every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I'm not supposed to work today I'm supposed to Stare Wistfully Into The Distance While Contemplating How My Life Went This Way

when does anyone even have _time_ to learn and practice femininity, if I cannot recreate the meme where a top applies makeup to me I would prefer to audit a class or something

None if this trash is ever inevitable and you can help crush this surveillance creep tech by calling it surveillance creep tech.

how much snow is on your car during the morning commute in Chicago is honestly a pretty robust class signifier

making yourself look insincere, not on your constituents side, AND a total wimp who will fold to the right wing at the slightest push: that's the democrat way

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

excuse me, I was told that making kofefe-tier cringe tweets meant that Gavin is the only person who could possibly be president under any circumstances, even if his policies directly enable the architects of our current path to destruction

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

*sips morning glass of estrogen* no it's actually pretty woke that I can't cook

At one point in Chicago I found bags with ICE whistles and bilingual know your rights pamphlets taped to wrought iron fences in the fucking Gold Coast

outing myself as a packers fan to show off this gaffe tape abomination I made to avoid giving the NFL or Fanatics money

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

the Four Loko to Espresso Martini pipeline

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM

tip for parent management: my parents were asking me about chatGPT, and have some friends who love it, and none of my attempts to caution them were as successful as just sending them the Wikipedia page for AI hallucinations

here's this vintage jeopardy clip with ken jennings

It's well past time for *everyone* to treat the New York Times as a hostile propaganda network. Over and over we see eugenicist rhetoric - or, yesterday, fascist narrative laundering - pushed in the paper. Stop making excuses for your favorite op-ed writers. To work at the NYT makes you complicit.

Facebook is a total dead zone. viral AI images of the ICE agent‘s face. Fake AI images of gigantic protest crowds. This moment is about what is real and what we all saw while being shoveled lies and it’s being processed through a fake engagement slot machine.

On the flip side, you see the people organizing neighborhood patrols, making whistle kids, showing up to walk kids home from school, and buy groceries for their neighbors. Even on this very dark day, I know there are more of us than them.

For people who have not yet had ICE descend on their city, I think it’s hard to convey how all-encompassing their presence is. You constantly hear about the neighbors they’ve taken, get texts about where not to go that day, see signs from where people were taken, hear whistles from down your block.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

There’s no middle ground when someone just wants you dead

no matter who is in charge at a national level, your community is the place where you have the most power. nazi-occupied denmark saved over 90% of its jewish population from the holocaust through community efforts.

the most concerning thing about them justifying murdering an obviously completely innocent murder by ICE is if they can justify and defend this, there’s nothing that’s too far for them. anything you can imagine them doing is very likely something they’ll stand behind

"I'm calling to demand the immediate dismantling of ICE for the murder of a woman in Minneapolis today and the impeachment of the President for his support of that murder" is the easiest call to my senators and representative I've ever made

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

an important note to fuel your outrage (not to well-actually it)- this is a public example of systemic terror that we need to address on all fronts. abolish ICE *and*.

observation’s led me to believe the true dividing line between millennials and zoomers is homestar runner

I'm just absolutely baffled that more residential light fixtures don't focus on the one true great form of overhead lighting, which is uplighting the ceiling, and just use lamps and stuff for tasks, for the most part. we don't have to live this way folks

really confused by this universe where somehow Apple funds the only good television

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear

I think a big issue with content slop evolving in general is that I am already in a place where I’m not going to get caught up with every game in my Steam library and every movie and tv show I have on various watch later lists. Like who the fuck is going to pay real life money for an AI movie

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

deeply, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart i say fuck the new york times. stop giving them your money. cancel your subscription. drop their crosswords. move on from wordle. trans people have been saying for years this was an organized campaign of bigotry and disinformation. well here it all is

I really gotta stop trying to talk to centrist liberals on here and focus on what I do worst: vague posting about the boring minutiae of my life. I fixed a sink this morning! It's not really that hard.

came home to a sink that's just sort of spilling water slowly in any random direction when it's on and I think the 20 year old faucet might be cooked. could probably change and grease some o rings or something but it's really not worth fixing vs a new $60ish faucet

I have returned to the Chicago from whence I came. immediately getting back to my life of whimsy and nonsense every day, having not learned a thing at all from serious rest for a week

people often have a misconception that generative AI knows what facts are, or checks its work, and since it's been explained a million times how this isn't the case, that means AI also will tell you that it's not the case. ask your AI-poisoned friends to ask their AI how AI checks their facts

I wish I had the words to describe just how valuable @kissane.myatproto.social‘s latest essay feels to me: www.wrecka.ge/landslide-a-...

and Tiny Tim, who was NOT mad, don't put it in the papers that he was mad,
