ShenzoTheLost

Hey BlueSky! My name is ShenzoTheLost, and I am a part time content creator & full time pet dad to one dog (Tanner) and three cats (Aquacati, Mango, and Coco)! I love video games, pets, superheroes, music, and TTRPGS! It's really nice to meet you!

This is simply not sustainable.

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

A fantastic thread that really highlights the many, many obstacles we have to overcome even within our own party.

Yes, all of this. It's also an unreliable service with very high costs, both financial and elsewhere.

It's very difficult to stay positive when everything seems to be going wrong.

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

This is only the tip of the iceberg, mark my words.

me as fuck holy shit lol

People mention LLMs a lot in terms of "increasing accessibility" And as someone with intermittent cognitive disabilities, I *really* want to highlight how much work it is to sort through AI slop to try to find accurate information

Yeah I think it's a combination of the Internet, the election of Trump (twice), and the institutional retreat from defending anyone who isn't a white male. I'm certain there's other factors that I haven't considered as well.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

The one "free speech absolutionist" I have seen post a comment today decided to use the moment to decry Congress requiring Zuckerberg to testify about the suspension. I did not see a single post warning about the dangers of these corporations suppressing the free speech of the protestors.

To all my streamer friends who use Facebook or Instagram: You should probably read this.

I have an essay in the November issue of The Nation about the Dem establishment class war on the youths, and by extension DSA and young progressives in general: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

As a programmer myself, this is both so sad and also hysterical. GTFO with this weak shit.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

The financial costs alone that are required to use this tech are extremely high, & the fact of the matter is that the cases where the tech is actually useful are highly specific & not very profitable. That's before the ethical questions, legal ramifications, & outside costs are factored in.

Yep, well said! The constant drumbeat of hate and vitriol I saw on a regular basis there made leaving pretty easy. I've had no desire to return, and the constant whining from certain individuals about how people should go back has reinforced that lack of desire.

Gee, it's almost as if this was entirely predictable!

Just got hired at TBG Franchise as a crew member! My first shift: Oct.14th at 8pm est. #Twitch #BlackGuild #TBGFranchise

That director, and whoever above them gave them that directive, needs to be fired and blacklisted from the industry.

"Instead of doomscrolling when I'm sad, I'm just gonna play instead." 70 hours of playtime in 2 weeks I don't know if I'm supposed to look at it positively, since I'm having fun instead of just being sad. But looking at it negatively, a significant chunk of my day is spent on just being sad.

Big news! The Vtuber Pride Calendar 2028 applications are open! The 2027 version was a big hit, so we're doing one again, and we wanna include MORE Pride Vtubers that can join us! Applications run from October 8th till October 31st. forms.gle/8BnKEQqVsUBN...

Professor Jean Twenge searching for the cause:

While it may seem unnecessary to many of you, today seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trans Rights Are Human Rights and the trans community will always have my axe.

Democrats better learn quickly that they must stand for the people, all of the people, not just the people that Independents don't think are icky, all of the people and all of their civil rights. Or, they can become the American Labour party.
