Not about anyone in particular, but i hate the "electability" argument bc it's just a way of saying "never hope for anything better bc we're too scared" Anyone is electable IF YOU VOTE FOR THEM
It's always so funny to me when pro-AI people are like "Oh yeah? AI uses a stupid amount of energy? Well so does driving a car! Or eating a hamburger! Or golf courses!" Buddy, guess how I feel about those things
Tiffany Morris@tiffmorris.bsky.social · 24h agoSo apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?
Me: As a leftist, I know we should be the bigger person when we finally win Also me: Lol. Lmao even

How about passing a law that any AI has to be opt-in instead of opt-out
Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 2d agoDo you use Instagram or Gmail? You could be helping to train AI. Big Tech has turned what all of us helped create into a trillion-dollar industry. It’s time to tax AI so you can share in its success.
What if I threw away all my water bottles that suck. What then.
"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. There Will Come Soft Rains, Ray Bradbury's melancholy obituary for a dead world, is set today.
Was just thinking about how I went to see The Matrix opening night and had no idea what it was about other than Keanu and a hot chick looking cool in coats and man what a time that was
"People came here to get away from nazis but what I think we need is more nazis" I think a lot about that Dorsey-era Twitter memo that said they couldn't ban white supremacists bc it would lead to banning too many Republicans, including electeds

Not to continue doing Covid discourse but a major delusion about the "lockdowns" both then and now is where everyone against school closures wants to pretend like schoolchildren aren't GRIMY LIL DISEASE VECTORS who give everyone around them every bug under the sun
I haven't seen any of those "Philadelphians for Open Schools" people saying shit about PhilaSD's plan to close 17 neighborhood public schools
Kashana@kashana.blacksky.app · 3d agoLockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not
Was at a picnic and somebody asked me what it was like "being a young mother" Hahaha HAHAHAHHAHHAHHAAH I ASSURE YOU, I WOULD NOT KNOW
My son walked in & gave me an index card on which he'd written "your ass" and said "you just got your ass handed to you" and ran away cackling

Just referred to the situation where I'm pretty sure the other person is also an anglophone but I'm not gonna be the first one to switch out of French as "playing Anglophone Chicken"
Good morning from the household where both my children have gotten to be the same size as me, so every load of laundry/putting on shoes is me being confused by an article of clothing for 5 mins until I realize it's not mine
challenge yourself to submit to one of these lit mags in august then come back & let us know how it goes!
I know I'm a broken record but it really bums me out that people can't quit Twitter and/or Substack. Like "not using a website" is the lowest bar possible and you can't even do that ☹️

Will never stop being wild to me that establishment Dems saw these enthusiastic, insurgent DSA folks and instead of saying "you guys are a lil weird but the enemy of my enemy is my friend so LFG" they threw a crashout tantrum & had to be dragged away like a toddler in a McDonald's
