Also every piece of human knowledge created between 2022 and the proper regulation of the bullshit machines is going to have to be quarantined with extreme prejudice, to stop this stuff cascading down to information stream forever. Like if everything asbestos touches also became asbestos.

Easy answer: Because to them, “Retro” is anything more than 10 years old… and that’s basically the EXACT point where tech flipped from being something that solved problems to something that sold subscriptions. Kids aren’t stupid. They see it.

We can just try again tomorrow🫶

I don’t care if your book has a Paint cover. I don’t care if you have typos. I don’t care if you took the cover photo with your phone. But I do not want to read a book YOU DID NOT WRITE. Writing requires you to write. To feel. To think. To impart that. That is step one to Being a Writer.

So annoying that companies that promote GenAI and LLMs called it AI and didn’t differentiate it from the advanced machine learning algorithms and tools that enable so many great things that are also AI but actually solving a problem, and good.

grrrr

We have to listen to bigoted handwringing about how we have to abandon trans people and marginalized communities and immigrants while the clearest election winning message is right there.

Forest Grove, OR ❌🧊 Hundreds of Forest Grove HS students walked out —marching in the rain with signs (“We are all immigrants”) to oppose ICE fear. Cars honked, community rallied. Walkouts spread across Washington Co. Students demand safety; schools pledge warrant-only access.

A little purr (sound on) 🐾🤍

Winter quest!❄️/ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\ ...wallpaper link in bio!

I like this proposal to progressively tax high CEO-to-worker pay ratios. This is what every tax should consider—how it can shape behavior in a desired direction. I'll add that I think this should be paid in newly issued shares into a national UBI-paying fund that all corps should pay into annually.

Private equity’s latest victim? Your grandma’s nursing home.

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

but also, let this be a lesson to everyone; time & energy is finite, nobody owes anyone attention, engagement or an argument there’s so many bad faith attempts at “debate” or whatever & it almost always ends with the one arguing looking afool & showing their ass

Texas Democrats just did something historic under the leadership of new state party chair @kendallscudder.bsky.social. We have filed a candidate in EVERY 2026 race. U.S. Senate: 1 of 1 U.S. House: 38 of 38 State Senate: 15 of 15 State House: 150 of 150 State Board of Education: 8 of 8

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?" The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

the very rich people currently trying to rewrite our media consumption: what the people want is more canceled comedians whining about trans people the audience, voting with their eyeballs: bring us more gay hockey sex

"The foundational damage was done in 1976, when Buckley v. Valeo established that spending money is constitutionally protected speech."

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

Thread, long but very worth it.

A reminder that "too much information coming in too fast for an autistic brain to process can lead to meltdowns" applies to autistic people whether they can speak or not, whether they have ID or not. Explaining away this imposed distress as "autistic behavior" is both unkind, and unhelpful. #autism

Sent my testimony to ODOT. 💪 No more fucking freeway expansions.

And also, life is not supposed to be *permanently* stressful. We're adapted to short periods of stress. If you maintain that kind of thing for weeks, let alone months or years, with no respite or hope, that's putting people into PTSD territory.

Work in progress for my next pin! I guess I'm on a "hot boys and their pets" kick right now. Anyway, Gambit and his kitties will be available to preorder on January 1st. 😉 #gambit #xmen

"porn's going back underground" "we're going back to cash" "we're going to crypto" "we're gonna mail print only" how about instead of saying funny shit online you call your reps and speak up for us so we don't have to do this

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

Being extremely careful about image/video attribution isn’t JUST important for giving credit to artists and creators. It’s also a way to slightly decrease your chances of spreading deceptive AI slop!

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.

The artificer nodded. "I can build this wheeled chair, but why? You have an enchanted hover seat." "Yes," the wizard fumed, "but the palace have erected magic-cancelling wards." "Why?" "Don't know. But they didn't think of people who need mobility aids. So I need wheels to go shout at the king."

The heated rivalry between the two students finally came to a head, and the swordmaster reluctantly agreed to let them duel, to first blood It did not end as expected. "Next time," the swordmaster said at last, "I want you to wipe your swords and sheathe them before you start kissing."

I bought this during the sale and just got it. I only just started reading it but I love it!! It’s already helped me totally reorganize my refrigerator so that it actually works with how my brain works and not how you’re ’supposed’ to use it!! 🤯🥰

I zoomed in, added a bit of contrast, and went back and forth over the first few seconds to show how the ground around the vents bulges outward before the lava breaks through and blasts it apart. Remarkable stuff. Nature is neat. #Kilauea
