I want to gently encourage any able-bodied people to keep inviting disabled people to things even if we have had to cancel multiple times in the past.

If you've been feeling like software skills are useless now that AI can generate code, it is imperative that you stop scrolling on Bluesky and watch this video. 😄
My original draft of this video said that AI is useless for learning. Some quick research backed that up, showing that, if anything, it can have a very big negative effect on learning. I did find some cases where it looked like it helped, though, so I dug into what they did differently.

Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.
From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

the major AI labs want a coordinated slow down, so we should give it to them by implementing strict renewable energy demands upon them — it would be a win win for everyone
every major AI lab should be required to use 100% renewable energy, build solar infrastructure, do rigorous environmental impact assessments, and operate at carbon neutral or better
Anthropic Flags Gas Supply as One of Its Biggest Near-Term Risks
The data center buildout could cause a massive increase in gas prices as companies scramble for limited supplies and infrastructure fails to meet demand.

Klimaerwärmung von 3 Grad bedeutet nicht, dass es im Sommer halt etwas wärmer wird. Es bedeutet, dass es auf der Erde vor Hitze unbewohnbar Regionen geben wird, Meeresströmungen zusammenbrechen, ganze Ökosysteme kollabieren und der Mensch seinen Untergang als Spezies besiegelt.

Richtig, Hape. Wir müssen selbst die Brandmauer sein, die wir jetzt gegen den Rechtsextremismus brauchen.
Sozialschmarotzer sind nicht die Armen, die Kranken, die Pflegenden, die Kinder. Es sind dijenigen, die ihren Reichtum aus unserer Gesellschaft ziehen, aber kaum etwas dafür tun.
If you are upset with trans people for our reactions to candidate statements, then I would encourage you to call one of the candidates to complain about the statements. You can still vote for them, but let them know about your displeasure. The base pushing back makes not abstaining easier to swallow
...all the animosity hurled towards trans ppl the last few days is completely misplaced. this is a *cisgender problem*: cis ppl need to decide whether you want us to be part of the anti-MAGA coalition or not. if you do, then call out the Dems pushing us out... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

Lula's win means so much, for rights, geopolitics, the Amazon and climate and more. But it also blocks the US from gaining a new partner in its expanding and unchecked war in Latin america where it has been killing people without charge or public evidence.
Flávio Bolsonaro lost a legitimate election with record participation by millions of votes. In a speech just now, he refuses to recognize the results, calling on his followers to not "give up" on Brazil.
I will not forget that Zuckerberg and Facebook shut down the accounts of the most popular presidential candidate in one of the largest democracies in the world, and he was elected anyway
Matriarch wife liara. We will never know if she gets shepard back or if she had them damn blue kids or see her rack that she inherited from her momma.
I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

shhhh we dont do nuance here. its women are wonderful and men suck, yes all of them.
prompting is hard right? you always say prompting is so hard and complicated and if I do not learn it soon I will be left behind. you should be super proud of that great skill you posses there! you should be wanting to shout it at the top of your lungs from the top of the highest mountain 🧡
yeh tbh if AI is so great you should be proud of it, you should disclose it everywhere and put a bunch of stickers yourself that you used it for your project showing everyone how cool and cutting edge you are, no? like, it's the future right? you love it right??
Lol I'll never understand why these dorks hate the transparency of a label so much. Aren't they proud of it? They keep going on and on about how much they love it so I have to assume they aren't shy. (This is rhetorical, we all know they're desperately clinging to the masquerade of competence.)

Went ahead and confirmed with an onlyfans link. Looks like Bluesky decided sex work isn't something they want seen now that they have a user base. SW and furries were a lot of the early user base because they weren't censored. Now they aren't appropriate for bsky's ai bro culture goals.
wait what fansly is blocked on bluesky?
