we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.
Paula Wirth@paulawirth.bsky.social · last wk.Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.
The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

They don’t care about fertility any more than they cared about women’s sports. They want to own women and children as property. The only real fascist goal is domination. They have no other. The rest is just whatever lie they’re currently telling to disguise that fact.
Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · 3w ago1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

We are about to witness a massive hiring surge. All the dipshits who thought algorithims could replace competent, trained workers have performed the fuck around and are now in the find out period. Hopefully some bigger paychecks come out of this AI fuckery. finance.yahoo.com/technology/a...

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 4w agoIn a hearing where residents grilled officials on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed an NDA with any party regarding developments that could affect the town? The majority of the township's officials refused to answer.
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · last mo.‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...
it has unfortunately passed in the House, but there is still time to stop it in the Senate!!!

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.
Aleksandra Vaca@transiticsnews.com · last mo.1. On Tuesday and with Trump's backing, Sticker Mule CEO Anthony Constantino won a competitive New York House primary—and likely a seat in Congress—after running on "aggressively detransitioning America." His extreme rhetoric must be a warning to us all.
they're imprisoning people for decades over a noise demonstration. this isn't getting anywhere near the attention it should be.

White British citizens. Pogrom-style attacks are now happening on monthly basis across the United Kingdom targeting all immigrants. Don't sit this one out in silence, like you did with Brexit. This stuff adversely will impact your jobs and wellbeing and lead to deaths of your innocent neighbours.
Rossa@rossac.bsky.social · 2mo agoBig thanks to the DUP, Reform, Tories etc for stirring this up all day. Thugs are now attacking people's homes in Belfast, wrecking hostels, checking cars at roadblocks for 'immigrants', burning vehicles and generally scaring the shit out of people. Hope you're all proud of yourselves. #Belfast

The UK banning trans women from breast cancer screening gives the game away, they want trans people dead. It's social murder.
Sophie Molly@sophiemolly.co.uk · 2mo ago"Women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormons Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men"

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
![CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)
Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.
Kane: Absolutely not.
For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.
When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)

Hey creatives: Folks will remember. If you were aggressively against AI, like Gutierrez was as recent as last year, and then suddenly turn around and go NO I GET IT NOW IT'S AMAZING as soon as you get a project with a big payday? Your peers will not forget that. You will never be trusted again.

If you live in LA, the most important mayoral election in decades is coming up. thankfully, the best candidate is obvious: It’s Nithya. Vote for Nithya Raman.
Nithya Raman@nithyaforthecity.bsky.social · 3mo agoWhy is Los Angeles spending millions of dollars fighting to block affordable housing during a housing crisis? We have the highest rent burdened population in America, the result of years of decisions motivated by politics rather than the needs of Angelenos. That ends when I’m mayor.
