I know the main takeaway here is "tech bros trying to reinvent trains" but I also wanna point out how so many of these "services" function on the idea that everyone has the same amount of stuff, money, and mobility to use them.

I have accessibility concerns around the whole "robo taxi" thing that I haven't seen anyone talk about.

If Ableism Dropped an Album:

I’m Totally Accessible (There’s Just One Step)

She’s My Wife, Not My Nurse

You Have the Keys to My Heart (and the Elevator)

It’s Really None of Your Business

Slow Down, Speed Racer (So You Can Stab Me)

I Totally Know What It’s Like (The Ballad of the Broken Ankle)

There’s an enormous amount of stuff in this book I’d like to highlight, but start with:

“What emerges as the most elementary insight is that, since we do not now have any ways of making computers wise, we ought not now to give computers tasks that demand wisdom.”

@iwriteok.bsky.social @hungrybowtie.bsky.social Have you guys seen the subreddits where dudes try to build and "protect" their own AI models like something out of Blade Runner? www.reddit.com/r/BeyondTheP... Would love to hear y'all do an episode on it.

I see a lot of #disabled folks on here who are very worried. I can't offer advice on how to deal with the wider world. I can offer advice on day-to-day life stuff. You can see some of the questions I've answered here: urbancripple.com/ask-me-anyth...

Feel free to submit a question if you have one.

I can’t deny how much laws like the ADA have had a positive impact on my life and how much disability representation and media has improved since I was a kid. But, as a wheelchair user, there’s one question I just can’t seem to answer: if we’ve made so much progress, where the _fuck_ is everybody?

You know, I didn't drink any alcohol on NYE but still woke up with what felt like a hangover because I _did_ decide it was a good idea to eat a whole thing of uncured salami and the salt content _wrecked_ me. #NYE

From my post "The Mystique of Disabled Existence":

To able‐bodied people, wheelchair users have a certain mystique. They’re constantly asking us about how our bodies do or don’t work, whether we can have sex, why we haven't just killed ourselves yet.

I'm curious to see what the main differences will be between X and Blue Sky. I'm already feeling like it's better for sharing content that links to sites / platforms that aren't Blue Sky. Nice to post a link to something and have people actually see it.
