Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

I just can't stop thinking about how America voted for this to happen and how so many people are watching this government's ethnic cleansing campaign and clapping like seals.

🧵As @ajaxsinger.bsky.social said, "White people using whiteness to combat white supremacy is key to defeating white supremacy."

And as I've said: WW need to understand that, in a white supremacist patriarchy, our bodies & lives have value only insofar as we serve the white supremacist patriarchy.
A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.
what a legend lmao

I got blocked once after asking a poster for alt text. Their response was "you can't do that with text" and i replied they could.
People can also look stuff up on the internet.
Since a few people have asked, it's quite easy these days to extract text from any image. There are many tools that will help, but here's how I do it.
Right click on any image in Chrome and there's an option for "Google Lens" which will let you highlight any text and it will pop up a "copy text" option.

"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

Great article.
I joined design experts in speaking with the writer of Fast Company’s recent article on Joe Gebbia as the first U.S. Chief Design Officer, sharing concerns related to America by Design and its failure to design for America.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

I've emailed @bennet.senate.gov multiple times over the course of last year. Not long ago I received a very vague response that also included a paragraph that was in a completely different font. Are they just cutting and pasting things now? Using AI?

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.

It's 25 degrees outside.

Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"

Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Just saw a part time instructional designer postion, and the amount of generative AI they want someone to use is absurd. Is this where we are heading.
Also, contract that shit, don't make someone come into an office for part time hours.

Not a well known celebrity in the U.S., but one of my favorite musical artists in Pakistan in early 00s was Faakhir. While waiting at the embassy to pick up my passport I happened to meet him and chat awhile. I also found out it was his mom whom was a big interview for me. He was very very cool.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

I'm not overly hopeful about Senate Dems doing the right thing. There are far too many of them who are listening to centrist consultants who are telling them they could get the party nomination for the presidential ticket if they just appeal more aggressively to bigots.

I still don't trust i actually have a package out there, but if I do, what is wrong with package delivery service?

I just got blocked because i asked someome for alt text, they said it can't be done for images with text, i replied it can, and that's the end. This person has "media communications" in their bio. probably all i needed to know, but i always ask, some folks don't know and are willing to learn.
