Performative masking is good actually
We need to normalize it in all public spaces. I've never had COVID that I know of and I continue to mask to remind other people that COVID is still a thing and everyone should still be taking precautions and protecting each other.
I looked up "rainbow capitalism" in the dictionary and
In fact, fascists love to break rules and both because it shows how powerful they are. They are proud of it!
What happened to vote blue no matter who? Only applies to candidates you like?
the MSM likes it when the GOP punches Dems in the face and Dems say 'please sir, give me some more.' LOL
The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.
Connecting some dots here: the Associated Press offered buyouts to ~120 US journalists this month, and among the reasons is that McClatchy dropped AP in 2024. This is a piece of what McClatchy is doing instead.
No, but correlation doesn't equal causation. People use recreational drugs and/or are mentally ill all the time and somehow manage not to, you know, plot and carry out making everyone else on the entire planet miserable.
I just watched this wonderful conversation and I feel much smarter about AI. Which is good because the extent to which AI has captured the #NPtech & #IT fields, right when I'm job hunting due to being laid off (bc of AI & fascism), is staggering.

Biden didn't even reverse Trump 1.0 policy and Dems didn't even codify Roe or the ERA when they had power yet every day I have blue wave liberals screeching at me for refusing to vote for people in sham elections who have aleady publicly stated they will destroy my life
funny how y'all have electoralism backwards and expect voters to show up for politicians rather than politicians to create platforms worth supporting
we pay them
our taxes and society support THEM
we owe them nothing
and when our system can't hold anyone accountable for genocide, it has failed
That was my first thought! 😭
There was a point in my leftward drift when I was uncomfortable with ACAB and abolition language due to fear of crime.
Then one day I thought to myself - Hmm.. i've actually been a victim of crime. Once a minor car burglary, once serious sexual assault.
No cop ever did anything useful for me.

Congratulations! NYC delivery workers just opened the nation’s first worker-designed Deliverista Hub — a 24/7 space to support safety and rights. Workers organized, built power, and won.

🧵This is just flat-out wrong.
In our current polarized, partisan politics, who turns out their voters better wins.
Democrats did a SHITTY job of turning out their voters through a series of errors.
Booker here is doubling down on the strategy and tactics that lost 2024. STOP DOING THIS.
When you think about it, border patrol is kinda scuzzy. Seems really hard to envision a benevolent and compassionate force of people monitoring an invisible line that denotes an arbitrary claim to land ownership in an effort to deem some people worthy of crossing that line.
As of 2023, Sherlock Holmes is finally in the public domain in the United States -- which means that Arthur Conan Doyle's heirs and random other rights-holders can no longer insist that the character be free of any trace of homoeroticism.

In a new preprint, the authors identify 124 peer-reviewed papers which used provenance-unknown Kaggle data to train AI for stroke and diabetes risk. Some sets show impossible patterns, yet models of the models are already hitting clinics.

AI 🤝🏻 air pollution
knowledge of harm
does not prevent it
I don't want to be living my life inside these same fucking walls for what feels like the millionth year but everyone decided that endless mutating COVID variants and being sick all the time is "the new normal" so fuck me and my family I guess!
the capitalists who screech that anticapitalists are "attacking their way of life" are so funny to me because... everyone is miserable
capitalism persists on the mythology that there is no other way
anticapitalism challenges us to understand this is not inevitable and imagine something better
