I'm sorry, the 6 day fuckin what-now?!

Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil. Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back. Solidarity is how fascism loses.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

More like "Horrid Man"

That's great. What about the women that would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a trans woman? Because that's still most of the -extremely progressive- women I know. (I don't know any MAGA women)

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

Idk what this means, but it sounds important 🤷

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

The idea that we are obliged to save the online fascists and nazis from themselves is not one I subscribe to, I've been online for 30+ years now and the number of right-wing chuds who have ever engaged in "dialogue" for any reason except to waste other people's time can be counted on a single hand.

But the master said I could borrow his tools as long as I promised not to dismantle his house 😰

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

For those who are still degoogling, just know that Mapquest is rapidly updating features and fixing things. It's not perfect yet, but it's definitely worth the little bit of extra hassle to avoid Google for now.

Not with violence, or mockery. A real leader listens, and responds. Meanwhile, at a recent rally, Trump mocked a protestor as his supporters violently attacked her.

Do you guys think this media whirlwind of 'AI is going rogue' and 'AI is conscious' BS is just setting up the narrative for a technological monkey wrench being shoved into this election cycle?

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month, that's the sixth straight month... Jim Cramer: Look, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just, look at the data.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

Call it what it is: being in the right place at the right time with a silver spoon shoved up your ass. Gates and Musk aren't luminaries. Hell, they weren't even terribly good coders. They just happened to be there at the beginning of a tech boom with means to invest.

week. Now they're saying AI will provide 3 day work weeks and more money for us all. Bullshit. The companies that own it will hoard all the wealth for the owners. This is Lucy and the football. Not falling for it again. Fuck the benevolent billionaires. If they wanted to be good, they'd have been so
