i had a dream i deleted bluesky and i think it might be an omen

I don’t want 99% of the “advancements” being forced on and/or sold to me.

I want clean air, clean water, and a stable ecosystem and planet. I want free healthcare and education. I want justice and collective liberation.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

the “this is who [runs this account/business/etc]” trend having thousands of people publicly post photos of themselves as children, in the wake of The Files & AI-generated images, rings such alarm bells for me.

stop posting kids publicly on the internet, even if that kid was you. i beg.

They have it doing war crimes now. But yeah, very cool that you're doing more commits per week

But yeah it's cool that it makes your coding job easier and I guess you can have little blade runner talks with it

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

American Jews have been TRYING to tell folks that yes, AIPAC is evil, & fuck them, but Christian Zionists in the US outnumber Jews IN THE WORLD & have risen to power in all areas of our government, & they want to bring the End Times (& kill all the Jews btw), AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

sometimes a coworker will drop offhand a piece of lore that feels like finding an audio log in a survival horror game

all palestinians are hamas. all iranians are irgc. all israelis are settler-colonists. all jews are zionists. every civilian we kill is a legitimate target. the new normal.

Two 11-month-old polar bear cubs nestle into the soft fur of their mom's side as she looks on, sheltering them from the falling snow. They're sitting on a frozen lake near a bank of bare willows.

A polar bear mom and her 23-month-old cub look on curiously from where they stand among rocks and snow in a dry lake bed.

It's #InternationalPolarBearDay.
It's getting close to the time when moms will be emerging from their dens with new cubs. Cubs stay with mom for 2.5 years facing many threats and challenges. Their biggest threat, however, is shorter sea ice seasons meaning less access to food. #mammals 🌿

Two colour illustration of Barad Dûr, with Sauron's eye at the top. surrounded with the ring inscription in elvish. the sky is red with sparks and ash floating in the air, the tower is above a fiery chasm. The front doors are glowing red with silhouettes of chains and armouries. A cloud of ash conceals the horizon. This will be a banner and riso print first. Digital prints coming later this year.

Halo: Reach FIRST PLAYTHROUGH highlights - part one YouTube video by Lilija

i dont spend a lot of editing time on actual video edits, its mostly jump cuts and then hours upon hours of transcribing captions, which doesnt make for very impressive videos but i hope the captions are appreciated. that being said, my newest silly little video is out 🥹 youtu.be/1w3T5N8PeRU

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

I keep thinking that someday I will become used to the hideousness of cybertrucks and they will finally blend into the background and every time I see one I am struck anew by how awful they are

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

The wellness to eugenics to fascism pipeline is well documented.

It’s why disabled people beg you to stop treating us as expendable.

Health supremacy devalues other human beings.

It leads to deciding some lives are “worth” more than others.

It paves the way for atrocities.

If videogame graphics have reached its visual peak and companies' CEOs never stop whining about expansive it is to make high-fidelity graphics anyway, there's no reason for new hardware to keep coming so quickly other than to squeeze more money and gatekeep players

This is the same dude who brought on multiple EMEA, LATAM, and APAC devs for a team to "push the industry forward" then quietly shuttered it when they wanted some recognition of humanity, only for us all to find out he didn't even provide them decent seats any years at all.

Do y'all remember how when the first massive wave of layoffs hit, he refused to even discuss it, and to get him to even MENTION it the following year we had to all collectively get up in his ass that "hey over 25,000 people have been laid off, you're the face? Of gaming? Somehow?"
