I read a book about almost this exact scenario by @zoestorm.bsky.social. only difference is the egg ain't a fed.

I mean another part of it may be me being a sci fi head who believes thinking feeling programs might be invented one day and I'd rather them not be born into a world with a pre-made slur for them. But the idea that I just don't like even the facade of hate is a big part of it.

That explains why the fake slur for robots rubbed me the wrong way even before it got turned on disabled folks. Thanks for the insight.

Could we power a big drill robot that destroys space Facism instead?

Indigenous Nations Plan Tariff-Free Trade Corridor Across US-Canada border ino.to/agDxSX2

Wishing Chief Redman all the best in this endeavor of re-establishing his nation's sovereign trade rights and kudos to the for the brilliant timing of this plan. The Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation and their trade partners have an incredible opportunity to completely change the game here.

The state fired into a crowd of peaceful protesters and as a direct result lit a powder keg by directly threatening the lives of those who wanted change. When authoritarians raise the stakes that way they risk their undoing.

Ugh... I'm really hopeful that we solve this rising tide of facism non violently. By being loud and disruptive without having to take a life. I think there's a strategic value to it.

That being said, They gotta know there's no way violence works out for them right? Look what happened in Nepal.

Banning Link, one of BlueSky's most prolific Black users, over the CEOs crash out defending her pet transphobes is totally unsurprising but still disappointing.

Someone should tell the team that the social media utopia for white moderates already exists and it isn't here.

A Bug's life taught me at a young age that the greatest weapon against oppression is standing alongside one another even when we're different. ESPECIALLY when we're different

Holy shit. Like we all know the pharmaceutical industry is corrupt and exploits us but this graph...

What the ever loving fuck.

AI bubble needs popping yesterday

Regardless of your thoughts on whether these words are historically accurate or not the point is for people who claim to not only believe in this man's existence but to live by his teachings, they really tend to live by the opposite.

You know as someone who was raised Christian I REALLY hate that a lot of conservatives clearly ain't seen what is actually written of Jesus' words. Dude was radically punk rock as hell. He said rich people can't be good unless they rid themselves of their wealth to help the poor. And so much more.

it is a good time to send transgender people money

if you are a bluesky user who is transgender and could use money LOL WHO ARE WE KIDDING ---

if you are transgender, post ur paylinks below !

She started her activism at a young age and people find it convenient to act like she's "Just a kid" in order to dismiss points she's making.

Sorry if I have given the impression I took you in bad faith, I communicate badly at times. I was trying to agree with the point you were making. Did not mean to pile onto anything. The words hot take were meant to be directed more in response to society at large, not you.

Even a fraction of a percent. Just one more person seeing the truth is always good.

THE TIDES ARE TURNING

61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 39 percent saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians

You’re gonna say this isn’t enough. You’re right. But these numbers were almost unthinkable a year ago.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Hot take. Beating up a 22 year old who's just trying to provide humanitarian aid to people is still fucked allistic or otherwise.

Eeeey, they put Kyra and Mersiel from #pathfinder in the #starfinder GM Core in sci-fi gear. Hell yeah. Also gay [respectful]

It hurts to see. Especially when those who should theoretically be stopping them are supporting them. Everyone responsible for the atrocities ice is commiting need to stand trial.

I'm not familiar with the PX program and how good it is but privatizing something people rely on is always a terrible idea to keep those folks happy.
