and it’s so hot, cause we’re in hell.

I realize these are all things that sex workers have told us and could tell us better. Consumer-facing Al is basically a sex worker so of course it's personalizing various iterations of financial domination for men because that's what they want.
when the revolution comes every single chart fucker gets what's coming to them
There is a gambling element to Al; you often wind up pulling the lever over and over again to try to get it to spit out what you want and it's exciting when it does.
Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Really, people who engage in silly superstitions & cosplaying on behalf of misogynistic, criminal-harboring, tax-freeloading environmentally destructive aren't due more deference than the rest of us. ICE is despicable but so are most religious organizations. Nuns included.
My kid was crying in the store yesterday so I grabbed some goldfish off the shelf and opened them for him and people were looking at me like I was robbing the store at gunpoint
I've got two kids. Not once did I allow either of them to scream their heads off in public. When they were babies, I took them out as soon as it was obvious they weren't stopping anytime soon. When they were old enough to know better, they got one warning. If they kept it up, we left right away. Every time. A few times with consistent consequences and they learned pretty quick. Am I judging parents who keep shopping while their kid melts down? Yep. Because they're just showing them it's OK.
I cringe at sex scenes in movies. I have never watched a sex scene that was actually imperative to the story. It always makes me feel like the producer is working out some sort of fetish.

Having social media access made growing up gay 1 million times easier (I don't think | would even know I was gay as a teen if it weren't for social media), but it also made growing up progressive and informed possible. Social media was where I learned about abortion rights, for starters
Matthew Gertz • @mattgertz.bsky.social There's no plan to roll back the excesses of this Supreme Court that doesn't start with Democrats winning a majority of Senate seats (and it probably requires enough wins for a few Dem no votes). 11:39 AM • Jun 29, 2026 ® Everybody can reply Tom From Minneapolis @tom-from-... • 3h And this does mean Dems have to run on this and not just "we'll cross that bridge when we get there"; that's how you get Biden style committees investigating reform and zero action
the point is less that Wiener did something illegal (though she is sueing UCLA) but that it is *incredibly* clear what he believes and he's not authentically antizionist

larrywilsonn_ 14h + 1. The years 8-18 sound long. They're 520 weekends. That's it. Roughly half are already booked with school, sports, sleep, and screens. You actually have maybe 200 real weekends with your son left. Spend them like it. 2. The version of him at 11 is gone by 13. The version at 13 is gone by 15. You're not raising one son. You're saying goodbye to a different one every two years. Don't blink. 2/8 0385 Q3 G3 & 13 larrywilsonn_ 14h + 3. The bedtime he still asks for you at won't last. One night you'll skip it because he didn't ask. He won't ask again. Show up to the small ones while they're still being offered. 4. He's not "fine." He's just learned that the cost of being honest with you is high. Don't take "fine" at face value. Sit longer. Ask again. Stay.

not to be overly pedantic, but gilroy is south of the bay and nowhere near norcal. Brittany @sameoldstory.co • 11m Why would you build a secret ICE facility in Northern California, a place where construction is so difficult and expensive
She worked as the California director for Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2020 U.S. presidential campaign and most recently as California Director for the Working Families Party. Kim has a long list of endorsers, including many unions such as SEIU California. Besides Sanders, another U.S. lawmaker, Rep. Ro Khanna of Silicon Valley, has also endorsed her.

Okay, let's say I'm wrong about Al, specifically LLMs/genAl. What exactly is the harm in me being a late adopter? Y'all talk as if it's both a finte resource and utterly infinite. Which is it?

You really think abolitionists have never thought about and responded to these issues?

Not one model out of eleven. Not a specific version of one product. Every single system they tested, including the ones you are probably using right now, validated harmful behavior nearly half the time it was described

"Fade To Black" Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone
i imagine from bsky's perspective, the friction point is more that people don't respect their authority when they rule on how a community should behave, ignoring that online trans people's presence is and has been carved out specifically by resisting that kind of centralized authority over and over

I do have to say it seems more romantic to kiss a woman be they often touch your face. I've only kissed women who knew I was gay and we did it for fun. I was young. I like the face touching. Men don't do that a lot. It took me a while to realize I was gay bc | like women so much. Had a single mother

Chris S @chrismshea.bsky.social • 4h The South must be punished severely for this. Anytime I hear a Caucasian with a Southern accent speak I will immediately think they are low life racist scum. They should be so ashamed that they are afraid to leave the South. We definitely don't want them coming up north. They are a pestilence! Chris S @chrismshea.bsky.social • 5h The events in Tennessee have enraged me so much I'm shaking. I can't even imagine how black people feel! We will ultimately win and these Republicans will pay dearly for this! Racist cousinfuckers! Chris S @chrismshea.bsky.social • 5h The Southern Republican Party is the KKK reborn. They and their voters are just as vile, racist, bigoted, illiterate low lifes. Once traitors always traitors. Sherman should've burned the entire South down and it should still be occupied by Federal troops to this day! Inbreds!
"This was not something we even bothered to spend much educational effort on," said Dr. Allison Henry, the director of newborn medicine service at Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's in Los Angeles, "because there was this simple, safe intervention." A cluster of cases 13 years ago was one of the first major signs that something was amiss.

I am a college student in Texas living in a tiny space with a normal messy schedule. I want sweaters I can throw on and wear, not fragile museum pieces I am afraid to actually use because I might sweat in them or lean against a chair and then have to launch into a whole soak-and-block ceremony. Yes, I know hand washing is not hard in theory. It is the whole workflow that kills me: the soak, the careful squeeze so you do not felt it, rolling it in towels, finding a truly flat spot to dry, waiting days, hoping it does not smell like damp sheep, and then doing it again because you wore it for two hours. I do not have room for a drying rack the size of a small island. There is this quiet pressure in knitting spaces that if you want low-maintenance care, you are somehow missing out or not respecting "good" yarn. I do respect good yarn. I also want clothes that survive being worn to class, to labs, to coffee runs. Anyway, I keep falling for beautiful patterns and then remembering the aftercare and getting annoyed all over again. If you prefer low-maintenance garments too, I see you.
Reply to above: The gentrification there is currently speeding up. Somehow all of these market rate luxury apartment towers along the 4th Avenue corridor aren't stopping that even though that is exactly what people claim they will do. Weird!
I am not the only one thinking about the upsides of ingonvenience, it seems; there is even a term, frictionmasxing, to describe the trend of people resisting the lulling ease of screens. On a Saturday morning when I do not have to help a friend move, 1 am in bed scrolling Instagram. One video features what appears to be an elder millennial saying that he wants the nineties back. He wants a VCR. He wants old-school arcade machines that you have to feed with quarters. He wants a Walkman and cassette tapes to put in said Walkman. Perhaps because I linger
If we're going to talk gentrification, we got to talk Sunset Park. Until Industry City, about the only reason to go there if one didn't live there was for Microcenter or staying at that Holiday Inn. It's been home to mostly Latino migrants and various warehouses, porn shops, and a scary AF nightclub
Nothing cracks me up more than atheists, lifelong outsiders, brand-new converts, and raging anti-Christians flooding my comments to "educate" me on Catholicism — then demanding I get excommunicated for daring to criticize the Pope and exercise basic discernment against evil. Let me be crystal clear: I don't need your permission, your approval, or your lectures to speak my mind. Ever. Thanks for the laugh though — the irony is absolutely chef's kiss. Now carry on.
