"there is something you can do. she loved Pokémon. she named herself after a character. i’m going to be leaving a Pokémon stuffed animal at her memorial. if you could just encourage others to do the same. or to donate Pokémon stuffed animals to shelters and such"

Mayor Mamdani’s decision to build a park over part of an unused rail line in Queens could make it impossible, or at least very difficult, to build a transit line for the same route — at least according to the depressing trajectories of similar efforts in Maryland and Georgia.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social killing queenslink after previously supporting it would be the biggest black eye of his administration thus far. This would be a transformational project beyond this RoW and would provide faster service + better transfers than IBX

How come whenever someone fails to kill the president, the whole conservative establishment blames us for correctly labeling him a fascist, but when trans women are murdered there isn’t a single call to “tone down the rhetoric?”

Well, the good news is California has spent the last two decades building dense, infill development and investing in bike lanes, public transit, and high speed rail connecting its major cities so the impact of this should be minim- [puts finger to ear] California did what now?

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

I would rather attend an event with a super shitty, MS paint made flyer, an event with a flyer scrawled in crayon by your nondominant hand, than attend an event advertised with an AI slop flyer.

yes, it's people who have extracted value from ai vs. people who have only seen it extract value from them. i don't think people who have been exploited owe any grace to those evangelizing it to them, which is why i wish enthusiasts would leave the skeptics alone and stop acting like the underdogs

Paris is in the process of building 4 new subway lines covering 120 miles of track and serving 68 new Metro stations. New York City should be able to add 4 stops by extending an existing subway line along an existing right of way. Can we have just a little ambition? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/n...

nightmares about highway driving after not getting behind the wheel of a car for a fucking decade, but yes i am ready to be a mech pilot

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

5.

we shouldn't just solarize the country because it's the coolest fucking technology on earth. there are practical benefits too

Can this be a solution?

None of this would be happening if Mega Man Legends 3 hadn't been canceled

how it feels taking public transit rn

Do you care about things? The AI companies want to stop that. Their product, more than any other invention in human history, is training you to stare dead-eyed while a machine serves you a stream of mediocrity

"AI" is a program of rooting out every little tiny bit of light in your life and extinguishing it bsky.app/profile/wsst...

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

It's kinda annoying how solar panels were hung around the neck of the left as impractical pie in the sky treehugger shit *right* up until it started outcompeting every other energy source. Then suddenly, instead of going "hey the left was correct about solar" it's no longer a "left" idea!

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

Rip to the last guy that new how to make a console look fucking cool

ICE has completely broken our social contract. They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

but why do we intuitively consider AI art to be dishonest? well, there’s all the plagiarism, for one thing. but honestly, i don’t think most people are thinking about that! art is a form of communication, so let’s draw an analogy with language and talk about The Cooperative Principle (1/6)

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it. While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

This is something really special, from one of my favorite science communicators, but also one of my favorite cultural commentators. Do yourself a favor and set aside some time to watch it. Your dishwasher will thank you.

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

me, emotionally writing an essay on the use of force by federal agents: ok but what if i packaged this in the most insane way possible www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

"When one fed attempted to blow off the crowd by visibly watching basketball highlights on his phone, a protester shouted “You’re watching ads, you broke bitch! Kill yourself!” The federal agent returned to his room shortly thereafter." crimethinc.com/2026/01/27/t...

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

Oh, you served in the military? Thank you for doing horrible things for the people who ruin our lives.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

At what point does losing 77 billion dollars impact a business? The global box office for all movies, put together, in total, all movies everywhere in 2025 was 33.5 billion dollars. He lost more than double that on “legs”

It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
