Dang, people facing charges for just doing their jobs

I swear I saw an article on there last month on how to implement the newly invented self-care strategy of being outside

Every time I hear someone say "hate AI all you want, it's not going anywhere" I want to tell them to enjoy wasting resources to lose their skills for crappy stolen output, and then punch them

More badly made slow-motion crap, can't wait

A New, Highly Mutated COVID Variant Called 'Cicada' Is Spreading in the US. Know These Symptoms The heavily mutated new BA.3.2 COVID-19 variant, aka "cicada," is circulating in at least 25 U.S. states, the CDC said. What to know about its spread and symptoms.

No matter how much Covid mutates or what variant is prevalent…. Respirators will still work!

A good quality mask like an N95 gives you excellent protection against airborne viruses like Covid.

It’s never too late to mask up.

Every infection delayed or prevented is a win.

"A Clockwork Orange" at maybe 12-13.

My English teacher had it in her room. I asked her if I could borrow it after reading a few pages, and she screamed at me and took it away.

She swore she had no idea how it got there.

So, of course, I got VERY curious and got it from the library.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

No, because we’ve gotten to this place where everything needs to be explained or include extensive backstory which has made a money grab for studios and a crutch for the human imagination. People need to be comfortable with endings again. Sitting and chewing on the what if of a thing.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This will go down in history with My Lai, Kent State, and Czechoslovakia 1968.

Killing little girls at a school in our name. What a dirty and war criminal government we have. They must face consequences. We must work to make them face consequences.

I just sent $20 to Ian to help this family. I'd like you to chip in a few bucks if you can too.

They found him. He died.

Another murder by our immigration goon squads

My most crackpot belief right now is that AI-driven social media pages/accts are being used to play communities against each other, to try to get caring people to waste energy that would otherwise go toward building solidarity and hoisting out predators

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

This is Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been imprisoned by ICE for a year.

He was about to get new prosthetic legs when he was kidnapped… and they won’t let him have them.

His health is declining & there’s been almost no media coverage.

No protests. No noise.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

Yeah man, it’s called anything that can be useful and make my bills go down instead of a thing that can’t do anything without my help and doubles my electricity bill

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

ICE Arrests Transplant Patient and Cuts Off Life-Saving Meds The 38-year-old hasn’t had his kidney transplant medication since he was detained on Thursday.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023.

He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours.

They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds.

Without them, he will lose the organ.

This is how people die.

It's hard being the AuDHD friend of board game people.

They love these elaborate games to take hours to set up, full of confusing and unclear rules and every time I want so badly to go home before the game is really even underway.

Fun does not have this many boring steps in my world.

Ever???

(I'm not here to talk about whether her plays are or are not really very feminist, whether she's too rich, or whatever other layers you might add. I can't speak to all that. Just, look at who it hurts and how it hurts, and who it doesn't and how it doesn't.)

I'm just saying it's interesting.

Of course, follow the truth where it leads, no matter who, etc. I'm just saying it's interesting that a feminist playwright's career may end, while doing all that damage and controversy in D-leaning communities across the US, while suspect number one obviously, *obviously* faces no repercussions.

I'm just saying, if someone wanted a grocery-store-level precision strike at liberal America, one where people will hurt each other with the best intentions and expend their energy preserving as much of what they love as they can, this playwright was as good a target as they could pick.

Half say: We don't do guilt by association.
The other half say: but fucking what about THAT association?

And this conversation will flow to every one of those spaces I mentioned. It's going to get awkward and not fun. Many will make a decision that will hurt their relationships.

And now, while the country resists a wave of brutality under the worst hypocrite any of us has ever seen -- who is himself the most-mentioned person in said files -- those theatres have to make a decision about where they are on one of the most-produced playwrights in the country.
