idk if this is how its supposed to work??

I have been online and arguing about politics for nearly twenty five years and not once have I ever seen anyone respond to vote scolding with anything but "fuck you"

if you want to be mad at people for not voting, sure, knock yourself out

if you want them to vote next time, try a different tactic

Of course a scientifically dubious claim is going to be backed up by an AI slop video...

you'd have to be this young and dumb to think you could beat a handsome Australian man in a contest of expressing snide confidence

The editors of Wired (@wired.com) appear determined to turn an article about GrapheneOS into a hit piece. Wired contacted James Donaldson, CEO of Copperhead, and appears to be treating his thoroughly debunked fabrications about the history of the project as their primary source. This is outrageous.

I don't feel any different at 36 than I did at 35, but now I just moved up a demographic category? 😡

I cannot stress enough the benefit of in-person interaction for leftists. Zoom and Signal are no substitute for a happy hour meetup or a hiking group. Get to know people!

If we want to combat the tendency of left groups to split, one thing that helps is camaraderie.

WSLC, AFL-CIO Artificial Intelligence Summit Thank you for your interest in the WSLC AI Summit on April 30, 2026 in Tukwila, WA starting at 9:00 AM. Together, we will dig into what worker centered AI looks like and learn from leaders in our move...

It's in Tukwila, and on a weekday, so you'd have to take a day off of work, unfortunately. But if you're in a union it's a good opportunity to network with other labor people about resisting AI and organize inter-union solidarity.

Everyone should immediately block @attie.ai. Absolutely no AI in my social media feed. Nope.

I've already had concerns about @bsky.app's moderation decisions, now I'm thinking about leaving.

Somebody tell Andy Weir.

The best part about 1917 is SD leaders told women not to turn out for International Women's Day protests in March because it was a lib-coded distraction and they wanted to save their juice for May Day. Instead the women turned out anyway and those protests literally sparked the revolution

Y'know what, I'm still with it

"War don't sex" that's right brother, peace fucks

IDK who designed this, but please, make better signs for the next protest. This is objectively terrible graphic design. We could've had one good sign but instead we got a mishmash of three.

10 or 15 years from now there are going to be a lot of people with major skill deficits because they used generative algorithms to write their essays, or software code.

This reminds me of an exchange between Josh Lyman and another character on the West Wing, where they ask Josh why we don't just pass a law and fix it.

Josh replies that the party wants the issue, because it's good for fundraising.

"We want the issue."

Democratic party leadership in a nutshell.

Turn them off. It's that simple.
