“True inclusion is bringing the LGBTQ down into the gutter with us,” possibly the greatest thing Rob McElhenney has ever said. ✦ #iasip #MacMcDonald

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

My Pathfinder GM is pretty fuckin' awesome, if you didn't know already.

The A.I. oligarch takeover of 🇺🇸 continues: “Google paid state lawmakers upwards of $2,000 as “gifts” to cover their attendance at a secret all-inclusive summit with “educational” sessions extolling the benefits of A.I. & other issues they’ll vote on…” jacobin.com/2025/12/goog...

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

Oh potatoes and molasses! 🍂🎃 It’s that time of year again! Alongside your annual rewatch of OVER THE GARDEN WALL, you should watch BEYOND THE BROOK. It’s the Over the Garden Wall inspired TTRPG actual play I produced with some incredible talent. Check it out!: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

If you want a second opinion from another self educated backwoods dietician, you absolutely _do_ want to pick out the buckshot. I have eaten my fair share of squirrel. And I still have all my teeth well into my mid-40s.

“In the case of The U.S. Supreme Court v. Everyone Else, this court wins by a serious landslide.”

Get. Loud. Move.

Looking over the Epstein book messages, I'm struck by how comfortable everyone was with compiling something like this, contributing to it, and receiving it. Something most people with common sense would avoid like the plague. But the super-rich and powerful know how insulated they are.

[Bill Cassidy looking down at corpse of chicken he has fucked to death]: That chicken should not have been fucked that hard

In Boston, when they "cleared the camps," homeless folks had pills, medical devices, and wheelchairs thrown into the back of a trash truck and compacted. this is what it means when someone "clears the camps" - taking what little these people have left, and destroying it. the hope is they die.

Okay so hear me out. We're not allowed PUNCHING Nazis. Violence is never the answer. But what if, instead of punching them, we killed them with drone strikes and no due process? Or what if we drove up to them in unmarked vans and disappeared them? That's okay in America, right?

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

A shocking investigation, published in August 2024, revealed a well-funded, right-wing campaign to criminalize homelessness across the country. It’s a cruel and counterproductive effort, and looking at where we are today, it’s working. 1/10

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

The threat of “AI” to all professionals, not just UXDs. Skilled, responsible professionals think hard give the boss or client what they need, not what they ask for or think they want. “AI” elizas make stuff up to affirm what prompts ask for. We know what bosses & clients will choose. < thread >

What this sort of stuff is likely to do is make parents FEARFUL of their kid being on the spectrum. It provides an incentive towards denial and repression. Just like their anti-trans policies incentivize parents to try & deny and suppress unconventional gender expression and identity in their kids.

Very easy slam dunk issue for Dems that will be ignored because their consultants are scared of trans athlete polling.

we used to call vibe coding/vibe physics/etc things like “bullshitting” and “pretending to know what we’re doing because we don’t actually have a single clue as to how any of this works” why did we stop calling them those things.

You don’t build a concentration camp for legal detainees. You build a concentration camp for people you want removed from society.

The fact the New York Times is on a crusade to prevent a Muslim nominee for New York City’s mayor from getting elected while the most powerful people in the country openly talk about ethnic cleansing and dismantling democracy is why I will never stop despising that garbage fire of a newspaper.

I have this starter pack of great black TTRPG designers. Give them a follow! If you are a black TTRPG designer who wants to be included on the list, let me know! go.bsky.app/TSmxwUa

If an AI pitchman makes wild claims about what AI can do for an organization, leaders accept it without evidence. If I pitch a zero-cost, minor change to a necessary but broken process, it is met with skepticism. Will it work? Change is hard! From now on, I will pitch my recommendation as AI-driven.

The Quakers are probably the only US religious group shooting over 90% from the field on being on the right side of history.

Reminder to cancel autoshipping on stuff so you don't get surprised by tariff price hikes

And it's Bandcamp Friday. So it's a great time to buy this or any of the Electronic Saviors compilations. Or anything else you think might enjoy. Supporting the arts is an act of resistance.

Stand up to him, get rewarded. Try to placate, he'll just demand more. The way is clear

Upham Woods is trying to make up that funding gap with private donations so they can keep their AmeriCorps members on staff. It's a great place, and if you have the money to spare, please chip in to help. secure.supportuw.org/give/?id=2cc...

Donald Trump spent $23M on golf (up to mid march). Over 56 days, he spent $410k of our tax dollars each day at his own clubs. That is one 3-year NSF grant per day. Waste and abuse, my ass. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A refreshing bit of honesty on what Republicans mean when they talk about "waste, fraud, and abuse" in Medicaid: “Waste is defined as anything I can get 217 of my fellow colleagues to agree on” www.notus.org/congress/rep...

Uh anyone have this cease and desist letter he says they sent Democrats because I have some First Amendment concerns...

Vote against your Nixons, Reagans, & Bushes too. Their are many steps along road to fascism.

Every Democrat who put the PRESS Act on the back burner when they had the opportunity to codify journalist-source confidentiality should be ashamed. Everyone predicted this, yet those in a position to prevent it prioritized talking over doing.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

“I think the pattern in organized labor is generally that when rank-and-file workers lead, then risk-averse official union leaders tend to eventually follow.“ Whether you’re a federal worker or not, this discussion between @bcmerchant.bsky.social and @ericblanc.bsky.social is worth your time.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.
