Dropkick Murphys—organized labor’s favorite band—just brought out IUPAT President Jimmy Williams at Power to the People Fest. Big cheer for unions!

“Antisemitism has been weaponized to suppress anti-Zionism” and “Antisemitism is on the rise” are both true “Antisemitism is not systemic” is false and it’s also actual Nazi propaganda

This tracks.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

Hollywood has suffered the most in the AI era—with the movie & TV industry losing more than 100k jobs, nearly one-third of the sector’s total employment, over the last four years. Total employment in video production is approaching the fthe lowest levels in 30 years

just say “groomer school,” this is taking forever

Big names in AI and Silicon Valley tech announced yesterday that they're launching a boarding academy for 16 to 22 year olds. (Would you trust the people in this scene with keeping an eye on minors?) theacademysf.com

Required reading for talking to me about how great AI is.

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

Well that's objectively horrifying.

Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and diner coffee for lunch. Just hitting a big old reset on today.

What the actual?

Claude is not going to get so full of words that it wakes up and becomes god and kill us all, but a bunch of really cognitively lazy foolish humans listening to Claude’s hallucinated bullshit might get us into a war that does that!

Just cleared 9700 miles on my bicycle odometer. Feeling pretty good about that.

I've spent my entire career reporting on the War on Terror. Many this week have asked me for my extended thoughts on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Here they are.

Today We Must Finally Remember What The 9/11 Commemorations Ignore

Righteous victimhood fueled the War on Terror. 25 years later, we also have to remember all of those slain under its banner

Just a reminder, if you don't think trans people deserve equal rights you should lose your genitals to a moose attack.

fucked up that nigel farage is a brexiteer and pro-crypto. makes it hard to criticize him, what with him being eurodivergent and a miner

thank you lesbian tractor witch

I'm sure SFPD's problems with consistent lawbreaking and generalized love of kicking the shit out of the populace can be resolved by giving them more of our money.

Mission Local@missionlocal.org · last mo.

SFPD officers did not issue dispersal orders immediately before arresting 18 people at the “Stud Alley” party over Pride weekend, according to internal police documents and body camera footage. from @frankiesd.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/stud...

When Californians tell you we have no interest whatsoever in Gavin Newsom for president, it's shit like letting school kids roast to give PG&E a fat check.

Leah Stokes@leahstokes.bsky.social · last mo.

Newsom withheld *legislatively appropriated* school AC funds for 2 years. Now he's handing them to a fossil fuel company, the week after half a million kids had their school day changed by extreme heat. If that's not Trumpian, I don't know what is. Shameful. calmatters.org/environment/...

Billy built a robot in his parents' garage. Because he had a list of problems that he needed to solve.

FRIDAY-MORNING CREW These two properly seasoned and mildly weird (i.e., cats) cats STILL don't have a forever home. You—yes, YOU—need two perfectly affectionate cats to spoil. (Please reshare wherever decent humans may be. Office, neighborhood, libraries, EVERYWHERE.)

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

Does anything look better than the band logo on the front of the kick drum blurring out then coming back?

Kinetic energy tracks speed squared. A car doing just 25 in a 20 has 44% more energy than if it were doing 20.

Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · last mo.

This is a related and expanded graphic which emphasizes an important point: Higher speeds reduce your visibility and reaction time, making it more likely you'll hit someone or something, and then when you *do* hit them, it's more likely to be fatal.

Nobody told the cat owls do that #Cats #Caturday #Owls #LifuX

Unless I'm very mistaken, treason charges would get brought in D.C. with a jury of D.C. residents.

A foreign adversary could not have hoped to harm the United States more effectively than Donald Trump’s presidency has.

Hey, what's everyone doing for Bandcamp Friday? I realized I had missed the new @vialband.bsky.social album so picked that up, but I feel like since the other place died all the new album announcements are only on Instagram, which I find unusable. Anyone hearing good new stuff?

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2mo ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

🚨 WE HAVE A DEAL! After three years, in a major step forward for our members, we have ratified our first contract with @propublica.org’s management. We deeply appreciate everyone who supported us along the way. Here are some of our big wins👇

So everything is going great, and we have all of our best and most competent people on it.

"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."

I bought the best tomatoes I could find at the farmers' market this morning. And they're... good. Better than supermarket tomatoes by far, they almost border on tasting like a tomato. And yet.

Y'all, I can't, I just can't. This technology hasn't advanced a lick since the Aibo, and at least that was kind of cute. It will not be ready for prime time in the next decade. If you are invested in this, you are losing that money.
