This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

No - needs permission from the resident of the house. Unless you signed a warrant against yourself, I guess. I don't know why this is a difficult question.

Oh this is a Ryan Murphy shindig, that makes more sense now.

Just started Doctor Odyssey - 23 minutes in and my impression is WTF is this show? *bewildered but not un-entertained?*

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

My favorite read of 2025 so far is WOODWORKING by Emily St. James (non-smutty adult contemporary).

I started a queer movie brunch club this year and chose Saving Face as one of the first features. I don't even remember the first time I saw it, but I sure fell in love when I did. Don't miss Wu's more recent directorial outing (The Half Of It) either!

I hope to see much more from her.

Boosting! If vaccines are a matter of choice, how dare anyone deny my access to them!

Ohhh maybe I'll give this another go? I watched a few eps and bounced off of it.

Great list, also adding my personal faves SLOW HORSES!!!, BAD SISTERS!!!, FOUNDATION!!!!!, and DICKINSON!!!!! SCHMIGADOON! if you're into Broadway! AppleTV is the most underrated streamer right now for the quality of what they're putting out IMO.

Hmmm interesting thought. If the contestants choose the songs, then that would make sense. (For DWTS I had the vague impression that songs are generally assigned so I would have a bigger complaint with them, but I could be completely wrong!)

It's been some time since I watched this, but imo it is one of the very best explanations of why you should not allow yourself to be interviewed by the police.

How the SAVE act could Disenfranchise Millions of Women's and Trans Voters

#HandsOffHerVote

Tell your Congressional Representatives to reject the SAVE Act!

The SAVE act (HR22) is not just a way to further voter suppression allegedly to halt voter fraud, a virtually nonexistent problem, it is a backdoor repeal of the 19th Amendment for 69 million women-

I've only managed to read one book in the last while but it was WOODWORKING by @emilystjams.bsky.social - absolute banger of a story, my favorite read of 2025 so far. Bonus: finished during #transrightsreadathon. 🏳️‍⚧️

I need people to not humor very obvious bad faith content trying to normalize bigotry in book spaces.

“Clean” is a conservative Christian term. It’s explicitly sex negative and anti-lgbtqia. It not only means no on page sex but present no a very specific type of love and world view. White supremacy

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 2025! Children's Just Like Queen Esther by Ari Moffic and Kerry Olitzky (text) and Rena Yehuda Newman (illustration) Atara loves to wear her crown - to the library, to the dentist, even to her swim lessons. It gives her confidence, and shows the world that she is a girl, not a boy, like everyone thought at first. But when Atara reads the story of Queen Esther, on the Jewish holiday of Purim - she realises that you don't need a costume to express who you really are...

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

“People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, and your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.“
