But is it really a reaction to the technology, or are we maybe reacting to the enshitification of technology? If your power tools are different colors they use 'proprietary' battery packs that all have the same base cells in them. Who wants a car that can be bricked by a forced software update?

I went down a full shoe size on estrogen. You lose muscle mass and it can effect your joints.

With all the work you put into sensors and wiring, when are you going to get into Arduino?

If any organization knows about the ancient art of lying to create divisions in order to rule by dividing it's the catholic church.

I can't imagine having so much power, and instead of consolidating it they broadcast themselves acting like cartoon villain buffoons.

I'm conflicted on this. In the IT industry H1Bs have been used to bring in workers that get their labor exploited under threat of visa cancellation while simultaneously being used to suppress the wages of American workers.

Yakko Warner has a much better version.

"Baby, you got a coup going!"

We should also have the difficult talk about what to do with churches/religion in light of their political power and affiliations. We can't allow christian (or other religion) fascists to rise up again. We can't allow them to usurp education and ban books in service of their bigoted ideals again.

Does everything feel broken but weirdly normal? There’s a word for that Large-scale systems are crumbling, yet daily life continues. The Soviet-era concept of hypernormalization can help when dysfunction is the status quo

“What you are feeling is the disconnect between seeing that systems are failing, that things aren’t working … and yet the institutions and the people in power just are ignoring it and pretending everything is going to go on the way that it has" www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

Since Reconstruction...

Just imagine the IT capability of such an island!

We always imagine fascism being enforced through physical violence. For us non-immigrants it will be enforced through financial violence.

"I maintain mechs"

"Cool, what's that look like?"

One thing that all this governmental insanity proves, is just how malleable our social structures can be. If we get a chance to rebuild there's no more argument that changes such as universal healthcare are too large or disruptive to status quo to be attempted.

Not just people. Cameras. Cameras everywhere!

I never want to hear the words "norms" and "tradition" described as a guardrail against the depravity of human greed and ambition ever again.

The balls of Orkney Library & Archive in the sunshine. The sky is blue.

Today is the first day of spring and it's good to have the sun on our balls again. 🌞

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen

Can you believe all these immigrants that are taking over the streets today? There's no green in the American flag! We don't want your foreign culture influencing our children with your lucky charms. President Trump, you know what to do. Deport the Irish!

Are we not going to talk about how hilarious it is that there's a MyPillow MEGA SALE ad next to the president as he declares that the free press is illegal?

Lololol @samseder.bsky.social has to very slowly explain to this dude that government agencies don't pay taxes lolol

"We have always been at war with Canada"

So much blinking. Maybe she's trying to plead for rescue in morse-code?

“We taught this monkey to understand Trumps tariff policy and he hanged himself”

Current Mood

Did you watch that Zelenskyy video today? The sad reality is that was probably our generation's moon landing. Not as an achievement, but as a recorded moment when the earth's population witnessed the course of their entire civilization profoundly change in real-time.
