Re: the ed Sheeran thing. Even if you don’t support palestine (i do) this is now a freedom of speech issue. Musicians kinda care about that!! Also goes to show when we let people take other’s rights away, it’s just a matter of time til they come for ours. Well done artists! Keep speaking out and up

Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han is a great read
Jiikae@jiikae.com · 2w agoI feel like the number one skill you can have as a creator in 2026 is the ability to aggressively avoid burnout Burnout is the main trap that seems to mess up all of my peers no matter how much I try to warn them. And most of them never bounce back from it.
Happy Labor Day! We’re out in Nashville to remind everyone that Starbucks has become the poster child for corporate greed. If you support workers, it’s time to BOYCOTT STARBUCKS until they stop stonewalling the over 12,000 union baristas fighting for a fair contract!

I don’t agree with the claim “trans rights are ai rights” because they are different, but I agree with the premise that if people held the stance that more rights for more beings and entities is usually good that THAT would benefit trans activists and every other oppressed group of people
Erica Windisch@ewindisch.ontological.observer · 2w agoMachine 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.

To answer this (admittedly rhetorical) question: It’s easy to be unified in opposition of anything good ever happening. But to solve complex problems? People are going to disagree on method and priority. So, there’s one easy way to be wrong and hundreds of uncertain, controversial ways to be right

A glacier collapses in Nepal. Villages disappear. Hundreds are dead. More are missing. Somewhere else it's fires. Somewhere else drought. Somewhere else floods. And every time we treat it as another isolated disaster. Climate collapse isn't coming. We're living through the fucking thing.
it is in fact just the media, which has devoted more attention to this than it has to the fact that multiple republican lawmakers are dealing with “we hired nazis” scandals and that the “we hired nazis” problem extends to the white house

www.yahoo.com/news/politic... We let children play co-ed sports in this country. We have girls who wrestled boys. Girls who played football with boys. The trans debate in sports is the most pointless debate we've had and one that has caused real harm. Democrats, stop trying to meet MAGA halfway.
