I want to live in a world where "the economy" (i.e., everything) is controlled by regular people collectively making decisions about the things that affect them, not by unaccountable institutions and corporations that only serve the ultra-wealthy and powerful.

PSA: Look, you can come into my mentions being all smug about Newsom but several things can be true at once. The man is a shitty authoritarian w/no ethical compass & is making a load of bad policy decisions that hurt real people, right now, in his state.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

people who built bsky:
-trans women (bsky protects jesse singal)
-Black users (bsky allows rampant antiBlack racism)
-SWers (bsky to implement hostile age verification in UK)
-organizers and activists (bsky autodeletes anyone in gaza with a pulse)
-artists (bsky dev says AI has rights lmao)

Five years ago today, we authored the Great Barrington Declaration, arguing for focused protection instead of lockdowns. A wholehearted thank you to the almost one million co-signers. We were proven right.

The Great Barrington Dec. aka the β€œlet covid rip” policy, legitimated the death of over a million Americans, is disabling of tens of millions more, & failed to achieve its own instrumental goal, ending the pandemic. It did succeed hwvr in gutting public health & eroding public trust in science

It’d be nice to have a single place on the internet where black people or trans people or indigenous people or any queer people can simply exist free from tech doofuses and power-mad Karens with nothing on the ball but heads full of air but thats too much like right, I guess

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

Elliott's hand is holding a paperback copy of Larry Mitchell's queer masterpiece, The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions. The cover is bright red with black curly text and a surreal illustration of some beautiful faggots at the top of the cover.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

remember fam, when the dems talk about moving right to "win voters" they're not talking about you, they're talking about the rich right wing fascists who buy elections! hope that helps!
