my home, but folks like Dan made it feel like home to me. I've loved my time in the city and met some of my favorite people in the world there.

Everybody (bosses, workers, clients, partners, users) wants other people to respect their time. And almost nobody does.

My blanket policy is afgans are underrated and I love a heavy quilt. More of an opinion than a policy I guess. Moreover, Sam Altman must be destroyed.

We just released a *big* working paper on Voice AI and Authenticity as part of the ARC CoE for Automated Decision-Making and Society @admscentre.org.au It surveys the history of the tech, emerging issues, and what can be done Check it out at Australian Policy Online here: apo.org.au/node/331920

Got to take my new kicks out to the city with my girls tonight. Thx @moxiest.art I love them

Eden rules and this is such a great concept.

I think that Camus gets a bad rap as a bummer (his writing that gets assigned in school sure can be), but I have often found his wiring to be a source of joy and inspiration.

Huh. I did not at all expect that...

Politicians who don’t understand how computers work make mistakes like thinking “logging into a website” is the same as “walking through a door”. I am running for MA-06 so at least one person in Congress will have implemented an OAuth provider bethfordemocracy.com

You probably need some more ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS in your life. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Aw2oQ0ageO8&si=t8p4TGjC-uSYKT4r CC @Ranjit

In follow up comments, Dan makes it clear that out of town and even international signatories would only benefit the cause here, so jump in if you are up for it!

Post a non-religious image you think of as holy...

I’m going to make this a video at some point but I’m saying this here and being done because it’s honestly just angering and scaring and frustrating me.

In case you missed my @hope.net talk (and I don't blame you, @johnkiriakou.bsky.social is amazing!) you can catch the video here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sxJ...

Philip Larkin said "What will survive of us is love," but research based on previous collapsing civilizations suggests it's more likely to be inorganic items that can be buried, burned, or struck without significant degradation. Likely what will survive of us is ceramic toilets.

what gif pops up when u type your name Haven't tried this in a long time, but I feel like full name really brought me something special here:
