"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

Happy last night! #hannukah

Oh my dogs Mark Witton on the "democratization of art thru AI" is 🔥

I think this is the biggest story of our era. And it is shameful that we are so easily being drawn off focus from the most perilous risk of all: Having no planet to live on.

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

the moment any media replaces any human labor with AI it is dead to me. And anyone with any iota of appreciation for the hard work that goes into their games, books, music, illustrations, animations, etc etc etc should feel similarly

"6-7"?! Boy I say boy you gen alpha kids cant be doin' that! Your signifiers need signs boy! You've laid a rhetorical claim to an empty space son! You're creatin' a nihilistic dialectic! Your broccoli hairs obfuscatin' some much needed communication! Find some MEANIN', kid!

utilizes AI is saying you don't care about the hard work someone puts into something - and that no one should care about the hard work YOU put into a thing.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

Somehow wound up on Xitter and stumbled upon this thread. Five years later: a reskill into entry-level software engineering allowed us to juuust barely be able to get a mortgage. My very first one! Most other debts are paid off, but saving a nest egg is slow going. Everything else holds true.

If it's sustained and ongoing, it's not new, and hence, not newsworthy. Duh. "Sun rises in East, again" "Ocean still wet" "Trump does insane shit that would have gotten any prior President impeached and/or institutionalized, again."

Cashiers know 😏

the era of small government is over and we can either have armed thugs with badges disappearing people or universal health care and high speed rail

(🌿) I want a tamagotchi. It'll be the first one I ever had. Back in the 90s, when I was the first target audience for a virtual pet, I was too much of a tomboy to ask for a tamagotchi instead of a digimon.

(🌿) Have you ever intentionally tried to burn yourself out on something, because it is *too* delicious? I have a freezerful of cheap, store-brand ice cream sandwiches, as a leftover from a big event a couple weeks ago.

The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.

“AI is coming to take our jobs” no it isn’t. It’s a CEO named Gary taking some shitty advice from a VC who has never had a real job in their life, trying to maximise their quarterly earnings by firing as many people as they can get away with to make number go up, and it isn’t sustainable

My aunt passed along this piece, and a lot of it speaks to me. www.hadassahmagazine.org/2025/01/06/i...

I got a treasure from @corviforms.bsky.social #anyhrocon

This is insane. I just thought my tastebuds matured but no they did science to make it stop sucking shit.

Wait you’re telling me that Brussels Sprouts LITERALLY tasted awful when I was a kid and I didn’t just magically start liking them as an adult?????

@kekeflipnote.bsky.social any chance you're at Anthrocon this year?

@lapatte.bsky.social I didn't see you at the Pokefurs meetup! Are you not at Anthrocon this year?

Thank you @jangalian.bsky.social for understanding what I meant and having the language to put a name to it. #starTrek #galaxyQuest #AI

www.ohjoysextoy.com/agender-bein... Neat. And relatable.

I want this Pikmin 5 to exist. #pikmin #fanart #pikminsona (it would be such a good vore game)

The Morning After 💫

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Happened to spot @joabaldwin.com in the credits of Moana2, and had to have @jangalian.bsky.social explain to me what "Layout" means in the context of animated films. Like a scrum master for the visuals? It's hard to conceptualize when I'm not the one who went to school for animation. 🤷

important message this pride month 🤗

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

"But it still means a lot to me because my childhood..." No! *squirts your face with a spray bottle* "Ok, then I'll pirate..." NOI! *sprays your face with a garden hose* "Are you saying I'm a bad person if I..." *glares menacingly at you, holding a firehose*

Relationship goals #fishcrow #art I will turn these into stickers hehe

Morale so low in the office we start joking about one of the in-office perks being suicide nets like in Japan #jpmc

Well, whattaya know... It seems giving people a safety net allows them actually function in society. Who'd have fucking thought?!

Start referring to Elon as she/her and I bet she'll have preferred pronouns then.

Does the SAVE Act also provide proof of citizenship at no cost? No. Congratulations, you just disenfranchised voters. For a problem (voter fraud) that doesn’t exist.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

The camps will come for you too www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

Autistic Lexicon Spikey Skillset Basically being really really good at what you are good at and really really bad at what you are bad at. This can result in solutions that seem completely logical to the Autistic person but might astound or bewilder an outside observer.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIDAtyB...

Not the most flattering angle, but I found something to do with the random craft supplies at my aunt's condo while surrounded by small children. #wireart #pipecleaners #polarbear
