This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with @alexhanna.bsky.social about AI and workers, in which Hanna noted that bosses tend to think most feminized work can be automated because they imagine the work as reduced to the task itself and forget the necessary relational aspects.

Doncs sí, no es pot ser demòcrata i feixista. I sí, un demòcrata ha de ser antifeixista. Que hi hagi altres ideologies antifeixistes (teocràtiques, o qualsevol altre tipus de totalitarisme) no desmenteix cap de les afirmacions anteriors. Collons, és que s'ha d'explicar tot!

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

The requirements on freelance and part-time workers have only increased. So you have less time or, in gig-workers' cases, no control of your working time; and you must spend more of it doing paperwork and financial and management work, precluding skill building even worse than ever.

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

This is true. In 2016, I got into an argument with a gay man on a menswear forum. I've since made it my mission to make every man dress gay, thereby destroying his ability to tell who is actually gay and, ultimately, his chances of finding love. I built my social media following to achieve that goal
Someone on Twitter writes to me: "People should follow your advise if they want to look gay."

The biggest problem I have with the ‘AI is the solution to gatekeeping creativity’ is that the PROCESS is the POINT for anyone who compulsively works at their thing. It may look like there’s a point of arrival, but I assure there is not. The art is the work. Nobody is gatekeeping you from working.

It comes down to familiarity with the original medium. As far as Nintendo consoles go, I don’t think it’s until the NDS that you see that in sloppier rereleases, and even then it was integer multiples or powers of 2. What I find most jarring is fully fractional scaling and crisp fully AA’d fonts
