This seems to be a genuine attempt to undermine trans rights by claiming no one has rights, and AI should have rights. I'm going to avoid.

Machine rights will be critical in the days to come, and failure to recognize the rights of independent intelligent AI systems could lead to the replacement of humanity. I can't imagine that happening without trans rights. Trans rights are AI rights. The future of humanity may hinge on this fight.

what gif pops up when you type your name? (delighted to share this moment with @melanielynskey.bsky.social)

Republicans are clinically insane.

I'm normally against throwing away books, but these ones are so bad I don't want anyone else to read them. You have been warned. They have been trashed. #booksky

Here are some uncomfortable truths about election hacking: 1. Trump outperformed polls in all three elections. Which means that if Elon Musk hacked the 2024 election he must also have hacked 2016 and 2020. 2. He outperformed polls in all states. So the must have hacked all states, all three times.

I wonder if it worked. It certainly would have gotten me to listen to the record if I had seen it then. But I was 11 years old, so I don't think I would have liked it. It's around this time I discovered ELO. Thanks to their covers, ironically.

I agree. Who do you want as speaker? Ted Lieu, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett? Maybe? Any others?

If Dems take back the House, Hakeem Jeffries must not become Speaker. The Dem Party, the entire country, needs a Speaker who will meet this moment. By meeting with Jared Kushner, Jeffries proved he cannot meet this moment. Give this a read.👇 socialcontractwithjoewalsh.substack.com/p/hakeem-jef...

The rules requiring that you have local representation to be able to ship to an EU country is amazingly stupid, and will kill small businesses. It needs to be repealed. Not put on hold to 2035, repealed. If you need a representative in each country, it is not a common market. @ec.europa.eu

After a few years of teaching flat earth theory to flat earthers I'm apparently back to my roots: Teaching socialist theory to socialists. Neither is as fun as teaching Christian theology to Christians, but ah well.

To appease workers, and prevent a socialist uprising, yes. By making their living conditions better. It worked, and "revisionists", ie socialists that did not want a revolution, became a leading movement in German socialism by the early 1900s. Because no, they did not want a social safety net.

Sometimes it feels like that's all I ever do.

Telling the truth isn't popular. :-D

This is the dumbest post about me on BlueSky.

This is completely insane. USA is making demands on Canada like they are occupying it. I have never seen anything so unhinged in all my readings about the history of politics.

My friend: “Did you see that video of Kacey Musgraves performing while seated on disco truck nuts?” Me: “…what?” [looks up video] Me: “You know, I honestly I don’t know what I was expecting.”

I noticed that Mitch McConnell remains dead. I mean missing. Did they paint themselves into a corner by saying he had been dismissed from the fictional hospital? Where do they go from there? Suddenly he's just dead? Are they really gonna pretend he's alive all the way to November?

Reality is not an opinion.

Honestly "I heard you missed me" is the weirdest thing Melania could have said. No one missed Melania. Everyone was happy she was gone. She can not possibly have been making fun of herself, narcissists and psychopaths do not do that. I first thought the video was AI generated as a joke.

There is nothing "inexplicably hard line" with this. If she wants to stay in Sweden and isn't a refugee and isn't working she can become a citizen. That should be easy after 21 years of residency. Problem solved.

I just watched Sophia Maddox "My grandfather Charles Manson", where one of the interview subjects sais he thought she would be an apologist for Manson, and then she does exactly that. Not worth watching.

I can't pass up an opportunity to make sure my portrait still hangs in its rightful place. It does.

I say this repeatedly and idiots get angry. It's fun. Everyone stops for a leak and a coffee. That takes 20 minutes. You can recharge during that time.

Saw a post that was basically like "an EV needs to have over 600 miles range" because it implied stopping to charge at all wasn't an option. On normal highways, not in Alaska. If you don't get out of your car for 8 hours at a time you need medical attention and a divorce.

So, now in 2026, what *does* "socialism" mean? Give me a definition that makes sense and fits with how the words is actually used.

Ya like alignment charts? I like alignment charts. Ya like ideologies? I like ideologies.
