Hoser economics, for the people.

Thank you @seanorr.bsky.social for raising awareness how the Vancouver city garbage trucks were missing as street blockades.

Heartbroken to hear of the incident at today’s Lapu Lapu festival, which was such a beautiful community celebration. This is horrific. Thank you to all emergency personnel on scene.

To be clear, this is fxcking stupid and heartbreaking. I have an incredibly difficult time understanding terfs, and I had no clue how prominent it was until I moved to the UK…

The Vagina Museum is trans inclusive. We always have been and we always will be. As long as there's a Vagina Museum, we cannot be bullied or bought to change our stance on this.

The “author_is_elon” code snippet introduced by Twitter engineers to placate Musk is one of the most telling and funniest parts of “Character Limit.”
A screenshot of page 397 of the book “Character Limit” by Kate Conger and Ryan Mac. The highlight reads: “While they had found the problem, the engineers lacked an elegant solution and instead went about cobbling together a fix to calm Musk. Within the recommendation algorithm, they introduced code ‘author is_elon,’ essentially ensuring that the system would place a heavier emphasis on pushing his posts into users' personally curated feeds. In effect, Musks tweets would have higher priority over any other post.” Cover of the book “Character Limit” by Kate Conger and Ryan Mac.

This pains me, because content moderation work is not for most, and even the best of us with the toughest stomachs have an expiry date doing it.

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. (Peaceful) protest is a right of passage in uni life. If you’re not peaceful, then FAFO exists.

The latest innovation in tech allows for the direct bribery of the president using securities fraud.

Just breathtaking how brazen this is.
"Screenshot from an Axios article discussing cryptocurrency tied to Trump-controlled entities. It explains that 200 million out of 1 billion total coins have been released and are actively traded, while the remaining coins will be sold over the next three years. It estimates Trump's companies will sell about 24 million coins monthly, generating an estimated income of $1.73 billion per month or $20.7 billion annually, although future coin value is uncertain."
