ACA = “Obamacare”. Same thing. Its proof that many white folks would rather shoot off their own foot if they knew something helped a black or latino person get by too. Its no different from how they used to fill public pools with cement during integration resulting in everyone being hot & miserable.

Somebody was mean to Marc Andreessen on Twitter and he got so mad he decided to deploy all the resources at his disposal to destroy our civilization

Love this exhibition of little wooden Japanese dolls from the mid 1900s, very good low poly energy..funny little dudes are culturally evergreen!

Android list feature that at the bottom write now has an AI feature saying 'help create a list' I also drew a red angry face above it

Oh my fucken god

IF I WANT TO MAKE A LIST I ALREADY KNOW WHAT MY LIST IS

I DONT NEED HELP WRITING MY LIST

Go figure out how to fix global food distribution or something (no wait sorry your AI is too stupid and billionaires are blocking us from actual solutions)

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.

If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."

And if you can't do either?

Woman from a garment worker union at a parade to see Jimmy Carter.

You in fact can't talk about the history of the labor movement without talking about multi-ethnic coalitions. The International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union was initially composed of Jewish and Italian immigrants, but later grew to Black, Puerto Rican, Chinese, and Filipino workers.

A tattered red bandana from that period.

The coal miners lost that 1921 battle, but they also laid the groundwork for future labor gains. The Battle of Blair Mountain became a rallying point for labor rights in Appalachia, catalyzing the United Mine Workers of America. The red bandana also stood for multi-ethnic class solidarity.

A drawing of coal miners wearing red bandanas.

In this moment, coal miners turned their red bandanas into a symbol of solidarity — both to distinguish themselves from the enemy and to show that, across racial lines, coal miners were united along class interests

For this reason, they were known as the "Redneck Army."

Early 20th century headline reads: Race War in Coal Fields is Imminent.

At the time, coal operators and their political allies conspired to pit workers against each other along racial lines. They segregated housing and work assignments; used Black and immigrant workers as strikebreakers; and tried to discredit organizers as “socialists” or tools of a "Negro uprising."

Zohran Mamdani caught publishing guides for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles that are mainly based off of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions and contain information for WotL-exclusive features like the beloved "Agrias' Birthday" side quest without clarification.

I'm not sure If I ever shared this here as a gif - but its neat so take a look

A Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story. First panel: Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“ Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!” Second panel: Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!” Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!” Third panel: Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!” Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!” Fourth panel: Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!” Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).

Last year, you donated a signed Mamma Mia! record for a fundraiser for humanitarian aid to Palestine. Was that a politically fraught decision for you? No. In Sweden, I protested even before they went into Gaza. Before October 7? Right after, when they started talking about flattening Gaza, about sending them to Africa, and other things. The thing was that you knew what was going to happen. Because since 1948, they’ve been doing the same thing. If the Palestinians kill one, they’ll kill ten. Plus they’ll bulldoze the home of the family and friends. We were afraid that they would go in and try to flatten Gaza. One of the Swedish papers had a big article with a picture of me saying that I was supporting antisemitism. The usual. But every night, I think about it. Every night.

also no qualms about supporting palestine

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

This is not a scientific report. It is a self congratulatory press release around how much better ChatGPT-5 is at responding to mental health concerns (as defined by OpenAI).

OpenAI is neither a research nor clinical institution. It is a company trying to build a financially successful product.

Strengthening ChatGPT’s responses in sensitive conversations We worked with more than 170 mental health experts to help ChatGPT more reliably recognize signs of distress, respond with care, and guide people toward real-world support–reducing responses that fall...

OpenAI put out a press release today addressing mental health concerns. I have many issues with it, but something super troubling:

They estimate a WEEKLY prevalence of 560,000 users displaying signs of psychosis or mania and 1.2 MILLION users indicating suicidal plan/intent.

impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.

I’ve set up a recurring donation with mine. Even $5 a month can help a lot—usually way more than we, who don’t buy in bulk, could buy in equivalent.
