Fiercely liberal, unabashedly nerdy. Cantankerous, mouthy, and defiant. Too many pets (as if!). LGBTQ+ ally and safe space. Fuck intolerance! "Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it." Just a big bird, hello. No relation to Creepy Dave. Okay, BYE.

Summer's over, enjoy this absolute downpour just in time for the long weekend. Hope you didn't have outdoor plans! 😆

"People won't work if you give cash." The evidence keeps piling up: guaranteed income increases employment and improves job quality. In CA pilots, full‑time jobs rose up to 2x vs control; higher‑quality jobs 3x.

Google went from "don't be evil" literally written on the wall of their offices, to "we support fascists." Infuriating.

Canadians in particular have no business going down this path. Do we not remind ourselves every single year? Forgetting our past or failing to learn from it is shameful.

Because The Witcher is good and AC isn't? Ubisoft's open worlds always feel so bland, repetitive, and pointless. Especially since they decided to start level gating so you don't even get to just wander around feeling powerful, you have to stay in appropriate areas or trash mobs will shrug you off.

Very clearly ICE has become so violent and lawless that it, as an agency, no longer is trusted. It is beyond reform. ICE will need to be closed and its officers and agents prosecuted for murder, kidnapping, and other felonies. A new way of seeing immigration has to be found.

“When a sensible argument can be made for Universal Basic Income across conservative, liberal, and libertarian principles, then it follows that UBI should be pursued as an effective policy that transcends ideologies because of its common sense.” From a signer of the AI Pledge for Humanity (for UBI)
Promotional graphic for The AI Pledge for Humanity. A muted beige layout features a wide banner image at the top showing a lone figure standing on reflective shallow water beside a large black letter A, with the text “The A Pledge for Humanity.” Below, a quote from a pledge signer reads: “When a sensible argument can be made for Universal Basic Income across conservative, liberal, and libertarian principles, then it follows that UBI should be pursued as an effective policy that transcends ideologies because of its common sense.” A “Signed” badge appears on the right, and the bottom text says: “Sign & share your own — aipledgeforhumanity.org.

Ah, congrats! I always loved this game as a kid, I liked when new games were something other than just "more of the old game," and the difficulty never bothered me either. More challenge means more satisfaction when you get there! 😊

I mean I totally hear you, but honestly I see just as many gym / bathroom mirror selfies from women as men. I just don't care. Show me your brain works. Show me your conscience, your morals, your heart. Male, female, other, doesn't matter. Surface is irrelevant, only the content of your character.

People should never fear their government. The government should fear its people. If you were actual public servants, you'd have nothing to worry about.

Corporations should not be allowed to own single family homes / units. Neither should investment firms. Housing is not meant to be a speculative market, it's meant to be HOUSING. For people. We have strayed so far from the path of serving the public instead of serving the bottom line.

Want to significantly reduce suicide rates? Start universal basic income. Decouple survival from employment entirely and enable everyone to truly pursue happiness.

Really not sure how a democracy comes back from "no, that statewide election with a clear result didn't count because we say so." When of course in my state we 1) didn't even get a vote and 2) the state police held guns to the opposition, including my representative, to get their bill passed.

UBI is a defense against corporations forcing workers out and making them afraid so those who remain will be more complacent, accepting less pay & worse conditions. AI is an excuse and not sustainable in its current form, but CEOs are pushing forward with it anyway to maintain control. We NEED UBI!

UBI is a just foundation for a society where everyone can have their basic needs met. UBI made a lot of sense before AI too. But AI only strengthens the case for a UBI even more. AI models are trained on data that we have collectively produced over the ages & its gains should flow back to all of us.

I want us to hit the point where we all stop playing the game they require of us. I want the rage of being forced into starvation and poverty to fuel explosive fires. I want CEOs to be terrified again. I want rich men to remember no amount of money will stop them from bleeding to death.

Stupid people (conservatives) are SO stupid they don't comprehend their own incompetence & ineptitude, so they can't foresee their own failures. They assume that what they think / want will simply come to pass because they will it so, and their innate skills can do nothing but succeed. Delusional.

Think of all the people who could run social programs, to care for the elderly, to help the mentally ill, to run animal shelters, to help reclaim damaged environments, if they didn't have to worry about where their next meal would come from. Think of the teachers who wouldn't have to work 3 jobs.

"As a published writer and educator of folks who will never be paid according to the real value of their contributions to society, I think UBI can free a lot of us to... seriously consider a life of work that 'doesn't pay' in money terms, but adds so much in other currencies to all our lives."
