I got tired of Substack platforming Nazis, white supremacists, and convicted rapists, so I made a browser extension. Kill Yr Substack intercepts every Substack link and redirects it to `archive.is`. They never see your traffic. You still get to read the thing tho. jasoncosper.com/kill-yr-subs...

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

thinking about the thing i've put off for months vs. doing it in 3 minutes

Hearing the administration wants to move the US off the dollar and onto Camel Cash.

It’s wild how quickly AI has become the microplastics of code. You can’t be certain if its output is in the software you’ve installed, so you just pray and hope it doesn’t give you cancer later.

The city still hasn't held a public meeting on Flock cameras here in #Bakersfield, so we're hosting our own. Again. 🙃 Wed, Oct 14 @ 5:30pm Salon Juarez Hall, 815 E 18th St. City Council and every Ward candidate are invited to come listen. Free and open to all. gtfo.makersfield.co

Flock cameras are logging every plate that drives through #Bakersfield, and City Hall never asked us if that's something we wanted. Live here? Work here? Sign the petition to get them out. I built this myself. There are no third parties, and signee info gets wiped 60 days after the campaign's over.

I would like to encourage smart people fleeing the tech industry and determined to be their own boss to consider options beyond launching yet another coffee brand. I will offer free consultations for talking you out of this.

it's a new season for technology & for technologists, and our labor and its impact to the world are both more greater and more dangerous than ever. how do we make sense of work in an industry many of us no longer recognize?

I was introduced to Lames Loyce’s Soft Satan sculptures over the weekend and think they’re wonderful. ♥️ www.lamesloyce.store/category/sma...

I love that they used the “Live, Laugh, Lungs” font.

I *love* baseball, but every time I hear dudes start to rattle off shit like OPS, WAR, etc. I’m like:

Years ago I ran a blog, then sold it off. I couldn't buy the old site back, but I've got a fresh take on the concept and its return is imminent. Bootleg season approaching…

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

Just set Stop Rot and Screen Time limits on Instagram. One hour a day, only openable 6–9am and 6–9pm. Lowkey curious how long I stick with this. 😅

Antiflock Action classic tees are only $13 until Friday at 5pm CDT. I make less per unit, but hopefully I'll make up for that in volume. That's how business works, yeah?

I will vote, make calls, knock doors, take up arms for whoever destroys the online gambling industry

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Last call on this one! Mike and Erika are who I'd want helping me figure out my next move. They also won't blow smoke up your ass. Already laid off? Money tight? There's a code hiding in the event description.

NYT tech reporter sings the praises of Meta Muse. It can do everything for you! Even set your fantasy football lineups! My dude... you know that's called "cognitive surrender," right? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/t...

Your city's plate readers already clocked your car on the way to the gym and work today. Might as well give them something new to look at before you head out to daycare pickup. Antiflock Action stickers are up now. There's shirts, buttons, and a wall flag too!

A spectre is haunting your neighborhood… I'm in the fight against Flock here in Bakersfield and decided to have a little fun in Affinity. So here's the antifa roundel with the flags swapped out for cameras. Shirts, stickers, buttons, wall flag. 👇 boogah.threadless.com/designs/anti...

Laid off? Not laid off but you can feel it coming? Mike and Erika are running a session on what to do next. Practical help with zero toxic positivity. I've been taking Mike's advice for years and it's always served me well.

Hello! Earlier this week we launched our HOW TO VOTE/CÓMO VOTAR zine. (howtovote.tips) I really hope you use it to make some zines. I’m also happy to answer and questions you might have. And… I would really love to see some photos of the zines once you’ve made them. Also, fuck Ed Sheeran.

Hey! You at work? Is there a copy machine just sitting there not being busy? That is a mismanagement of resources! Put it to work making voting zines! howtovote.tips

Put a Porto's in Bakersfield, you fucking cowards. I'm sorry… Please put a Porto's in Bakersfield, you fucking cowards.

Credit where due. Trump knows his base: Florida cops who use Flock cameras to stalk their ex-girlfriends.

The zine is free to download and we encourage you to make as many as you want and spread them around to everyone you know. Leave copies on the bus, cafés, park benches, school, your breakroom, Ed Sheeran’s trailer, hand them to neighbors, etc. Each zine is in English and (flip it!) Spanish.

I built the site for this! Print early, print often, and distribute widely. ♥️

Anyone ever bought used Chromebooks in bulk? I'm looking for maybe a dozen to start. Refurb dealers? School surplus sites? Sketchy looking (but actually legit) eBay lots? I've got no idea where to begin, and I'm *really* trying to not get burned on a pile of dead hardware.

Who told you you can’t write a book? Who told you you can’t build a rollercoaster in your backyard? Who told you you can’t paint your living room hot pink? Who told you you can’t have cereal for dinner? Who told you you can’t wear that? Not us. Come hang with us. We’ll talk you into things.

Californians: AB 1856 exempts Linux from the age gating bullshit coming for every other OS next year. Unanimous in both houses. Newsom signs or vetoes by Sept 30. Call 916-445-2841. Say you're from California, you support AB 1856, and you want it signed. More: comms.makersfield.co/archive/how-...

Be honest. You are only PRETENDING to work on Fridays, so come to this AND pretend you’re working. We’ll be discussing all things newsletter. Including how to move yours from Substack to a safer harbor. www.eventbrite.com/e/1996742234...

Folks wouldn't have a problem catching MAHA Blast if they'd been doing their RFKegels.

How good of a chance do y'all think I'll have inviting pals over to watch LAFC matches once the World Cup is over?

People of America, the literary event of the century is happening this Thursday! Please join me and @sachajudd.com as we discuss fandoms, donuts, families, why no one can get a job, and the importance of washing dishes. It’s a good hang! Somehow this is all free. www.eventbrite.com/e/1990820294...

Been reading “On The Road” for the first time in ages and while Kerouac can turn a phrase, Dean Moriarty is the most intolerable AuDHD motherfucker in the world and I might actually hate him.

I've got an old 12TB external (Western Digital, outside of warranty) that is clearly dying. Who's the plug for HDDs?

@hibf.bsky.social Would y'all be interested in the audit log data we managed to get from the CPRA request we sent to the City of Bakersfield, CA? archive.org/details/bake...
