Reminder that James Cameron became a Stability AI boardmember because the Avatar VFX crew unionized. This is who he's always been, just look at the Aliens documentary and how angry he was over the UK union mandated breaks.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

People WILL refuse to vote for a party that persecutes trans people, cuts social security, scapegoats immigrants and supports genocide. If your response to that is 'nooo, they're voting wrong, they'll let the REAL bad guys win' rather than 'let's make sure they don't have to', YOU are the problem.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

tl;dr: Bluesky began with genuine promise: a new social media platform where users could feel safer, but inconsistent moderation quickly eroded trust. When systemically marginalized users pushed back, Bluesky’s leadership minimized concerns and began to target them for bans.

To be clear, these apartments have been sitting empty during the Adams administration, when there were NOT rent freezes, but somehow a potential future policy is the problem.

the recognition of a state that excludes its right to have a standing army while also actively funding the foreign army massacring its people is worse than worthless—it's a ruse intended to publicly absolve those responsible for genocide without any material change to business as usual

Covid cause brain damage guys. Losing your sense of taste and smell is a sign your brain is infected. They have found covid in the brains of ppl who did and did not die of covid. A truth too hard to believe, I know. 😷

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

People unfamiliar with science will say "well we have one paper not showing a link and another paper showing a link." This is misleading because the papers are NOT created equally. The scientific/methodological rigor of Ahlqvist is much stronger.

This is what happens when the contradictions between the indoctrination and our material conditions expands in absence of trustworthy meaning makers.

america runs on americans believing that no matter how challenging things get here, that we still have it remarkably better than the rest of the world. if we knew what life was like in other countries the whole thing would be so much harder for them to manage

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'." MBA-brain is real.
