The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
had to get it out of my head
Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.
For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!
Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.
really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
Why @why.bsky.team Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast
in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

It's Sex Worker Rights day.
Twitch only exists because of the success of its NSFW counterparts.
If we had listened to SWs over a decade ago as they were being silenced and deplatformed, we could have stopped the wave of ID Laws for "adult" spaces now.
Support Sex Workers. Listen to them!!
I think about this post a lot.
r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.
lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz).
They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:

I'm never 100% sure something is true until these people deny it.
"Part of the reason I made a hard leftwing turn was because I was burned by my own techno-optimism. I am part of a generation that believed it could change the world, and then was taught a harsh lesson about money and power."
The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited
I keep getting people trying to tell me that Gen ai is socialist 💀 because it’s open source, Gen ai is already siphoning billions from social welfare into a slop machine destroying millions of jobs. You wanting to make memes isn’t as important as funding healthcare idk why I need to say this.
Happening now: Candlelight vigil for Alex Pretti in Eugene, organized by healthcare workers of Oregon. Alex was murdered by ICE
If ICE is also tapping into Blink cameras I hope they enjoy watching my cat take a dumb and sometimes miss the litterbox when he pisses
At this rate, he'll have to release the Epstein files to get people to stop talking about Minnesota.
I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
The response from Trump regime ICE officers to people who gathered after the Alex Pretti murder was: "Boo hoo." as they mocked the victim and witnesses. The officers were also seen smiling and clapping after the murder. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Alberta what the fuck are you doing? Is this shitshow the future you want for yourselves? #cdnpoli #yegpoli #abpoli #ableg
So, you can carry firearm across state lines to a protest and if you shoot two people Kash Patel will advise you to sue the media and the Biden Administration. If you are in your home state and never draw your gun, and get shot by ICE Kash Patel says its "illegal" to carry a gun to a protest. 🙄

Nurses are pissed.
This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.
This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
Note that Bovino doesn’t say the agents are no longer with Homeland Security.
That’s because they have been removed from the jurisdiction as part of a criminal coverup, not as punishment.

fanfiction is free, yes, but so are kudos and comments! life is an expensive, depressing slog sometimes; leave a little digital trinket in exchange for the word food people offer you.
