If enough dems win tonight we might finally get the senate parlimentarian in the spotlight again
reminder: physical polling places are an intentional form of voter suppression. go vote, even when it sucks absolute ass and costs you time, gasoline, wages, etc - then keep that experience in mind and look into local grassroots efforts to expand voting access, with vote-by-mail as your end goal
I feel like the last decade has been the complete tearing down of all belief systems & all narratives that gave us purpose and were just in the rubble responding to emails & making to do lists endless grief for whatever the fuck is going on
Brenda Romero@brendaromero.bsky.social · last wk.Her use of the word “grief” and “grieving” gave a proper name to how I feel about the state of game development. So many people without jobs, the market flooded with CVs, people in the US worried sick about health care and taking any job at all just to keep that going. Anyone else feeling this way?
"the moment you compromise the rights of a trans person in America, you compromise the rights of every citizen in America" - AOC quite healing to hear a single politician actually articulate this basic basic point
More Perfect University@mpuniversity.bsky.social · 2w agoTrans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.
Another way of saying this is there was no productivity gains, introducing LLMs just changed the "recipe" for producing code of the expected quality.
Butlerian Jihadist of House Dornick@shimminykricket.blacksky.app · 4w agoBasically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.
it turns out you can just take adult swimming classes. guess who is learning how to do a proper backstroke \o/
the much more disturbing "reverse pagliacci" where a clown tells you you should go see a doctor
turns out that tennis (w/a hangover), weightlifting, a blood draw and COVID + flu vaccines (w/a needle phobia), work/financial stress, and a few kinds of sadness rooted in a pervasive sense of alienation can, in fact, make you feel physically and mentally awful everything hurts and I'm going to bed
saw the Odyssey last night, here's my review: it was very pretty in many places, we finally got our portentous Zendaya x Matt Damon in Situations™️ crossover, the audio leads could have used more chill, and while I think Emily Wilson's essay was uncharitable, she's basically correct on the merits
btw, I occasionally do Twitch streams! like right now, for instance 😄 come on by and chat while I chill out with some Salmon Run!

This is 100% why people who've been on X for years now get so weirdly bummed out by Bluesky or any other site. It isn't that bsky is a 'bubble', it's that being a shithead in the replies gets you an immediate nuclear-block, rather than immediately rewarded with Skinner-box treats

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning
