Is there a list or like a “KNOWN FASCIST COLLABORATORS” shaming website that lists all the companies/organizations who cave to right wing pressure campaigns and fire people for exercising free speech? They need to hear a lot of noise from the 1000s of people who won’t be their customers anymore.

The division between the Heart and the Machine grows clearer. Do not fear #AI
It has no heart; and it will never achieve consciousness. It is the threat from empty humans wielding AI we must repel.
With something great, always emerges something terrible… nonetheless, greatness is ever more needed.

I moved to Tulsa for a bit, many reasons but one big one is I thought I could afford a house… but no. The out of reach syndrome is there too. I moved back to #Bellingham also for many reasons, a big one being if I can’t have a house in Tulsa, I at least can’t have a house in Washington.

Seattle people, I'll be on Evening Magazine on KING5 tonight, showing my studio space and talking about how we made the Pearl Jam tour visuals. I don't have normal TV so I'm telling my Mom to record it on VHS for me.

It’s s*** like this that drives me nuts. There are industries that can only thrive upon cheap labor and immigrant exploitation, yet rather than optimize for required labor/wage costs or ensure legal hiring, they instead go after immigrants, and not the unethical owners/managers who exploit them!
