oh hello Don't follow back, I'm not that interesting instagram.com/roupine
I got put onto an "Anti-AI" list lol Oh no!
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · 4d agoOne of the (many) reasons I think people are so anti-AI is that it’s a gratuitous display of wealth inequality. The average person’s life is difficult, expensive, and getting any kind of loan sucks - unless you’re raising billions of dollars to build an AI data center.
95% of my communications from the Democratic Party look like this. I have never in my life signed up to be texted by a campaign or the party, and I spent fruitless months attempting to unsubscribe from these. These are functionally identical to scam texts.
There's nothing to "join" in the Democratic Party. It's a brand with products I spend my vote on once a year at the democracy store. Most people's experience of it is an endless stream of texts that read like scams, their reward for donating or signing a petition. No wonder DSA is growing
Omar Wasow@owasow.bsky.social · 2w agoWhy has DSA grown? One argument from this research: not just ideology, but organization. Strong membership plus ongoing and continuous participation in social movements creates credibility, committed volunteers, political skills, and durable electoral capacity. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...
If Democrats are afraid of the DSA ruining their electoral chances maybe the Democrats should stop sucking shit. Look inward.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
over the course of my life i've heard many many people say "it's too bad hitler didn't find success as an artist, maybe this could have all been avoided" and rowling really gives the lie to that
s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 3w agoThe fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.
Rewatching stand alone complex until the next episode comes out
Happy The Ghost in the Shell Day for those who celebrate
It's been over six months since I switch-swapped to Linux, with no need or desire to go back. Do I cleanse my Windows SSD and convert it to storage? Should I mount it as /home? Hmm
The fuck is QMK/VIA I just want the lights to turn off
If you are upset about the election results tonight in NY I just want you to know that I find that very funny
if you've ever been confused by this statement, please note the democratic establishment's reaction to tonight's NYC election results
Having Zenos laugh anytime I die or get a vuln stack is my new favorite thing. Or when I'm mid-pull and he yells "MORE." Raidwide/TB going out: "have you the strength?" I only need TGC to do his "the gods will not be watching" line when a limit break goes off

Is there a substance similar enough to caffeine to get my brain to pay attention but won't explode my heart out of my chest
The dwarf fortress soundtracks are so nice when you need to lock the fuck in
FFXIV turning dungeon loot into collectables has unlocked a sickness within me
If I were the opposition party I'd be saying anyone involved in creating this corrupt scheme will be prosecuted but also anyone accepting payments from it will at minimum be required to pay back the full sum with interest
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 3mo agoAnd there it is, folks. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...
Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 3mo agoPeople here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.
"There's nothing a Democrat can say that will convince you to vote for them" Yeah, you're right. There *is* nothing they can say anymore. There's plenty they could *do*, though.
Apparently there's a spot on my dash specifically for sticking magnets to (said magnet being from @dresdencodak.com )
Surely if I tell a car dealership, "let's work out a price and get a purchase agreement so my bank will cut me a check and I can show up to your lot, hand it to you, and drive off with this car" that's an easy sell, right?
