The vibe at Bluesky is strangely mainstream liberal. I guess that makes sense. It's the Elon Diaspora. But the whole dynamic of the alt-site would seem to lend itself more to radical politics.

if i were a restaurant owner i would be so pissed that doordash attaches autogenerated ai descriptions to all of the menu items now. like imagine a customer getting upset that the dish you sent them doesn't match some ai hallucination.

The courts are clear: Google is a monopolist. But will that monopoly be effectively curtailed? The ruling has been celebrated as a new dawn for the internet, but there are plenty of reasons to believe Google’s power may not be reined in as much as we hope. The fight is far from over.

The thing I wish more people understood is that growSF etc are Republicans

Every time I listen to David Sylvian, I think of @wagnerian.bsky.social. He has this strange quality where I hated his voice the first time I heard it, and then became obsessed. And the obsession is something that everyone I've known who loves him shares. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1Yk...

Today, the Board unanimously passed our ordinance that will infuse an estimated $45 million into affordable housing www.deanprestonsf.com/press-releas...

"These do not look like serious people. They look like a mix of ridiculous ideologues and untrustworthy grifters" This increasingly seems like a fight between between Y Combinator "make as much money as possible and run" people and Eliezer Yudkowsky-loving cranks, and uh maybe everybody sucks here?

“She’s talked openly about how people sent her death threats because she’s been outspoken about her support of Palestine. Now people are harassing her with AI-generated videos that literally put words in her mouth.”

The ongoing attacks on Gaza have created a humanitarian disaster, getting worse every day. I am sickened by the daily killing, displacement, and dehumanization of the Palestinian people. The US needs to insist on an immediate cease fire and massive humanitarian aid.

I love San Francisco. ♥️🇵🇸

I'm afraid to go to sleep to then wake up & see what was done to Gaza

Easy to see why nobody wants to live in or visit #SanFrancisco

This is what is being called a Humanitarian Pause, and being offered by US politicians, including Bernie Sanders, as a compromise solution to people demanding a ceasefire.

All that to be taken down by noxious transphobe and hate-stalker Cathy Brennan in the middle of that app's last gasp at relevancy and the model for 5th Generation warfare that is the US/Israeli liquidation of GAZA. I am so pissed off right now.

Tenderloining. Have to say. The Tenderloin is not where you want to be on a hot day. A lot of things baking in the sun and diffusing.
