The Social Reckoning seems right up my alley, but "written and directed by Aaron Sorkin" gives me serious pause
"Hey you know how for all of history, you've had to fight and bleed and die for every scrap of sustenance from us despite you actually being the ones creating all the value? Well, once we finish this technology meant to replace you, we'll definitely just willingly give you everything" crock of shit

My federal loans are about to jump from $0 to $400 because the old plans are ending and despite saying I could submit current pay info it is forcing me to use most recent IRS data, which would show the middle class job I lost over a year ago. Can't find any mechanism to correct this

POWERFUL CRAB FART🦀@powerful.crabf.art · 3mo agoHad a webserver getting crushed by Claude for some reason. Dug in to the logs and someone made a shitty php hangman game back in 2008, the dipshit computers found it, and were “playing” it 1M+ times a day until I blocked it. The future sucks ass

Modern US conservatism was ushered in by a guy who was at Yale during the first post-GI bill years, wrote about how the school had turned into a godless commie den that was not worth attending, but who then made damn sure his own son went to Yale. This is a defining issue for a lot of the elite
Erin Keane@erinkeane.bsky.social · 7d agoI was raised by a nurse with an associates degree and a steel mill electrician.

SAD season comes earlier every year...it's been dropping below 80F for the first time this year and sunsets are sliiiightly earlier and that's apparently enough for me to fall into full depress nowadays

Just a whole load of horrifying crimes here where we can’t now say “if only the world knew, if only everyone could see”. The world knows very well and anyone who wants to see, can see just fine.
