Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Idk I think part of the issue is that most of the big issues my industry (and the world) faces aren’t really technology problems. But everyone in power certainly wants them to be. Cause a technology problem can be solved easily just by making new shit. But changing the way you do things: much harder 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’m always just amazed in the world at large how often it’s technology in search of a problem rather than a problem in search of a technology. Thinking about AI yet again 111

Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Actually really freaking excited about some life things for the first time in such a long time. It feels really nice. 150
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 26/09/2026On the one hand there’s a big chunk of business people who have business brain worms and are incapable of acting like a rational kind human. On the other, there’s a big chunk of people who lean left that I’m convinced have never run as much as a group project. 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I wonder how the guys in charge of AI would feel if they put the agents in charge of their bank accounts to best allocate them and it donated all their billions to charity. 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I don’t really have the energy to write about it, and it’d be guaranteed to make everyone angry, but as helpful as I found the fat liberation/haes/body positivity movements —-damn do they just have some gaping holes in particular related to gender and like agency with your body . 100
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I wonder what the reaction would be if Trump was threatening to close a sports stadium 000

Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Most of the industrialized nations are capitalist. So why is it that capitalist forces have only made the U.S. like THAT. Here it seems we pride ourselves on executive stupidity, poor quality, worker misery, and extreme short term profits. 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Ah yes from the party that is so worried about voter fraud and needing a passport to vote. 001
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Maybe I’m an Apple apologist but I really don’t see why people make fun of them for taking the time to execute an idea well. Doing something fast or first is not the same as doing it well. I also don’t get why people seem to think a ride built in one year is better than 3 years. 100
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I haven’t practiced piano in 8 months, sat down and I do say have to say how encouraging it is that something I couldn’t remember within 15 minutes I was doing again - muscle memory is a wild thing. 100
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It’s so depressing that Trump gave people permission to indulge their worst impulses and a huge swath of society was like “ugh yes finally”, and started acting accordingly. And I don’t just mean republicans and maga. 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Between making gas cost the price of gold and beef unsafe to eat Trump might actually secretly be a climate activist. 020
Reposted by KiraMark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I am generally skeptical of boycotts. But I don't think one can overstate the degree to which J.K. Rowling has chosen to make loathing of trans people and cruelty about them into her primary identity. Nobody on earth will suffer from skipping the Harry Potter series. Let's not make her richer. 10811162
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The U.S. is going to need to make rapid profound changes over the next couple years or otherwise we’re headed towards a really ugly collapse of some kind and I don’t love that 030
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The economy really is wack. I have the highest salary I’ve ever had and yet my budget is the least flexible it’s ever been 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I’m honestly worried that dems will win the midterms overwhelmingly but won’t have the balls to do anything meaningful to actually reign the chaos in and punish people for the thousands of broken laws. 120
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Always gonna wear a helmet, especially in the states, but I gotta say the couple days I was in France and didn’t have the option, wind going through the hair felt awesome, and we really need helmets that give that cooling 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Guys we live in a society. Don’t just leave your laundry in the shared washing machines! There’s an app! It freaking tells you when the load is done. 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I know the show is controversial but with some distance the here we are score is actually becoming pretty high up in my list of favorite Sondheim shows. It has some of his most beautiful lyrical melodies wedged in there and some truly unbelievable reuses of theme barely detectable 100
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I never understand how billionaires and corporations don’t realize that their best defense against socialism (which they don’t want) is just to give massive amounts of money towards the public good and treat employees well. But that’s too hard for them. 010

Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Education in America is something…I can’t believe I didn’t know until recently that sectoral bargaining was outlawed early in the 20th century. I work in film and all the unions are sectoral and I never understood why modern unions were always only like one specific Starbucks. Completely fucked 100
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I’m kinda glad I never made it to Tik tok and got off twitter, cause now occasionally getting glimpses of it from the outside - it seems like everyone is slowly losing their minds 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Ever have a dream that in the dream feels super significant even when you wake up. But then you write it down and you’re just like “that’s the most hallucinogenic thing I’ve ever seen” 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Maybe people still are doing this on the visual Internet but forgive me for not wanting to make videos with my face every 5 minutes 020
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Miss when it was much easier to have community and meet people online. Most of the internet where that would happen now all feels like Roman ruins 130
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Special place in hell for online businesses trying to sell diets and workout regimens to trans women to shape their body. It’s just outright scamming to desperate people. No diet or workout regime can target fat in specific areas 220
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I’m discouraged by how broken things are but also encouraged that it wouldn’t actually take that much to start fixing it. Really just need a couple right people at the right time. 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Current government is banning robotic vacuums, e-bikes, transit, walkable neighborhoods, 3d printers, trans healthcare, and a bunch of food is unsafe to eat - if they get rid of legos and theme parks, it’ll be pretty much all my interests. 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I do think these people actually must earnestly be trying to be as evil as possible. 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I don’t disagree that the economy has changed in many ways for the worse over the last several decades but I also think a lot of young people have really rosy views of the past. Like no, or really any, long international travel was not a common thing for the everyday family. 010
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Overall I’m excited by the new lands coming to the magic kingdom but it would have been cool if they used the opportunity to move the HM queue to restore this view. 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I really get aggravated when people say Ellen’s energy adventure was pro oil. It literally covered all the renewables first, made it clear fossil fuels were not a long term solution, and hoped we’d solve fusion. The ride was literally solar powered. 160
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Random question…did Hershey bars used to be less…bendy? I don’t remember them being flexible in the 90s 000
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I do sometimes wonder what percent of terfs are that way simply because they don’t understand what trans people look like. 020
Kira @grandfla.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I am soooooooooooo tired of arrogant stupidity being in charge of everything or coalescing fake moral panics about shit they know nothing about. It’s exhausting 020
