The context of *this* wave of visceral rage at rapists is that in the past decade we've seen them take complete control of the government, turn the entire economy into their ponzi scheme, gain trillions of dollars of exploited wealth. We've seen an opposition party abjectly fail at stopping them

Nocturnal Garden by Laine Bachman.

This image is a vibrant, highly detailed folk-art style painting depicting a whimsical nighttime garden scene filled with colorful, stylized insects and flowers.

Crickets have dominated my
deeply unsatisfactory Bluesky

Not every user’s experience
on here is the same. It’s a social multiverse, and I seem to have
been assigned to one of the shittiest ones.

I gave a talk last week about tech billionaires (we really don't like them) and how to fight them (labour organizing, it's always labour organizing). Come take a 9-minute break from producing shareholder value and watch! Thanks to @thewalrus.ca for inviting me for #WalrusTalks 🍁

Former Steelers HC turned NBC lead football analyst Mike Tomlin started playing Minecraft 12 years ago as a means to bond w/ his kids. Eventually they stopped. He kept going. I watched all 20 minutes of this tour of the city he built and I'm flabbergasted.

Someone at work once asked me what my guilty pleasure was and I immediately shot back “pleasure never makes me feel guilty.” I’ve seldom felt cooler than I did in that moment. Literally one minute later I tripped on an extension cord and hit my head on a whiteboard in front of the entire office

The Trump administration, and the fascist right more broadly, wants to eliminate transgender Americans from society—they want to make them invisible, unable to receive the medical care they need, forced to live a lie. That’s why some genocide scholars are calling it genocide.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Nice to see a politician whose Christian faith seems to mostly result in his acting like somebody who follows Christ. Of course, Jesus wouldn’t have thrown trans athletes under the bus, being famously a supporter of marginalized people.

"Anthropic leaders to control AI lab via 'Founder LLC' to promote the common good" www.reuters.com/legal/transa.... If only Elinor Ostrom was still around to explain to these AI doomer numpties that 'common good' is something we decide _in common_, not via a cabal.

screenshot from linked Reuters piece which reads: "Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic has long positioned itself as the virtuous AI company. An early look at its IPO filing shows how it is creating a new "Founder LLC" vehicle aimed at serving the common good, while insulating its leaders from market forces.
The new LLC will be made up initially of Anthropic's seven co-founders including CEO Dario ‌Amodei, individuals who are "distinctly equipped to be stewards of our mission," according to a copy of the filing, seen by Reuters. Anthropic's mission is to benefit humanity through responsible AI."

Hi, I'm an expert on addiction and social media is absolutely addictive. It was designed to be because it's more profitable that way, and it's incredibly effective at doing its job. I am available for interviews if you'd like to consult someone who knows what they're talking about.
