frankly, it still seems like the only job AI replaces is idea guys who don't know how to make things and the investor class is just frothing at the mouth for it because they're all idea guys who don't know how to make things.

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.

Finished Baker Thief by @clh2oars.bsky.social and now reading its sequel (out sooon!) and I SO wish I had these as a teen. Would have been a big lightbulb moment re being aroace + gender stuff. Especially Claude talking about being aro was like looking in the mirror, damn 🥹😍

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

Transphobia is a load-bearing pillar of fascism, because the truth and freedom that transness represents are incompatible with fascism. Every trans person who comes out despite the horrors is another crack in that pillar. Every ally who vociferously defends trans people cracks the pillar.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;
most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!
well, we do. so fuck off.
