Every time I listen to a Fiona Apple album, I say, "This is my favorite Fiona Apple album. This is her best work, no question." It doesn't matter which one it is.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

Reminder that if anyone is setting you up online to do some crime, THAT PERSON IS A COP.

ALWAYS.

WITHOUT FAIL.
Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.

Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

The problem with asking abolitionists how to prevent violent and sexual crimes is that it presupposes that the current system actually addresses sexual or violent crimes when it categorically does not. The United States has the lowest clearance rates for violent crimes in the developed world.

loath to be too precious about this stuff but I want one lesson of defector to be "you can choose to not do stuff that sucks" even if "doing stuff that sucks" is the default

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

a real aficionado of junk food art is comfortable with their tastes and also engages with art outside that bubble. an insecure lover of junk rages and whines at anything they perceive as more rarefied and demands culture recognize and praise their chosen slop.

The only reason not to follow the Prison Rape Elimination Act is if you do not want to eliminate rape
BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids

The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.

This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

Great that the SBWU picket has been going strong for 18 days! Keeping those picket lines going 9am to noon every day sounds like a lot of work!

Not to be petty, but I don't think that counts as the longest ULP strike in sbux history. My store's 24/7 picket line shut the store down for 64 days.
Starbucks union says strike is longest in company history
Starbucks Workers United is now referring to its walkout as "the longest unfair labor practice strike in Starbucks history."

The numbers in here are hilarious.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

Literally just stop putting every fucking control on a goddamn touchscreen connected directly to the driver's phone
Senate Republicans are going after basic vehicle-safety mandates, like automatic brakes and child safety alarms.

They claim that these safety protocols are the real reason for the car affordability crisis.

The solution they're proposing instead is autonomous vehicles.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. I don't know a single trans person who hasn't lost another trans person in their circle. Please hold them in your hearts today, even if their names are new to you.

And remember all of us who are out here, doing the best we can.

There will come a time when we don't need a day of remembrance.

Julia Serano remains absolutely essential reading for anyone forced to engage with "well-meaning liberals just asking questions"
NEW ESSAY for Trans Awareness Week! hopefully it will make ppl aware about how bad actors manipulate transgender statistics & that "social contagion/ROGD" are disproven:
on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/lies-damned-...
& Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/lies-damne...
Lies, Damned Lies, and Transgender Statistics
plus over a dozen studies contradicting the “social contagion/rapid onset gender dysphoria” hypothesis
