new goal for March is up. Im really really hoping this job interview reaches out next week and says yes but i have very little expectations at this point.

it does but at least theres some good people in it, like u

man why are the good people always getting sick and hurt while the evil fucks are still going on even if they are slowly rotting away

and if you have good bike lanes and such, chances are you'll also have good walkability in general too, so you wouldnt even NEED a bike either.

Something @sgoodyear.bsky.social points out that I'm reminded of each time people post about the war, gas prices and the need to switch to EVs is that the V in EV stands for "vehicle," not "car." E-bikes are EVs and cities need to create the conditions that will allow more people to adopt them.

What cities should do:

- Double down on active transportation infrastructure and transit, not roads and highways.
- Fund e-bike rebate programs.
- Switch municipal fleets, where possible, to cargo bikes. (Parks department vehicles, for example.)
- Expand commuter tax credits to encourage cycling.

one of the frustrating things about applying for jobs is the businesses love to just call one time and if its missed, sorry, youre shit out of luck i guess.

I've done a lot of lobbying and a lot of activism. It seems stupid, it seems pointless, it seems ineffectual, but phone calls are one of the few things that legislative offices really pay attention to as a barometer for public opinion.

Call early and call often.

these fuckers get scared when they get tons of calls becasue they fear for reelection. so call them, call them again and again and get others to call them

listen if you see my posts about calling representatives and think that phone calls dont do enough, that's fine, im not out here pretending phone calls are a silver bullet. but if all youre doing is leaving smarmy "ahem, you know this wont work right?" comments, i kindly ask you to stop

Corruption, more and more corruption. Theyre just dumping money into their buddie's wallets.

its actually weird that AO3 has bots considering you literally need to queue up to sign up for it

i think theres a lot more push back, especially now that other countries had simmilar bills that are just a disaster.

its because this was never about protecting kids but simply restricting the internet and harvesting everyone's data.

Come get some art from an amazing panda today!

All 6 slots still open!

Fucking Wikipedia is blocked by those shitass bills.

it'll be nothing more than a corporate wasteland, full of santized content that still requires your ID to view. Many sites will just be shut down as they cannot afford to maintain what this shitass bill requires.
The UK and Australlia already did this shit and its been a disaster.

this shit will literally kill the internet. It will be a husk of its former self, it'll just be flat out unusable.

4 frame comic. each frame shows a scene of destruction in Iran, with pillars of smoke rising up in the sky. text reads : joseph weizenbaum was an a.I pioneer and the creator of the 1966 early chatbot "eliza". in his 1976 book "computer power and human reason", he warned against the dangers of artificial intelligence. weizenbaum asserted that a.I. should never be used for decision-making, because it will always lack moral judgement. people in power, executing their will through a.I., would absolve themselves of moral responsibility. weizenbaum would have known about that. his jewish parents fled nazi germany. from 1933, the nazis spent considerable resources studying how to desen- sitize their agents to commit mass murders. the solution was automation and the removal of agents from decision-making.* (note : The Nazi Mind, Laurence Rees, 2025) I wonder what Weizenbaum would have thought about the rise of AI warfare.

AI and decision-making.

Spring time is coming and this space dog is ready for it!

take it easy and get as much rest as you can!

A sad but necessary update. Life's been putting me through the wringer, and I'm fighting so hard to get through this, but it takes an immense toll on me. Love and hugs and gratitude to everyone who's been so amazing and supportive during this difficult time. (1/2)

I didn’t say anything for International Women’s Day. So now, on March 9th, International Women’s Boxing Day, here is a list of men I would like to punch:

That's why I'm so against ChatGPT. I'm against letting a machine do your homework for you. I think you should cling to Doing Your Homework Yourself like it's the last opportunity you have to liberate yourself from mental enslavement. Because it basically is.

Anyway shout out to Kai Cenat.

I think rewarding children for reading with pizza is actually a phenomenal idea and we should start doing that again
