Its not a polling issue its a power issue, not electricity, political. They dont want the tax money flooding rural counties and making them independant of the local landed gentry and all of the anti ai folks are helping local autocrats stay in power. This is why Marx said luddites were reactionary.

Makes me wonder how bad Republicans’ internal polls are in Texas

More than 50 people have died in ICE custody

A 41-year-old man has died in ICE custody. He had not been convicted of any crime.

Angular juxtaposition

This idea, endemic to our culture, that you should settle for/latch on to the first someone who is safe and kind to you is how we end up in bad, controlling relationships instead of becoming a tribe of people who aid each other and extend our family bonds further than just our immediate area.

disgusting and expected behavior from the fash and liberals in our state - something something something scratch a lib and a fash bleeds

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Endless cycle

Alita bra strap m... nevermind.

here we are coldly regarding each other like two ships flying almost the same but slightly different flags white knuckling the helm, unfurled "nine cannons, at the ready, girls!" the sea is still as glass, just bet: and then the moments pass, and yet we're so cordial when we make port.

even more outfits! 💜 #tadc #jax

a large number of people performing random acts of love would change the world forever if we would stop to try it if only for a moment but we want to deny it because we all can't hold it so if we come together we'll build ourselves a tower we'll do it brick by brick we'll smoke weed every hour

Protect queer art

i wish i had someone to share this bed with who was kind and safe, who i trusted, who wanted me to be myself, who doesn't see me as a child or a tool to be used, who doesnt see me as man pretending, who doesnt see a used up whore when they look at me.

i think the North American AAA games industry and all of its offshoots might have a real bad time soon but thats not all of videogames by a longshot

what about all the small indie games that can run on anything??

Grinda 🏳️‍⚧️🔞@grindagoat.bsky.social · 4d ago

people are talkin about video games just straight up dying off because consoles are getting too expensive for the mass market and I just feel like that's an absurd take on an industry w/ so many different avenues of onboarding. Consoles might go away, but games as an industry...?

as an autist with some degree of sensory processing disorder, it's hard not to empathize with the LLM, a pile of math in a box with a similarly-tenuous grasp on a confusing external world

hello friends!! 🖤💛🤍💜🌸🦊 I hope you have a beautiful day!

If the countryside could stop smoking that would be appreciated.

be Ruby: diagnosis of narcolepsy, agoraphobia, ptsd, and failed back surgery. all of those things are real - and we are obviously quite neurodivergent somehow, killing it anyway. I can wander the streets and make friends with strangers. I make a new friend everywhere i go. I'm proud of myself.

I don’t want my innocence back. You can’t restore something taken with so many types of violence. And I quite like who I’ve become— fighting upwards and out of the hole I was left to die in. #Poetry #BlueskyPoetry #MythicPoetry

I'm going to have a blast today writing poetry or something by myself. looking like a snack. for no reason other than that I can. 🩵
