Portland:

They’re actively working to resegregate housing, and our “allies” refuse to name racism while they’re doing so...

$300 & ~2 HOURS LEFT TO RAISE IT - CAR SO THEY CAN DO GIG WORK URGENT!

Their part-time job is *very* part-time. 30 ppl $10 each - any combo ppl x $$ - $300 - & the household has another income source.

Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2025

A chat with @andyzax.bsky.social reminded me of a real late 1990s artifact, Vangelis's "Tegos Tapes," done for a Greek surgeon as background music for training videos because said surgeon figured just him talking would be boring as shit. 8 hours plus of spacelanes drift!

The joy of Tik Tok

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

My guess is that it is a combination of pressures to publish in quantity (bean-counting much?) combine with field-level norms that set the MPU (minimum publishable unit) too small.

To solve that problem, rather than reaching for imagined "AI" as a band-aid, we could ask how it came to be.

The problem here seems to be publishing venues getting overrun with shoddy submissions.

Here's a rule of thumb: If "AI" seems like a good solution, you are probably both misjudging what the "AI" can do and misframing the problem.

Waking up in your lover's arms is truly in the top 5 of human experiences and it ain't number 5

Can’t help but remember when this picture was enough to spark months of scandal

All over the world, one of the queerest things LGBT organizing and HIV/AIDS care has done in the last few decades has been to give queer and trans people access to dignified employment doing important work WITHOUT a college degree.

This is under attack by the US govt.

Speaking of misogynoir…

Gambling really just makes everything worse, in this case misogynoir.

and don’t forget the allspice.

i personally use all those spices (sparingly because a little of each goes a VERY long way) in my candied yams glaze, and they are a HIT every time.

The value of AI is that it gives every corporation in every industry an excuse to lay off workers and cut payroll expenses, which Wall Street then rewards by increasing its stock price.

That's why the ENTIRE corporate world is lining up behind a product/business model that simply does not work.

AI doesn't make money, it burns it. And unlike every other big tech innovation of our lifetime, it actually gets LESS profitable as it scales larger and larger.

It's the opposite of a viable business model.
