Graham Platner's running and he seems pretty good, so far.

He's running on an affordability populist DemSoc platform like Zohran for NYC, and he's backed by Bernie.

Here's hoping he's good for it.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

I stand by what I yelled about a year ago...

Having other skills like photography and art are great for 3D rendering...

But some of y'all need a course in filesize management.

Because a still image under 4000×4000 px in res shouldn't be 100+MB. A GIF that size is understandable... but not a png.

Okay, but to be fair, that's for film and video... and Hollywood at that.

That I can kinda understand.

But I'm talking about basic Barry and his gaming desktop cranking out 3D kink art at 64+bit color depth for no reason besides, oh the green isn't as bright.

But also a sidenote if I may, I really do like when repetition is used like that to convey obsession and the existential dread of the marching of time.

I've only read two works with it used that way - Fahrenheit 451 and Macbeth - but I still find it to be an interesting literary device.

But Professor, how am I to finish my finals essay on the Use of Repetitive Phrasing To Denote the Meaninglessness of Time in Literature?

And the essay is due tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Because how did you manage to make a PNG image require more memory and storage to exist than a MP4 with 4K resolution?

The color depth doesn't need to be cranked to Max. I don't need 64-bit colors when 8 and 16 bit is perfectly fine.

There's my old man rant for the day.

Keep in mind, the Starbucks business model is to place a Starbucks within line of sight on every major thoroughfare.

Boston, NYC, LA, Chicago - you can see the next one from the first.

Not only can they afford to do this, it's one of their defensive strategies.

Working Mass @dsaworkingmass.bsky.social · 7d

On Wednesday, Sept 17, Davis Square workers voted to join Starbucks Workers United. One week later, on Thursday the 25th, Starbucks announced the imminent closure of hundreds of stores nationwide. By the 27th, the store had permanently closed.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

He was already in the first one...

But also, not really. Matt's never had much pride and dignity outside of his musical theatre days and is known for being willing to do almost anything for money/views.

Decent boss and dad, but that's it.

Michigan friends, Michigan citizens, please fight this. For yourselves, and so it doesn't become a model for the rest of the states.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.
