mood. the number of my ex-colleagues who are kiwi farmers is... more than just the one I've outed so far.
it's Not Good! never would have known without some serious investigative firepower (high-five @kathryntewson.bsky.social). what people will say to your face vs behind back sure is something.

People are having a reaction to the Planter thing because they liked him and are now feeling shame that he was outed. There's a reflexive desire to feel like there is something wrong with YOU.
I wish we'd see it differently. There are people all around you who hold these beliefs and you don't know.

Hey there, this is the account manager for Jucika, I hate to break silence but we need help to pay for an emergency kidney removal. We are currently uninsured and living in the US makes it difficult

Waterboys doing AI visuals for album art is especially worrying, bc they're such a neo-Boomerish, respect for the craft, tastefully modernised trad outfit.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

GenAI is just another symptom of a devolving society, interested far more in convenience, grift, destruction, self and power than community, empathy, humility, honesty and love. But like all the other shit happening... I wholeheartedly reject this overwhelmingly destructive technology. Stay natural

Sure, counterpoint: I require extremely thick lenses because I have exceedingly bad vision and the only frames that work with them are very similar to Meta glasses. I am literally blind without my glasses, they take 6 weeks to replace and are painfully expensive.

Put out an EO changing the sport’s name to ‘Handegg’, Daddy.
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."

I cross archer several times a day walking the dog and i cannot *wait* for this project to be completed
CBS just produced an extremely one-sided report on the Archer Complete streets project, repeatedly calling the project "reducing Archer Avenue from 4 lanes to 2" for bike lanes, when it's really a 4 -> 3 conversion to make the street safer for all users. What are your thoughts on this segment?

you just get MORE CARS. if you're in those cars, they don't go faster! if you live nearby it's just harder to cross the street!
and in fact it's HARDER to bike or walk or do anything but drive. because now you're surrounded by giant metal boxes taller than i am and it feels, correctly, DANGEROUS

we've known about induced demand for a hundred years but apparently it needs to be taught in elementary schools.
it is, to be fair, counterintuitive. if you have a lot of traffic, and you make the road wider, you'd expect it to go faster. BUT IT DOESN'T

I feel like people really resist a sense of inevitability when it comes to things like this.
People work tremendously hard to avoid the notion that -they- might be thrown in with The Bad Ones, not realizing that Throwing Folks In With The Bad Ones is all that fascists have, all they'll ever have.

As important as it is to differentiate from sexual and non-sexual nudity, it's equally as important to not shame the other.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

In old scifi movies, computers of the far-flung future only ever seemed capable of running basic programs.
Turns out it was prophetic.
With hardware manufacturers pulling out of the consumer market to sell their wares to AI companies; that's all you're going to be able to afford.
