I've lived in so-called red states all my life. Most of my loved ones live in them. I've seen countless innocent people suffer in them.
If you're slinging the "they got what they voted for line," whether saying it yourself or amplifying someone who does, you're getting removed from my TL.

do AI adopters in libraries understand that refusing/protesting a system is diff. than blaming individuals affected by a system?
when they claim refusal of AI is “not helpful,” what i hear is that they aren’t making a connection between their labor as information workers to data workers in Kenya

You have a deadline and must remain employed. You have an emergency at work and must be on call. You have a finals project. You have a group project. You have a major mess that has to be cleaned or your house is in peril (gutter problems are a known source of water!).

It will be contagious. Your household will be down and out for the count and not answering the door so please don’t drop by! You cannot help! We are contagious!
And then don’t answer the door. If they have keys (WHY??) Change those locks or add a door chain.

It is T-7.5 days to Thanksgiving, and if you absolutely CANNOT BEAR to make an appearance at the Racist Relative or Overbearing Inlaw table this year, and they won’t take “no, you’re assholes”, it is Groundwork Time!

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Hello, H&R Block!
(I got certified as a Block preparer about 20 years ago so that I could handle ours more cleanly. Totally worth it.)
They were slower off the mark with a MacOS and iOS app than Intuit, but their applications are now stable and sturdy, so back to Block, unless they pull this, too.

Intuit is integrating ChatGPT into their TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, & Mailchimp services, & vice versa. Which is to say, I think a SHIT TON of people are about to get audited.
They also claiming no bleedover btwn your financial data & ChatGPT, which… okayy… 😬

i try not to get too upset about the way the attention economy moves because i know i do it too but the federal goons never left. they went from 10 raids a day to 1-2 because they don’t have the capacity to do this shock and awe campaign nationwide. but they’re still here
People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Letting ya know that Elyon Badger’s account got suspended with a vague explanation, and it lands really weird when he’s a congressional candidate pushing for things most of us actually care about. He talks about healthcare access, rights to repair, LGBTQ+ rights, and working-class protections. (1/4)

can we appreciate just how badly Johnson and Trump played this Epstein vote? total failure of a pressure campaign, delayed for months to ensure it stays in the news and immediately swamps "the Dems caved" as soon as the shutdown ends, and now it passes 427-1

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

My personal “Don’t give to the Salvation Army” story:
When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.
Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:

Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.
