I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together. zenodot.app

But is it the ultimate chair for bisexuals and queer folks? 🤔

What happened in Kansas is *exactly* why you need to get rid of Newsom at the primary. He will not protect trans people. He will not protect homeless people. He will not protect anyone.He considers outside of the cultural norm. ... that's Republican shit.

It would unfortunately end up being sponsored by ChatGPT, or Grok, or some other AI. This is why we can’t have nice things.

AI is here to rob you: of wages, of intellectual property, of trustworthy info sources. Another tool to oppress us & make us compliant; so worried about survival & what is true that we become too overwhelmed to fight back. Which is why we all need to join together & fight, supporting one another

Meta adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses would violate the privacy rights of millions of people and cost the company billions of dollars legal battles. It should abandon its plans. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

imagine being such a repellent, universally loathed scumbag the courts can't find 12 people in the entire city that don't hate your guts lol

Hello, Clarice

“When libraries are blocked from archiving the web, the public loses access to history. Journalists lose tools for accountability. Researchers lose evidence. The web becomes more fragile and more fragmented, and history becomes easier to rewrite.”

I don’t want to live in a world that is just Big Light™️. I need candlelight. Camping lanterns. And moonlight. I need whimsy. To read under a tree, to chase a wolf. Oh no, that’s a werewolf! It bit me! Awooooo! 🌕

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

the left must embrace funk thought and im not joking

What if the biggest conspiracy is our government’s refusal to believe more than a 1000 women (and children) for many decades?

Time to reframe my nihilism back to absurdism

too much money makes you insane, AI also makes you insane, so it's no surprise that our current crop of techbro elite have the most cooked brains in human history

these people are being tortured indefinitely awaiting contralegal processing on *suspicion* of a civil infraction roughly equivalent to *expired car registration*.

I never noticed this either.

When Neil Postman wrote the prescient & still very relevant book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” in 1985, he played “1984” & “Brave New World” off each other as 2 distinct, separate, dystopian realities. Expect one; receive the other. Even his uncanny prescience couldn’t’ve predicted today’s reality

Going forward, barring super specific circumstances, I'm retiring the term "white supremacy" to describe Trump & his sycophants—because there's nothing "supreme" about them. Instead, I'll use the term "white narcissism," because they arrogantly and falsely think their skin color makes them better.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

In 1977 NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft, including a CD with the song Johnny B. Goode, on a mission to study the solar system & beyond. The extraterrestrials who open it will get another CD every month from Columbia House at full price and be hounded for life by intergalactic debt collectors.

If we had local governments that ACTUALLY cared about The People, police would be posted in front of ICE concentration camps. Our real police would be arresting and JAILING every ICE thug who brings in a prisoner without a genuine legal warrant signed by a judge.

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

From license-plate readers to drones and cell-site simulators, ICE relies on a growing web of surveillance. Here’s how hackers are shining a light on it—and why that matters. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Are there limitations to recording ICE? What's the deal with ICE and facial recognition tech? How do you protect your privacy while protesting? If you or loved ones are exercising your rights to demand justice, join our ICE and CBP town hall livestream on Thursday at 10 am PT. eff.org/livestream-ice

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

I was at the peaceful Union-led protest earlier today in Portland. ICE shot munitions into an apartment window above our heads and glass rained down all around. They also gassed tons of families protesting with their kids, completely unprovoked and without warning.

A level of dignity probably never seen in an American jail

Plumbing Bears Wrenching right & left & over there Oh shit! Now water, water’s everywhere! We are the Plumbing Bears!

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
