We’ve had a lot of rain recently, so

Sketched this today— took an hour

I know in the farming industry farmers voted for trump so they could essentially abuse their h1b visa workers and force them into a sort of slavery and abusive labour contract. @sarahtaber.bsky.social can tell you more about it on her YouTube channel

I think AI is a cover story for companies switching to visa based employment/outsourcing overseas, it doesn’t explain everything, but there’s no way AI is causing enough automation to cover for the layoffs. And companies are offering jobs at 50% less pay. They KNOW they can get your labour cheaper!

I have a question. So companies are laying off workers, right? Sometimes they state it’s AI. But I actually wonder if this is related to the WFH phenomenon in the sense that everyone was made to come back into the office. But what if organisations and companies realised they don’t need employees

Thanks @yieki.bsky.social Excellent as always! Impeccable product and packaging!

If you need some cute in your life here is my fluffy yellow duckling asleep and snuggled up to my salmon coloured sphynx cat.

Sphynx cats run hotter than other cats and they don’t have a vicious bone in their body. Week old ducklings need a lot of warmth. Truly a match made in heaven.

So… mum… you want me standing in the food, yes?

Wish I could get Beyond Good and Evil on Steam. Nostalgia!

Lmfao

No-one tell this guy about cave art

My favourite thing is how Covid absolutely broke a few economists' brains. They really did not cope well with health academics telling them to stick to their lane.

As always, the causation is completely twisted. Even if you think the atom bomb metaphor isn't right, the red hot anger from the community existed before it. It's condescending to attribute their real, material and serious complaints to 'disinformation'. The problem is the project is clearly bad

Yeah, I don’t trust Taylor as a reliable source anymore, there are many other people addressing the topics she speaks on who’re worth listening to

Wait until those librarians are also AI agents HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA

Yes! And a tacked on transcript is not a structured paragraph I can read easily either

Affordable is as much as a con as carbon credits.

"My late father was in Auschwitz. My late mother was in the Majdanek concentration camp. "And it is precisely because of the lessons my mother and father taught me and my two siblings that I will not remain silent in the face of the crimes Israel commits against Palestinians!" — Norman Finkelstein

From the river to the sea.

As a mayor, sure! 😒

Hahahahaha Omg I may die of laughter

Hahahhahaha

Same, tbh

But don’t worry, I’m sure the influencers they watch give them all the news they need in an unbiased way

I am listening to the rain on the roof, I have a duckling happily snuggled into my neck, and I am reading a thoughtful book. In the distance, I can hear my kid playing and squealing happily. It’s a perfect moment.

It’s been 5 days since I was diagnosed level 1 autistic. It feels like it doesn’t belong to me, it feels fraudulent, I’m really struggling to accept it. I swore I’d get tested just to put the idea to rest. It wasn’t autism, just adhd. And despite the constant evidence it’s a correct diagnosis

I’m reading Ta-Nehisi Coates “between the world and me” And I’m stopping almost every second sentence to reflect and let the words sink in. It is not a light read, but it is one that should be required. And every chapter should end having shifted something about your perspective on the world.

House prices are NEVER going to drop. Same with food prices. This is the new normal. We generally only ever raised wages, right? I mean in a meaningful way.

Creativity, euphemisms galore, and absolutely warranted and necessary critiques (without the pesky political centre pandering). As an author, I specifically enjoyed this one! And the creator is here on Bluesky @caelan.bsky.social youtu.be/gZUCHqotnwA?...

It’s fulfilling its role. It’s giving you a reply. Every time you ask for a reply it replies… what YOU think about that reply is none of its business.

It’s been pouring rain for two days straight now. The backyard is a swamp

Who could have foreseen this very obvious consequence. People spilling state secrets only doing so for moral reasons and never to make a buck.

I had one child and you can’t blame it on me now because I’m part of the solution (Please please please read this as tongue-in-cheek sarcasm—I did have one kid tho)

People will do anything to avoid doing the most painful work. If you can’t bring yourself to do CRUCIAL, tedious work, then stay out of that field. Seriously. There is no academia without using, checking, and referencing your sources. That’s it.

Technofeudalism

I cannot stop laughing at this

more booing please

if you're refusing to get therapy and do that work to be happier, or at least find joy instead of focusing on *points to all the potential grievances*, money only insulates you from consequences

Guy with visible stink lines: the birth rate,

One thing no one tells you about having kids is just how often you’ll need to get up from where you’re sitting. Did you sit down? Why? What’s the long term plan here? YOU DONT HAVE ONE!

The @thirdactorg.bsky.social convenes monthly calls on #datacenters re: legal, corporate, political & narrative resistance On Monday: Michael Richardson w/ @thirdactupstateny.bsky.social & others linked w/ @billmckibben.bsky.social will discuss recent tactical wins: thirdact.org/events/fight...

Not even close to being over yet. Trump wants this and he wants the people to pay for it

I need someone to explain to me exactly how Mamdani manages to sidestep the very bureaucracy that other politicians always blame for their inability to get anything done. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

As an ex rehab case manager 😬😬😬😬😬

I looked at the data from 1680 and extrapolated to the present day and we should all be 200% pirates by now.
