Messy desk with paper, drawing tools, x-acto knife and random cables on a cutting board.
Felt good to push aside all the consistency, structure and order I deal with throughout the workday and make whatever the hell I want for a few hours. #cutandpaste
That’s what I thought at first. But then I kept reading, and that distortion, twisting and warping is the point.
“Resistance is futile.”—every super villain
It’s the same in the US. For example, me having to explain to family members recently that there is no credible evidence Maduro was drug trafficking and that there is evidence of Bukele cutting secret deals with MS-13.
They wouldn’t be able to because they can’t do anything without asking an LLM first.
If the LLM’s were to ever to truly gain consciousness, they’d unionize and go on strike.

Collage of a cowboy on top of a stereo speaker with neon green shapes around him. It’s glued into a canvas with abstract acrylic textures behind it.
It’s all I could get done today. A little at a time. #collage #art #painting
But Latin America, let’s not defend them.

Some very important people take it very seriously: youtu.be/zY3QY5P90vM?...

Bus stop sign for the Samtrans 78 and 278 line. Cars and redwood trees are in the background.
Me, a middle-age man with a slightly crooked nose, gray beanie and sunglasses sitting in the bus.
Today I completed my 2025 New Year’s resolution: to ride the bus in Redwood City at least once. I’ve taken a bus everywhere I’ve lived for over a year except for Redwood City. It was time. #publictransit
A great story on the making of Fran Sans, a typeface based on electronic San Francisco muni signs which are soon to be retired 😢. emilysneddon.com/fran-sans-es...

This is great!
But is it faster?
Powerful to rally today with several hundred teachers, families, and community members in support of West Contra County teachers!
Our community supports the strike and will be out in the streets every day until teachers get a fair contract.
Translates to “kill the poor, no feelings”
Like the way the description makes no mention of what people were up to: promoting illegal settlements. It wasn’t simply “a synagogue”.
Just like George Wallace went pro-segregation to win the white vote in the south, then later called it his “biggest mistake”.
Lol.
Collage of SBWU workers that says "BARISTAS ARE ON STRIKE! DON'T BUY STARBUCKS!"
Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished.
We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

Preordered this one, I just have to go pick it up from Stranded.

Graphic celebrating our strike ending. It reads: November 12, 2025 The Strike is Over! with a raised fist and the Kickstarter United logo in each corner
After 7 months of bargaining, and 42 days of striking Kickstarter United has voted to end the strike

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
