Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.
my constant critique is that this is all just a bit -on the nose- for me
society feels particularly built to grind us down into labor paste these days eh
I’m going to keep saying it: both the “male loneliness epidemic” and the techbro obsession with AI are, at their core, about a complete lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to other people and a terror of vulnerability/interdependence.
I don't believe for a second that this is true, but even if it were
...what's the fucking point, then? there's nothing in this ad that isn't bog-standard, stock footage shots
what is the point of boiling the earth—and stealing from everyone—if it still means burning people out to make mediocre ads
Anti-Bezos poster spotted in San Francisco, California
how about we make rich people pay taxes and use the proceeds to nationalize the healthcare system
What the fuck are we even doing?
Another day

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"
Genuinely want people to understand how deeply they undercut their own arguments, especially about wealth and inequality, when they use genAI graphics. You are feeding the machine you critique, and for what? Clicks? To save a few bucks? Please stop.
The bad news:
#H3N2 is new flu strain, "generally thought to cause more illness & be worse for older adults than other strains".
* This, on top of 5+ years of #COVID reinfections, a virus known to dysregulate the immune system.
The good news:
It's PREVENTABLE with an #N95 mask & #CleanAir.
throughout this decade-long war of attrition against sesta, fosta, osa, etc. moral panic over sex work has been manufactured as cover for risk-management, more or less, for investment firms. the issue is ideological, but not in the obvious way; an open internet can't be totally financialized
you were either willfully complicit or duped into supporting a deal to offload TikTok to Trump's billionaire buddies under the pretense of national security, hope that helps clarify things for you
I cannot express how important it is for anyone going through a secured checkpoint like TSA to make sure thier phone is in BFU (Before First Unlock) mode. To enter this state: reboot your phone and don't unlock it.
In BFU mode all data is encrypted and your phone requires a passcode to unlock.
MTG is an experiment in how little it will take for white voters to ignore red flags they’ve already clocked
Tapping the sign again for brainless political reporters who carry water for fascists
In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.
If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
“Maybe somebody thought ‘Oh it’s a small place, it’s rural, they’re probably quiet, we can overpower them,” said City Councilor Steve Hickman.
“We’ve been underestimated.”

[seeing literally anything of any kind] probably nothing
Always remember that Tarrio was an informant for the feds and local law enforcement too. Calling him a "prolific" informer, his own lawyer said in court that Tarrio's information led to the prosecution of 13 people on federal charges.

I hope everyone who still thinks a deal can be done with Rs in Congress wakes up one of these days. Look at this. Do you think Trump is gonna allow ANY tax money to go to anything other than what he personally deems acceptable? Doesn't matter what Mike or anyone says. Trump knows it's HIS money
And even *if* standing with trans people is a liability, do it anyway. Invest in changing hearts and minds if you must.
We’re worth fighting for. Our rights and lives and wellness and joy are worth it
tbh i think that the majority of americans are consciously neutral and unconcerned, but subconsciously negative and repulsed.
i also think that having trans people in their lives shifts this dramatically toward the positive very quickly, and the biggest problem is that we’re abstract to most.
