@sfdirewolf.bsky.social touched my life in more ways than I was able to express to her. She saw me, heard me, spoke with me, guided and gave me space to let my rage out and I'll forever be immensely grateful for her presence and bravery as a disability activist who spoke truth to power.❤️🔥

Hollywood isn't interested in making films or shows about regular people being heroic whether on a grand national/international scale, or more local in their community because the powers that be don't want the audience, the people to start thinking of themselves as being capable of changing things.
TV and film of the moment aren't going to galvanize anyone. But stories closer to home just might

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.
This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The use of “risk” here is so fucking terrible. Like having an autistic kid is a bad thing. A risk you want to avoid. Like autistic people are something to get rid of.

Every time I see the asinine plans people like Zuckerberg come up with to use AI/GenAI to make life more isolating and less imaginative, I think of how much damage is being done to the environment to do it. The land, air, and people being poisoned so these technocrats can feel like great innovators.
Meta's AI plan is to automatically create personalized advertisements for companies that are different for different users, further siloing people
Zuckerberg says advertisers will "be able to give us a business objective and a credit card" and AI will do the rest

The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You
"Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else."

I keep thinking about how SNAP subsidizes American farmers and feeds American children and their families and cuts to SNAP will fuck farmers and starve children and their families and that's a pretty batshit thing to actively want to do

Those people have never read the Bible with any depth. It's just a tool of supremacy for them the same way their ancestors used it to oppress enslaved Africans and Indigenous people across the world.
They talk about Jihad, but no one has done more damage in the name of religion than white people.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

So this is in a new book coming out this week and I’ve never seen an entire graf devoted to extolling the virtues of respecting copyright
Is this new … and a response to AI? Or have publishers been doing this for a while and I just didn’t notice?

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.
