It's also just plain unnecessary

From @lflegal.bsky.social ’s CSUNATC, a reminder that if you feel like you aren’t able to push back on the illegal actions of this administration:
“Staying the accessibility course is resistance right now.”

"Using a mobility aid is not “giving up.“

Using a shower bench is not “lazy.”

Using a ramp is not for “disabled people only.”

Normalizing and not shaming people for using accessibility features reduces the stigma surrounding them. "- Misa on Wheels

Respect to the sales rep who I drunkenly cold called 2 years ago because we wanted to know how much a mini street sweeper cost, and who has been trying to sell me a street sweeper ever since. He knows Philadelphia needs a sweep and that man emailed me first thing in the morning lmao

I wouldn’t let people crawling back to twitter take up your mental energy. They’ve made their bed and their yearning for “engagement” or whatever else justifies their decision to be on the nazi place is their problem.

Just make sure you feel good about yourself for not doing that. I know I do.

He has literally told us that he’s not responsible for anything bad. Truman is rolling in his grave.

Had a similar experience with a photo of a herd of deer running in the middle of Pittsburgh in a FB group dedicated to that city. It was "bs bc there was snow on the ground today."

The OP never said it was taken today or even recently, she just found it amusing.

Also, no shade on pro YTers, it's just an observation.

Mike Patti's take is the inevitable result of a society that feels like everything one does has to be monetized in some way. From the hobby that becomes a side hustle to trying to make it as a pro YouTuber, we can't seem to just do things for the sake of enjoying them.

The image features a tweet by Pete Wharmby, whose username is @commaficionado. The tweet reads: "When talking or working with autistic people, don't treat our clarifying questions as a challenge to your authority. They're just questions so we don't misunderstand. It's horrible to misunderstand all the time. That's it."

"When talking or working with autistic people, don't treat our clarifying questions as a challenge to your authority.

They're just questions so we don't misunderstand. It's horrible to misunderstand all the time.

That's it."

"Your password cannot be a previous password"
"Excuse me, but I think YOU TRACKING AND STORING MY PASSWORD HISTORY IS A BIGGER FUCKING SECURITY ISSUE THAN ME USING THE SAME UNBREACHED PASSWORD MORE THAN ONCE"

there's a slice of history for design portfolios where folks were put on trying to make Google Glass look good and I wonder how many LLM-based features will be the same in ~10 years

Brilliant observation!

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

Making the clarion call for book research: I'm looking to interview #ActuallyAutistic LGBTQ+ people to ask how their gender identity intersects with their autism. Let me know if you'd be interested in speaking. EMGarcia2009@gmail.com.

Additionally, if Bannon would provide a transcript of his podcast, one could easily search for the quote. Lots of dropped balls all around!

While I agree that CNN should provide a link, bitching about that on here with no tag to CNN accomplishes absolutely nothing.

Why on earth can’t you Google “Bannon Patel podcast”?

After tumblr died but before it was declared dead*, the site became mostly a Pig Wrestling** platform.

* Tumblr is actually very much alive and quite cool now.
** As in the old adage, Never wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig likes it.

Anyway, twitter has entered its Pig Wrestling Era.

At least you had half a day to enjoy. Us Yanks had to watch that performance bright and early!

Completely unuseful swag (the vast majority of it) drives me up a wall!

Like and repost if your club is top of the league!! 🟡🔵
