Tambourines. Trumpets. "Blasting horns so the little fuckers had a terrible sleep.”

Demonstrators outside LA-area hotels—where ICE agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those agents awake.

@weinersmith.bsky.social @zachweinersmith.bsky.social I just finished the audiobook version and I couldn’t give it enough stars. Such an amazing and critical look into the future of space exploitation & exploration.

I’m definitely going to have to buy a physical copy!

🤢🧪 There’s no limit to #shame!

Yesterday, the #Apple website displayed the message: “Today and every day, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

I wonder how King would have felt knowing that #TimCook attended #Trump’s inauguration, where his best pal #Musk made repeated #fascist #salutes!
🤔🥺😭

I start seeing claims (from people outside Gaza) that Hamas achieved in Gaza a "victory". Explain this to the millions in Gaza who lost everything. Those shouting "victory" agree with Israel that this is not a genocide. You can't "win" against a genocide. Speaking from family experience.

GOOD NEWS (that will go underreported): Thanks to Biden & CFPB (which Trump & Musk want to abolish) medical debt will no longer keep people from getting home loans, etc.

Tennessee is #1 in medical bankruptcies.

A) These numbers ignore the “approaching” category. Calling 70% of 8th graders “functionally illiterate” is a lie from anti-public school privatizers.

B) Nixing the DOE will do nothing to help reading. States already run education.

C) Fund public schools. Stop attacking them.

According to the UN 1967 Outer Space Treaty, ratified by >100 nations (including the US), people who go to space remain the responsibility of some nation. Starting a new nation on Mars would violate long-standing international law. We have a few chapters in A City on Mars on this topic.

For all those enjoying the MAGA civil war, a reminder that Fascist regimes often emerge strengthened, emboldened, and more focussed from episodes of internal strife.

Alright so I clearly didn’t understand BlueSky originally, I was hoping posting would go immediately into a feed.

So I guess I’ll just be posting my thoughts about random things. Mostly anime & politics, but I’m also a really big fan of MTG, just not WoTC.

The only place companies that should be using AI is Compliance, eDiscovery & File/Mail Disposition. We should be using AI to hold these large corporations accountable.
Every software that’s shoved LLM stuff in my face has been literally trash. Notion, slack, office, search, even ChatGPT. Every attempt I’ve made to use it for high quality has been complete garbage. Its entire worth is from hyperbole and people who are fine with mediocrity*

Bannon again says China owns Elon: “This guy lives on government contracts and taxpayer subsidies… You’re a war profiteer…. You’re not even an American, all you are is a globalist. You would take a check from Adolph Hitler.”

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.
In 2024 more women were attacked by another woman in a public restroom than by a trans woman.

In fact I don't think any were attacked by a trans woman.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion
