GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

If y'all wanted to go into your evening smiling: some dude none of us have ever met has a wheelchair that works now. The broken one has been donated to the same shop I got the new one from, so they're gonna repair that and give it away.

Mutual aid is a force multiplier.
