I do wonder how many Black folks would have been here three years ago if the Mastodon devs and stans actually listened to us back then...

I am getting tired.

We need to be at the point where we start throwing our bodies into the gears to make it stop!

Today is my one year anniversary at my job!

The company gifted me a planted tree somewhere in Oregon to offset their carbon emissions due to their embrace of GenAI.

But, in all seriousness, I am very blessed to have a job given what’s going on in the industry and I am still eternally grateful for everyone who helped me through nearly two years of unemployment before then!

It’s cute when people honestly don’t know that MLK was a socialist.

I take it back.

It isn't cute.

It's actually going to get a lot of us killed.

There are too many people who still have this warped view of socialism because they can't see outside the bubble of the empire.

However, we cannot let that deter us from the work that needs to be done.

We have a world to win!

Tim Apple has been really chummy with Trump lately.

I wonder how much longer #Apple is going to hold in to its privacy standards, before they let the US Empire in?

Has anyone thought that maybe this would be a long term goal to make people as sick as RFK so they'd constantly need health insurance?

@nivex SO MUCH THIS!!!!!!!!

Stephen Colbert took a dig at China about a picture of Mao as if the US doesn’t have a mountain with four white men carved into it.

The hypocrisy of the media knows no bounds.

What in the absolute fuck?!

I don't like facial recognition, but when I do, it's always against fascist enforcers of the State.
