It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

When I started in tech, my idea of success was working in tech. Now that we're on year 4 of mass layoffs despite record profits, my idea of success is having enough money for my entire lifestyle not to be contingent on the combined whims of a bunch of MBAs and some executives who need more yachts.

Wie wärs, wenn wir alle Abgeordneten von der CDU schreiben, dass wir treue CDU-Wähler_innen sind, aber das Kreuz woanders setzen, wenn sie mit der AfD zusammenarbeiten. Es geht denen doch nur um Stimmen.

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent.
All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?"
Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.
Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

In the spirit of the Turing Test, I propose the Cripslock Test: No system can be called AGI if that system cannot reliably determine whether or not it is spewing absolute bullshit.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

This is why sites like kofi or cara or anywhere don't allow sexual images, it's the credit card's fault, so sign this if you either draw NSFW, or know anyone who does

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

PlayStation 5 Pro Shows the Futility of the Video-Game Graphics Race
It’s become redundant to say that a modern game has “great graphics,” the way everyone did in the 1990s or early 2000s. These days, they all do.

Ironic for Ken to get nominated but not barbie.
Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" was nominated for eight Oscar nominations, but not for Best Director for Gerwig or Best Actress for Margot Robbie. Read our review of the film "that takes sisterhood as a starting point."
‘Barbie’ Review: Out of the Box and On the Road
She’s in the driver’s seat, headed for uncharted territory (flat feet!). But there are limits to how much dimension even Greta Gerwig can give this branded material.
