Spotify wrapped but instead of Spotify it’s Google and they’re like here are the fifty top things we know about you and it’s extremely unsettling and then you realize wait why don’t we have a data privacy law in this country and it radicalizes you and you’re never using Google again and joining the fight to stop oligarchs from stealing and exploiting and enriching themselves on our personal information and you’re demanding data justice and digital reparations

I am so sorry. Much love to you.

What the fuck....?

People throw around “neoliberalism” far too much, but the meaning of neoliberalism is to use markets to solve any and all problems. In a way it’s a “relief” to face the barest, most gunmetal version of the thing, if only to marvel at it before it eradicates us.

All I can think of is, someone went to a SLAC and it changed their life and this is their love-letter to that institution.

Just go and watch the second season of A Man on the Inside on Netflix. Goes down smooth and makes one hopeful.

“I can’t count the number of developers who had similar stories like this, or like mine, where existing on these mainstream space is an absolute nightmare.
Games aren’t viewed as art here, but as products. That’s always going to create friction…”

I kinda love how idealistic it is, given how much shit HE is taking. Someone CLEARLY had a transformative experience at a SLAC.

Has anyone else watched S2 of "A Man on the Inside"? Because I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!!

After mass AI college-cheating freakout, many admissions offices are using it to screen student applications | Fortune It wasn't long ago they began banning student use of it for homework or test-taking. Admissions offices are different, though.

Judging from the quotes in here, university admins are some of the least “ai literate” people in existence. No wonder they think students need to be taught how to use it.

Isn’t it ironic? It’s like, hey we’re going to start taking your symptoms seriously but also healthcare is being gutted and we’re increasingly losing bodily autonomy.

Just like rain on my wedding day. A free ride when I’ve already paid.

You know, it makes sense that gen-x women are hitting (peri)menopause during this time where everything is literally falling apart. It’s perfect? Shitty? Shittily perfect? Perfectly shitty?

Hospitals Gave Them Meds During Childbirth. Why Did Patients Get In Trouble? Mothers were reported after they were given medications used routinely for pain or in epidurals, to reduce anxiety or to manage blood pressure during cesarean sections.

Another example of why pregnancy is unsafe in America.

You won’t have reproductive freedom.

You could be criminally charged for pregnancy loss.

You could be given drugs during labour and then reported to social services for a positive drug test.

Despicable.

Very few people under 50 are going to fall for the "work hard and play by the rules" line when we've all been doing that for decades while watching those who don't succeed and ravage the world for sport. "Work hard and play by the rules" simply means "produce value and obey".

Me inbox when I woke up this AM: HEY DID YOU KNOW TODAY IS BLACK FRIDAY AND WE SELL THINGS THAT ARE ON SALE TODAY!

I need that Oatmeal cartoon where he opens his laptop and nothing but pumpkins/eclipses/whatever come flying out at him, but it’s Black Friday sale emails.

Pope of Nope is my favorite. It's saved on my phone and desktop for situations like these!
