@tillshadeisgone allowlists are the next logical step, not only for Black folks but for any highly targeted group. Website boy is a privileged, harmful fool for resisting it

@Polychrome the best thing about coin tosses is how they reveal secret preferences

@wallamidyl @inquiline yeah, fair, I should have said "purely to affect the outcome of a presidential election."

@wallamidyl @inquiline exactly, and I'm having a hard time believing that any union member could be convinced to go on strike ~purely for political reasons~

"I work on climate change, and now I’m a climate refugee. I feel an urgent need to speak up and say: this was an unnatural disaster."

Holy SHIT, my friends. Who told me to read "Late Victorian Holocausts" by Mike Davis? Because he sure wasn't kidding with that title. SO MANY PEOPLE DIED for free market ideology. In so little time.

I have zero sympathy for anyone suspended from Xitter at this point. What did you think was gonna happen?

Record-breaking wildfires in South America have created a toxic cloud of ash and smoke larger than the continental USA (4 million square miles). In Uruguay, the rain turned black. In São Paulo, prolonged drought has caused algal blooms that turned the Pinheiros River a bright unhealthy shade of green.

@PacificNic it's amazing how clarifying the basic premise that "the Democratic party hate their base more than they hate the GOP" has been for me

@tillshadeisgone YOU ARE CORRECT (and ever since my toddler-aged niece and nephew passed on My Neighbor Totoro, I've been reconsidering its merit)

Egalitarian societies show more resilience to natural disasters: new study of ancient Mesoamerican cities demonstrates that cities with collective forms of governance tended to outlast autocratic ones.

Speaking of bringing back the dead with AI... remember the "comedy" podcast that used an AI to create a fake George Carlin? That got sued by the Carlin estate and settled with them? I guess they're calling it quits. If the reddit is to be believed. Some of the fans still aren't sure if the ending is real or a troll just like the concept of an AI co-creating a podcast was.

The podcast's name was "Dudesy" and its fanbase is among the dudesiest I've seen in a long time.

The widespread unpopularity of theft as a service must be incredibly mystifying to the business elites, who have always run their businesses as large-scale stealing rackets

For example: I did a little copy writing and editing on the side for a while. One of the writing gigs I got was writing a bio for a successful business entrepreneur. His big innovation? Scouring all the publicly available yellow pages in the USA, digitizing them, and then selling the info to other businesses.

@jmcrookston funny how they protect and guard their own personal information. Almost like it's not worth nothing
