Turns out poor people spent a lot of money on tea and sugar *because they were poor* and that was their inadequate replacement for unaffordable things like cooking fuel, food with actual nutritional content, and enough calories to slave away over a loom for 12 hours.

I just had a conversation with someone who stated they believe anti-AI sentiment is ā€œlargely manufacturedā€.

I’m still amazed that the brainwashing has worked this well in tech circles.

Meta misled users about its products’ safety, jury decides The jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million in penalties.

Huge result here and the CA jury still deliberating. The idea that social platforms are defective products is going to pick up a lot of steam: www.theverge.com/policy/89991...

I get almost as many comments about how ugly or fat I am on my workout posts as I did on my posts before I started lifting. I’m not asking for sympathy. I just want to remind Black women that the point isn’t if we are pretty or skinny or not. The point is they want us to not exist.šŸ™„

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

I feel like a substantial portion of humanity spends a lot time being afraid of and trying to eliminate the ā€œotherā€.

It’s futile, everyone is different. They’ll never succeed.

ā€œThe party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.ā€

I know we’re tired of hearing this extremely belaboured point, but here we are again, going, ā€œanyone with eyes and ears can tellā€ as if our logic will override right-wing emotions.

Meet The Unconventional Publishers Trying To Unfuck The Games Industry Developers turned publishers like Innersloth and Pocketpair are leveraging their success to help other indie games thrive.

Anyway all of this is endemic of the mode through which we monetize video game development. It's shifted to offloading risk from the wealthy publisher that can afford it (tencent) to the poorer developer that cannot (wildlight)
we don't have to make games like that

Nevermind… I just saw what Carney said about the Iran strikes…

Holy hell is that some of the most tone deaf, horrible takes to have after the killing of innocents…

Not American, but I’m white and Canadian.

You’re not wrong… so many of us perpetuate the cycle.

Hell, I’m probably perpetuating things even when I’m not trying to.

The system is seriously messed up.
