More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
HUGE: Autozone workers just won the first ever union at the company. Despite Autozone spending an estimated $210,696 and using every tactic in the book to stop just 11 workers from forming a union, the small shop in New York chose to unionize today. These workers will now join the @uaw.org.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

You're in charge of a war that you're losing, the Houthi are on the march to Riyadh, you've run the Navy ragged, you've lost almost all your bases in the Middle East, you're out of missiles (mostly) that you need in case China steals a march on Taiwan...and you're at a fucking football game.

I resent a lot of things about AI in creative spaces. But the thing that I hate the most is that a year or two ago, if I saw something cool on the internet, I DIDN'T HAVE TO QUESTION whether or not human effort created it. I could appreciate what an achievement it was that a person could do that.

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you use AI tools and don't disclose their use I'll never buy your things. If you use AI and disclose it, I'll judge you harshly and the amount I'm willing to pay will fall to an amount approaching zero. If you can't be bothered then neither can I.

Real talk, you can't seriously give weight to ANYTHING owned by meta. They grew their platform on organic reach, got mad when content creators branched out to other services and started hiding posts behind the algorithm even if you followed, subscribed, whatever. Threads is "oops all bots", ☠️

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.

Interview excerpt with Sam Neill:
"If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it?"
"It's got to be big! No slipping something into someone's drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are; otherwise, when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast..."

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

I think a lot about the scene in Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse where Kathryn Hahn's Dr. Olivia "Doc Ock" Octavius returns after chasing 3 spider-persons escaping from Alchemax Lab. She neutralizes a threat, meets Kingpin on his level, then rises above him.

You know how it’s pretty common knowledge that struggling restaurants never turn around declining business by switching to frozen bulk supply and shrinking portions while raising prices? I think about that a lot when I hear businesses are “investing in AI” instead of paying bonuses to employees.

I would pay $20 for a firmware patch for my shitty Kenwood kmm-bt270u car head unit where they take the GIANT ROUND VOLUME KNOB AND BUTTON and make it the play/pause instead of the worlds smallest “6”. Swap them. Did no one working at Kenwood use this thing in a real car? I don’t need EQ change!
Faceplate of a car head unit made by Kenwood. The volume knob is huge, and tactile. Unfortunately in addition to the volume (which it’s very good at) it is also the menu for changing the equalizer presets. 99% of my interaction with the radio is volume, play, and pause. Why is the knob press not ALSO play and pause?!

@mattdixonart.bsky.social thanks for making and sharing your art. Apparently it’s been 21 years since I reached out after seeing some of your art on Livejournal and I bought some prints. They still have pride of place in my office.
A photograph of a corner of a room. Two art prints hang above a PC case, framed in black “floating” between panes of glass. One depicts a dull gray robot opening a boxed present, a stuffed pink teddy bear. The other shows a damaged robot seemingly designed for war, pausing to notice a balloon floating past.

The way no one pushes back on this, loudly, to his face, infuriates me
Modified meme image, originally a boy with glasses, holding a book, gesturing at a butterfly but asking “is this a pidgeon?”, changed so the butterfly represents an illegal, immoral, and stupefyingly stupid war against Iran and the boy (representing the latest dumb shit TFG spewed) “Is this an Article 5?”, where the president started an illegal war, lied about it being a war, lied about ending the war, then started begging NATO nations for help continuing the illegal war after commenting the first real truth excreted from his ignorant face: “maybe we shouldn’t be there at all”

To which the entire world shouted “That information would have been more useful (three weeks ago) yesterday”

In WW2, the British government mobilized to create a global, distributed logistics chain aimed solely at keeping Britain supplied with one resource. Flagged as a critical war effort, at times it carried a shipping priority higher than munitions. That resource was Tea. 🧵 /1 (Image: IWM D 10405)
