Greg M. Epstein@gregmepstein.bsky.social · 3h agoThis is humanistic political philosophy. Not just because he explicitly reaches out to nonreligious voters, along with Jewish voters and voters of every religion. But because of THIS ideal: "What would we build -- what would we do -- if we treated all of our kids like they were *all* of our kids."

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️
Stop saying "log into a portal." Sounds way too cool for what's happening.

Ralph Bakshi's gorgeous, rotoscoped, and incredibly dark animated version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS (1978) was, at times, like a nightmare to my 9 year-old self. I had particular problems with the creepy Nazgûl, especially during this famous scene...

I know there's going to be a mixed response to this but there's only one week - until August 4th - left to leave a comment about the ATF's change to background check forms that would de facto single out and ban trans people from legally buying firearms.

A Modest Proposal for Funding Transit Instead of AI
In the ’60s, the Bay Area almost got a high-speed train from Marin to San Jose. What could happen if we dreamed big again?

I waited to read this one cause I knew it would hit hard. And yup, it did. And with a renewed sense of pettiness, I guess I'll live another day. Just to spite the fuckers who would rather see me dead.

Fwiw (which is not much) I have two poetry zines coming out in the fall. One is called Transition and it's about ... a lot of things. The other one is probably the one you want -- it's called Puppy Cereal and it's poetry about dogs. Subscribe to learn more ... ? I think ... ???
Ursula K Le Guin fan girl account@lizzz.bsky.social · 2mo agoI guess ummm ... I have a newsletter. It's not on substack so you can subscribe with a clear conscience. It's mostly poetry and cool electronic music mixes. Here you go: buttondown.com/left.to.lose

I think "AI" plumpers should be happy I'm focusing mostly on the nonsense it's doing to my field, rather than how it's very clearly designed as a tool for the capture of wealth and capital by a bunch of accelerationist weirdos enthusiastically huffing their own farts from the depth of their K-holes

Oh yeah "total lethality" from folks apparently scared of seeing trans people. These people are such stupid pathetic monsters.

Today in @minnesotareformer.com: the story of Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano, whose violent arrest by Border Patrol agents at a St. Paul Speedway went viral in the early weeks of Operation Metro Surge. You may have seen the video of him losing consciousness — and his breath seeming to stop.

Seattle has its own vigilante group that will help you recover your stolen bike and I promise they were 100x more effective than the police and also sometimes the head lady tells you about her farm.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4d agoThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

“AI is the asbestos we're shoveling into the walls of our technological society…. Our descendants will spend *generations* digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage.”
