The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

These people baffle me, I have a stupid corpo day job rn and even still I've never used any of them even once. Don't even know how. Never even opened them! And I've certainly not suffered for their absence!
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
Low on food & essentials. Work requirements for Medicaid kicked also kicked in. Being disabled, I could lose med refill coverage. In all, I need $350 for meds (to be safe) and groceries. ty! <3 Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/erininstereo CashApp: $ErinInStereo Venmo: ErinInStereo (fixed the link) #MutualAid

THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.
Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE
on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
They made the trans woman disappear from this story like it was a magic trick. Incredible work, everybody
Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.
in re Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains" (which, in the original Martian Chronicles, occurs on today's date), I didn't realize the very first published version of the story, in Collier's magazine, was set in April 1985. (the current edition of Martian Chronicles now sets it in 2057).
I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
I’m intrigued by the recent resurgence of the ‘Long Covid is not real’ nonsense we saw back in 20/21. The refusal to learn is one thing, but the dismissal of reality is another. Long Covid is too painful, too common & too present in many people’s lives to be denied. The story is hard to rewrite.
“A fundamental shift is needed in how we approach the development and deployment of AI agents,” argues Meredith Whittaker. “Basic lessons in privacy and digital security are being discarded,” she warns
AI agents are coming for your privacy, warns Meredith Whittaker
The Signal Foundation’s president worries they will also blunt competition and undermine cyber-security

By me at this.weekinsecurity.com: A major online ads company that claims to serve 1.5 billion ads a day was hacked and began serving malware designed to steal a person's crypto. This is the latest perfect example why you should use an ad-blocker.
Online advertising giant Adform was hacked, proving once again why ad blockers are necessary
The hacked digital advertiser was caught serving malicious ads that allowed hackers to steal a victim's cryptocurrency.

YEA IM A BIG FAN OF HOW THEY DID IT
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
More than 80% of kids still using social media despite ban, new eSafety report finds
The report provides more evidence Australia’s world-leading social media ban isn’t going to plan.

Yes, exactly! As a road cyclist with decades of experience who has seen automobiles strike cyclists and cause serious collisions, this is the style of barrier we need in every city. The barriers with the PVC tubes extending upward from the road surface with no raised base (below) is ineffective!
yet another fairweather ally that's shat the bed sheeeeeesh
So why the closed comments and the blocking of many trans women who pointed out that what you said hurt them, Ken? That glibly saying the trans community gave you a pass to financially support an institution complicit in our deaths? It sure feels aligned with their transphobia when you do that, man.
I had the thought, i had to animate it quick #MizlaTechAD Characters- @punkr0xy.bsky.social @spicybara.bsky.social Models- @voxid.bsky.social models.spriters-resource.com
i love my community. even if they test my autism. ( meme edit by @shiftingstar.bsky.social )
The the car behind her started honking, and here's the southie moment: That driver hauls herself out of the car window up to her waist, pivots 180 degrees and yells "SHUT THE FUCK UP ASSHOLE, YEAH YOU, WE WAIT, SHUT UP." Then she turned and gave me the best smile in the whole world. 11/7
Addendum: I also had the very best southie experience last night. I grabbed an empty side street and a couple of women pulled up in a car a few seconds later. I gave them some sort of peace and unity gesture and the driver leaned out and was like "What's this about? Bike lanes?" 8/7
Blocking traffic to help keep folks safe on group rides is called 'corking.' It's usually pretty ordinary and nice, but sometimes it gets spicy. It got spicy at last night's critical mass. 1/?
