Generally speaking I do need AI boosters to understand that I’ve lost my career and future plans entirely to AI-based cost cutting. so any time you’re talking about tech you have to understand people whose livelihoods were destroyed by a thing they didn’t choose to adopt they’re gonna be prickly lol

one future we could begin experimenting with right now is: when, as a way to deal with a problem, we are invited only to invent better ways to punish people, we can refuse

It's incredible how hard they work to miss the lesson. There's also a new thing coming out about a first nations/native ice hockey team! (It looks fun.) I'm starting to wonder if the NHL is secretly seeding more guy PR to capitalize on Heated Rivalry.

I do hope that Hollywood realizes that the popularity of Heated Rivalry was not because of the hockey but because of the romance and they can make wildly successful romance stories that aren’t specifically tied to hockey cause right now it feels like they’re missing the point LOL

I posted in my newsletter about an incarcerated comrade named Kenneth who is running a mobile library in prison. He needed a new cart and some readers generously donated. Here's the new cart! Thanks to those who supported him.
Two men in striped pants and white shirts stand by a cart with books, under a colorful “Perfection” sign on a white brick wall. One holds up two fingers in a peace sign, the other displays a book.

Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

The deep truth of contemporary reactionary politics is that, though they mouth dismissal of postmodernism, feminism, CRT, & intersectionality, they actually believe in all of it but simply want to liberate their exercise of the relevant forms of arbitrary power from any iota of guilt.

Of course the big MAHA Summit would kick out an actual reporter who does real journalism - but they'll surely admit MAHA bloggers who will write glowing puff pieces on beef tallow, peptides, & testosterone & who will stay on message when it comes to peddling kooky anti-science, anti-vaccine tropes!

I can understand why the features of a supposed AI assistant are compelling. I kinda wanna try it too. But I know too much about how these things work. Do not give a cloud-based agent access to your shit. Especially one from the big tech companies.

Because of #NorthCarolina partisan #gerrymandering, Republicans stack the deck against ALL Americans’ rights wherever YOU live. Our Congressional delegation is 10-4 favoring Republicans when it should be 7-7. If fair, Democrats would control the House of Representatives and Trump stopped #ncpol

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

i think creating situations where people have to negotiate their sexual orientation and gender identity with public fora of strangers who aren't personally invested in their well-being is bad, actually, and we are not harmed by the complexity of people's internal sense of self and labels

Iranian officials offered a 7-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. ends the U.S.’s naval blockade and waives sanctions on Iranian oil sales. Despite mounting casualties and an ever-worsening energy crisis spurred by the war, however, Trump rejected the proposal this weekend.

Rape is "a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear", said Susan Brownmiller, and she is correct.
