TFW you realize you can’t make “your mom” jokes to the kids you are spending several days with because you like their mom too much. Their dad could take it but it just doesn’t have the same impact (I like him just as much, but differently).

I keep on getting texts for “[deadname]” asking about tree removal and other property owner services because they are “nearby in my neighborhood” and I love being able to mark them as spam and/or tell them that this is not [deadname] and to remove me from their lists.

Hey leftists, it’s ok to discuss disagreements about strategy, but if you say people who take COVID precautions: - are too scared to leave the house - demand that everyone wear a mask 24/7 - are terrified of a just a "cold" You are using far right anti-science talking points.

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

To Recap:

•16 years and Republicans don't have a healthcare plan

•17 years and Congress hasn't raised the minimum wage

•54 years and the US Government hasn't ratified the ERA

Meanwhile—7 Days and Zohran Mamdani got universal childcare for America's largest city

ONE WEEK

Stop letting politicians convince you that progress takes time. It takes leadership with the willpower to make it happen. That's it. Nothing else. Stop excusing mediocrity. Vote out these pathetic politicians. Vote in public servants like Zohran.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

That is such a hopeful - but incorrect - view. I've moderated polyamory groups on Facebook (yea, I know); trust me, they aren't all centrists, liberals, and leftists. Assuming anyone who identifies as - or is - polyamorous is NOT a bigot or right wing is dangerous, especially for non-men and POC.

It’s telling that it’s mainly cis, straight, able-bodied people crying, “How dare someone lose their life over politics!” That reaction shows they’ve never had skin in the game. For them, politics is abstract. For the rest of us, politics is survival—how we navigate the world just to stay alive.
