i should make this official: Piètre is on a short hiatus. starting a new full-time job makes it difficult to do three to five hours of additional on-camera work twice a week. but once i have settled into the job, i fully intend to come back to it, there's still so much to do!
Antoine Leblanc@nicuveo.gay · last yr.new project, starting next week!
Kind of at the worst time too because it’s adding on top of that the cognitive damage repeated Covid infections is doing that everyone is also ignoring is a problem.
several studies that go into how fast/severe your brain atrophies even with short term use makes me think a lot of people will be severely fucked in the coming decades

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
This has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.

Not a big fan of the "sick, elderly and/or disabled people don't count" discourse that appears to follow public health disasters these days.

What people using AI crave at root is an end to the uncertainty of human interaction and connection and its replacement with endless hollow affirmation and instant gratification. They should be pitied but never enabled or excused.
Love drone footage of new builds in exurban Texas, gives me a very particular kind of dread to look at that is hard to replicate with other photos.
If you're scared about being the only person wearing a mask, I can tell you that most people do not care. I've been masking for the past 6 years. I've travelled to several different countries in that time. I've never had Covid and I've endured a handful of snarky comments at most. Be brave.
Ward Q. Normal (he/him)@wardqnormal.bsky.social · 3d agoIf you haven't been masking, give it a try. What do you have to lose? Just wear one in crowds and on planes, trains, and buses. Find a style that fits, so you don't futz with it. You don't have to get sick all the time.
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
so much this. it's infuriating that the job of educating medical staff falls on vulnerable people.
Chantzy@chantzy.bsky.social · 3d agoIf we care about disability justice, one of the lowest-hanging fruits is masks in healthcare. It remains unacceptable that vulnerable patients must ask, sometimes beg, healthcare workers to mask, while also explaining to them why respirator masks are better

Oh no. Exactly what everyone who knows literally *anything* about it said would happen did in fact happen. Wow. So now all the other know nothings in other governments around the world who are planning on giving away everyone's privacy will stop and think for a single second, right? Right??
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 3d agoAustralia’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.

It's hard to articulate the change in the trans community over the last few years. Before it was like "Man, this is hard, there's so much ignorance out there, but we're making it work, we're making it better, it won't be like this forever. Now it's like "Oh, they want us dead."
today is the last day of #DisabilityPrideMonth. if my autoimmune self can ask anything of you, reader—especially if: you are able bodied; you see yourself as caring for disabled rights—is to familiarize yourself w the disability advocacy that’s been happening these pandemic years, indeed, right now.

If you still don't understand that the entire AI project is operated by and for fascists, pull your head out of your ass. These people are not subtle.
Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x
“Gender-critical” transphobia is fascism. Transphobes don’t want to “protect women & children”, they just hate trans people. There are no “gender-critical beliefs” just hatred. They are just a rhetorical cover for hate. They are certainly not in any way “worthy of respect” in a democratic society.
Bruno J. Navarro@brunojnavarro.bsky.social · 5d agoA far-right thug who performed Nazi salutes at a "protect women and children protest" has been exposed as a serial stalker and abuser.
The highly compunctious US soldiers, who totally didn't sign up to kill brown people, will start disobeying these orders any time now.
"yeah i just ask chatgpt and-" cool i no longer take you seriously as a person
There is no good faith position on being against trans people participating in sports, there's only bad faith people and the dipshits that fall for it.
The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.
hammancheez@hammancheez.bsky.social · 5d agoParty that spent the last decade grooming and funding and encouraging blind nazi ideologues to run for office and government positions : uh oh
if i could press a button and destroy every llm i would never stop pressing. I'd press it between bites of food.
