New video!!! In this video I use two books to explore how Musk exemplifies some of the key features of neoliberalism and its increasing slide into contemporary fascism...I also get visibly upset by how world-historically unfunny Elon Musk is

I really hate posting these kinds of begposts, but this has gotten more critical since I posted it. I currently have -7$ until next month, and I need to feed three people with that. #mutualaidrequest

My shoes fell apart today, I need new ones bc I have work tomorrow and I currently cannot afford that. $50 would help so I can get cheap shoes at the store before work. #MutualAid #Helpsky

I'm so fucking tired of this face. For the love of GOD Disney. All your female characters look the fucking same.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?

why does my back hurt 🦌

Violently protective employer

This article is really embarrassing. It's entirely focused on technology-as-nostalgia and not the fact that every modern device wants you to constantly pay a rental fee in some form or another. If I'm listening to MP3s on a Diamond Rio there is exactly zero chance it will ask for a credit card.

Kinda tired of this now 🫩

We should have never doubted this man

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

This is the question I constantly ask of pro-AI people, like I know someone who constantly talks about how integrated it is into his work now, and I ask them, "what are you going to do when the tools are no longer available because Anthropic goes bankrupt?"

If AI was the answer its proponents claim, we would be running to it. They wouldn't have to work so hard to foist it on us. It's always "You must use AI, everyone else is." Not "You have this problem, here is how AI can solve it". That's how you know it is worthless.

A family of doctors in Idaho with a teenage trans daughter describes their decision to close their practice and leave the state after the governor signed a law last month threatening her with a felony charge and five years in prison if she uses any women's restroom

Exactly one year ago today:

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

For a corp that so desperately rejects the concept of Skeeting, Bluesky is certainly very good at Skeeting itself

Oh the vibe coding is hitting BAD huh

This is such a monumental success. I have tears in my eyes.

It really is the day of vibecoded slop shitting itself huh? Coordinated slopflop of both Bluesky and Dutch Microslop services. The latter shat itself so hard I could not join a teams meeting, could not shoot them a message to let them know, and could not even mail them. Incredible

THE GOOD WAY TO TRAVEL (1966)

If I stop liking and reskeeting things in the next couple days I guess the shimmer started somewhere in the Netherlands It was nice knowing y'all, I'm gonna go shed the shackles of capitalism and become one with an incomprehensible alien environment

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty. "People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.” futurism.com/artificial-i...

Despicable fucking government.

lovely moomin panels

People are misunderstanding this. It's not "games a mom has a chance to play while she has a free moment between raising 2.5 children and an adult human man" It's "games that show, examine, interrogate, and ask you to engage with motherhood" Dads get God of War and Last of Us. Moms get Wordle.

This is, btw, why Meta has been secretly sponsoring/white papering all these internet age verification laws. If advertisers realize half the people viewing the ads they spend top dollar on are fake, it could lead to some nasty law suits or a major reduction in profit for Meta.

My goat.

All clothing is unisex if you stop being a little bitch about it

The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

This is so sad… so basically she’s not used to Earths gravity after space travel and so it cripples her, bringing her to her knees in front of a common beast

Why might trans people have poor mental health? Struggling with the trauma of the wrong puberty? The rise of fascism that openly uses Trans people as a hate target? The pandemic and following horrors? No it must be gender affirming care to blame.

"For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead, and management figured out their next steps."
