For disability reasons, it's been somewhat rare that I make it out to actual picket lines when they happen, or that I would hold a sign (my hands are usually on my crutches), but thanks to @rattusrose.bsky.social, I was able to commission what I would look like out there

If I were a Discord employee I'd be screaming at my CEO asking why they just torched the value of my stock options right before an IPO.

I don't remember where I heard it first but I remember someone saying something to the effect of "When you learn about the US's meddling with the decades of history of the not-colonies it has to it's south, it's hard to not see it as guilty for the creation of 3rd world countries for it to exploit"

I really wish everyone who made t-shirts disclosed what kind of printing process they used. It really sucks to order something you thought was a simple screen print but turns out to be a cheap plastic transfer

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

this also might serve as a good launching point for a thought i've been drafting and thinking about, that i'm worried any hope for a bubble or an AI winter or anything like that (stuff i've hoped for myself) might be too optimistic; people who love AI don't really care about accuracy, but rather ->

i hate how predictable and avoidable this shit is and yet we don't avoid it at all, because some people see the opportunity to run little authoritarian fascist domains on their phones and their eyes roll back.
Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.
NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.

I tried to listen to an episode of Critical Role again because I thought maybe I was missing something still and just needed to see another side of it. Nope, the 4 hour runtime still feels unwieldy. I'm just not built for that kind of pacing
