Fiercely liberal, unabashedly nerdy. Cantankerous, mouthy, and defiant. Too many pets (as if!). LGBTQ+ ally and safe space. Fuck intolerance! "Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it." Just a big bird, hello. No relation to Creepy Dave. Okay, BYE.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Mayor Brandon Johnson once again calls for a General Strike. He says the power of the Labor Movement & The Civil Rights Movement combining was what Dr King imagined.

Since the billionaires & elites have united, if we're going to beat back this tyranny, workers must be even more united than them.

Every year, I wish for a nationalized power grid and for the government to stop letting these greedy fucking power companies bleed us dry in exchange for shitty, unreliable service.

Come on Carney. Do it!

I say the same things in public as I do in private. Fuck these megalomaniacal evil Nazi assholes & everything they stand for. Fuck all the stupid morons, nasty bigots, and greedy dickweeds who voted for it, and fuck all the greedy, cowardly, craven little sycophants who continue to go along with it.

It really does, but some of the fights are the best yet. When you get deep into the flow and dance back and forth across the arena, it feels incredible. And the story is SO satisfying... stick with it, you won't regret it. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Exactly. Freedom of expression doesn't mean freedom from consequences. We've forgotten that as a society.

Just don't use fextralife or otherwise support fandom and go with a proper wiki site and you'll be golden. ๐Ÿ˜

More and more the whole world is starting to feel feudal again. We don't have any power no matter how hard we try to organize, the oligarchs & tech innovators just treat us all like serfs and resources to be exploited anyway. Too many people are fine just going with the flow, we can't get momentum.

Yeah it's a real shame. There was a mass revolt & boycott of Reddit last year when they messed with the API access & blocked all 3rd party apps (which killed support for blind users among other things), but Reddit just ignored the users (and banned revolting mods), and people eventually went back.

All of these platforms seem to forget that they ONLY exist because of their community of creators. Without the creators, they are literally worthless. As soon as they get popular, they drink their own kool-aid and suddenly think people are there for the platform itself rather than the creators. ๐Ÿ˜

It would be a shame if everyone applied, clogged their system, pocketed the hiring bonus that still (somehow) has no legal strings attached, then immediately quit on the first day of training academy. Bankrupt them and waste their time at every turn.

They refuse to show up, WHILE continuing to draw a paycheck and receive free healthcare.

The real welfare queens in America are Republicans in government.

Wife and I are in the middle of this just now too! And we introduced a nerd friend of hers to them too via Spirited Away (she'd always wanted to see it but never had). I think we're going to be watching either Princess Mononoke or Howl's Moving Castle this week. ๐Ÿ˜Š

False. It's ALL about maintaining control, and eliminating human workers as fast as possible to strip what's left of the system's resources for those at the top before it all comes crashing down entirely. It's never been about technological improvements.

Universal Basic Income became a right the moment private ownership was added to the social contract. UBI is the opposite side of that coin. If we are to accept society's rule that we shouldn't take other people's stuff even if we need it, then society must guarantee we have access to what we need.

Any tech can be adapted from its original design. New tech is built on old foundations. Its function or direction can change on iteration, based on the user's goals. Things built with benign purpose have been adapted to war by the greedy & corrupt. Don't blame the tools, blame those who wield them.
