You want to make something smarter, faster, capable of not only operating drones and robotics but fabricating them? Have you any comprehension of just how stupid that is? That is like mice engineering a cat.

St Louis and Philadelphia's city councils just became the first to officially endorse the Starbucks Boycott. Starbucks is the biggest violator of US labor law in history, and it's time we ALL push back against corporate greed. ✊

8 city officials and Starbucks Workers United members smile and hold signs and banners saying "BOYCOTT STARBUCKS"

Duuuuuude. This one time I was working on Halo and Charlie Kirk got shot through the neck and I laughed at the irony. Then another time when I was working on Halo, Charlie Kirk's wife was doing that fireworks show funeral thing and I laughed so hard. And let's see you dweebs try to get me fired now!

Waymo is not a last-mile solution, nor a transit solution. And most certainly should not benefit from any of the transit funding we won in fighting for NITA. It is a car-centric proposal that offers no real systems change, shares all the same geometry, capacity, and environmental ills of cars.

there's more than a hint of 'noble savage' in the way people outside the trades talk about those jobs and especially those workers. there's a reason people leave those jobs for less physically demanding ones if the option becomes available! enough salt-of-the-earth rhapsodizing!

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

There are NOT machine-made clothes. If there were, your clothes would be made in the country you live in (where the customers are), or in China (where machines are cheap). They’re made in Bangladesh or India or Indonesia because that’s where the LABOUR is cheap. Your clothes are made by people.

Joyce Carol Oates says: “This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to
different consumers.“

Microsoft has laid off over 5,000 workers since July. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.
