Good news: after organizing a 16-month rent strike, tenants across 5 buildings in East Harlem have won 6 months' rent credit and repairs from Emerald Equities—and now they're exploring how they might turn the buildings into a community land trust. Kudos to @cvhaction.bsky.social for this win.

don't forget rhonda byrne!

totally yeah

for a similar effect watch a bunch of old jungle/exotic adventure serials and then watch raiders of the lost ark immediately after. some of raiders comes off as almost airplane-esque parody of the genre

also a thing about star wars is its inherent postmodernism of taking the old *accusation* of sf being space operas --- i.e. just reskinned westerns --- and going 'yes that is what this is and we're doing it full-throttle' is not quite obvious to generations who grew up with it

this is also a direction roddenberry gave in TOS --- nobody explains the phaser or the tricorder, the phaser's a phaser and the tricorder's a tricorder. notably goofed it up in TNG s1 but

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

i also think it should be pointed out that "culturally normal" is structurally a fascist idea. like not (just) fascist [derogatory], fascist [technical]

I just need more time.

"Every UI designer working today owes the Okudas. Myself included. I've been in UI/UX for over 30 years. I watched this entire trajectory unfold—from DOS terminals to VR. Michael and Denise contributed more to Apple's design language than any designer who ever cashed a check from Cupertino."

do people rate things like that

Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

OTOH is a workplace where it is *mandated* one in which you can assume you'll survive the next layoff cycle anyway?

What's funny (and this might be regional?) the 'new plan' that is effectively identical to my older plan is cheaper by a few bucks

I yelled at the adobe customer service "rep" a bit when I was switching plans about wanting one with zero LLM credits. Probably will again this month.

I ran this in Alien once lol

i mean that sounds like a cool idea
