No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Just finished recording our final session of Paragons for @thequeerxp.bsky.social with: @yaboixmarty.bsky.social @ashtynbrianne.bsky.social @bruthaqueon.bsky.social @darachbeo.bsky.social @christheechampion.blacksky.app Y'all are in for a TREAT come November when this drops!

I just had labs done yesterday and the results just came back. Since switching, my levels that the doc was concerned about are, direct quote, "dramatically better." So fuck whichever insurance suits were trying to deny the medication.

I took a whole ass month to get this approval. I just got notice of the approval today, so here’s hoping the switch helps out

Hi everyone - we have a new statement about an agreement with Paizo for moving forward. You can read it here: archivesofnethys.com/movingforwar...

Bizarre

it is actually so funny to me that, even a couple years after the change, links to the (former) bid site still have "(formerly twitter)" on them

i think my least favorite thing about my apartment is that the room my workspace is in is the only one without AC and it is in the mid 90's (about 35 C) so i am working from a slow cooker every day until that Stops.

Doctor wants me to switch to yetzugo (6-month injection) for PrEP since both truvada and descovy are processed in the liver and I just got diagnosed with severe liver fibrosis, but insurance doesn't wanna cover it and it costs $20k without insurance. Happy pride, I guess.

Sounds like AI is a huge liability and billionaires are mega-crybaby about it as per. "established studios with a positive track record see a "catastrophic" 40% to 60% drop in sales when they use AI"

I hit some new PRs today 🤓💪

If a company can’t even be bothered to put in the effort to make a legit ad for their product and use AI to do it instead, why would I believe they actually care enough to make a decent product?

Bottom line the media wants everyone to know is that being a trans girl is a death sentence

Rose Schmits@roseschmits.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The media loves the tale of Brianna Ghey who tragically killed herself due to the pernicious influence of social media and transgender, except for the fact she was murdered by transphobes in a park, but she was out and about as a trans girl, so basically She got herself killed whats the diff

Folks over on Meta telling new creators not to worry about the quality of their games, but to focus on marketing & funding. As someone focused on marketing & funding, let me tell you that is infinitely easier with a quality game. Also, what a weird way to tell people your games are shit.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Niantic needs to be sued into oblivion. If neither GameFreak or @nintendousa.bsky.social do something about this? I will assume they are complicit and openly boycott any and all future products from them.

It is morally bad and ableist to intentionally conflate accessibility with simplistic writing.

There is a problem with the stories we tell & the way we perceive how change happens. The Union of Pinnacle Tenants, the largest tenant-led union in NYC—are the reason Mamdani took action. Organized people power is pivotal. Top down stories of elected heroes (even ones we like) are not sufficient.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In January, Zohran Mamdani took action against bankrupt landlord Pinnacle, which was responsible for over 5,000 housing violations. Thanks to his intervention, Pinnacle's new owners have forgiven millions in tenants' back rent. This is what governing for the people looks like.

Hey! I don't know her but she's native and therefore a Cousin and most importantly *what happened and is happening to her is really really fucked up and she needs help*

Ríhanna doesn't have an official legal defense fund because multiple crowdfunding websites have shut down her campaigns. please donate to her directly and send her well-wishes on Facebook. Venmo: venmo.com/u/Rihanna_Ke... www.facebook.com/share/p/18uT...

worth noting is that the union is not calling for a boycott, which at this stage would presumably do nothing but cause further harm to the folks who work here. also fwiw the folks I spoke to heaped praise on the direct leadership and culture of the Arena team specifically.

Feel as though people will truly never understand his death. He was killed for being an Indigenous Queer Man with a Transgender Partner. Every single one of those signifiers on axis/intersections/marginalizations is extremely important, but it is in tandem all at once not just because he “Gay”.

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa
