we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

!!! This looks *grim* - crash between two high speed trains on the high speed line Madrid - Andalucía After the 18 January accident at Adamuz, damn this is terrible

Does not even begin to cover it. Train management is the oldest of all systematic safety-critical management problems. Effective protocols are 150 years old - much older than electronic signalling. The issues here are _well_ understood.

every single reporting of this new feature is extremely obnoxious because its fearmongering about a highly requested feature that stems from discussions surrounding troubleshooting and whatnot becoming relegated to closed off discord servers instead of public forums and discussion boards.

Anyway. If you're anti-genAI (as you should) you OUGHT to be able to filter through the marketing-speak and understand that "AI" as a term is just a huge marketing umbrella covering tech that is now ancient but rebranded as "AI" because it's the buzzword of the decade.

I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I wish these robots showed when they were empty so I could punt them into orbit without ruining someone's lunch

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

❗❗❗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 kind of lost track of the news that TfL is facing a £5.6 billion maintenance backlog. How did that happen?

Angel tube station is absolutely cooked and might have to close, Transport for London's maintenance backlog is causing big trouble. (And other stories.)

nearly getting mowed down by dr*vers who use an empty parking lane as a bypass lane

I've been to Union Square L exactly twice (I don't live in NYC) and both times were the most claustrophobic that I've ever felt on public transit. Keep 3 Av around, for the love of God
