dudes really watched Gattaca & said “yeah let’s do THAT”

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

don’t worry, they’ll pass the savings from not hiring humans on to the customers!

…LOLOLOLOL jk they’ll keep it for themselves.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

What a great headline

pretty sure the rusty pick is the place I got mine from, too 😝

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

the treason is coming from inside the (white) house.

Companies ignore when their employees are harassed because standing up for them could affect their bottom line, because a sect of gamers cherish harassing those they deem other. Ignoring that behavior and then caving to their obscene demands keeps the industry firmly in their claws.

nice. here’s mine from ‘09. 😂

that would only work if something other than “income” (a minuscule fraction of billionaire’s wealth) was taxed

(next to a crossed out Home Depot logo) “Home Depot has allowed its parking lots to become ground zero for ICE raids on immigrant day laborers, and its billionaire co-founder Bernie Marcus has funneled millions into Trump's campaigns.” (next to a crossed out Target logo) “Target, which once branded itself as the friendly, inclusive big-box store, has now scrapped its DEl goals and scaled back LGBTQ+ offerings to avoid angering the regime.” (next to a crossed out Amazon logo) “Amazon didn't just shower Trump's inauguration with cash -- Jeff Bezos' company pitched facial-recognition tools to ICE and powers the Palantir systems ICE uses to track and deport immigrants, making Amazon a core contractor for the regime's deportation machine.”

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

so classic I have this saved on my phone 🔥

its so crazy that young people became less interested in movies & tv at the same time weird tech guys mostly started deciding what gets made

fake pic, the cybertruck is not on fire (even despite the rain) 😝

careful—it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the bottom 😝

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

My latest piece has a short section that offers a great example of how online reactionaries take off running with wildly inaccurate theories and conspiracies, no matter how small.

Not long after Ghost of Yotei was announced, the GG crowd sensed a new online obsession and began dogpiling on it.

time to change your profile name to ハンク・グリーン 😂

speaking as someone without a book OR 1M+ followers, I think you, as someone who already has the latter, will probably be fine sticking to a similar formula on the former. 😅

ND or not, parents need to stop exploiting their kids for content. period.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

the right hand on his left arm is a nice touch 😂

define “wealthy”. cuz $100k, or even $1M, is WAY closer to 0 than to $100B.

photo of a karaoke screen, on the chorus of Maniac by Michael Sembello. there is katakana ruby above the English words and footage of a statue in the background. instead of the correct lyrics “she’s a maniac, maniac at your door” it reads “she’s a maniac, maniac action lord”

found the pic 😂

AOC on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's surprise resignation from Congress: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

And now a word from AOC.

wow this is even better than “she’s a maniac, maniac ACTION LORD” 🤣
