I grew up into someone with agency. I drive from parking lot to parking lot in the dark. I see my friends. We go to parking lots. We drive past data centers and paramilitaries and fence after fence after fence. Free to watch the world blossom with smoke and bear our gray fruit

every time I do a thread like this about a good election result I get a whole lot of “don’t get ahead of yourself, we still gotta make sure people are motivated for November” replies/quotes and while I understand the sentiment you know what gets people motivated?

winning! let yourself get excited!

Vince and Linda McMahon file oppositions to ring boy plaintiffs' request to maintain anonymity in lawsuit - POST Wrestling | Podcasts, News, Reviews | WWE AEW NXT NJPW McMahons say "John Doe" anonymity will unfairly hinder their ability to find witnesses to clear them. WWE takes no position on pseudonyms.

It's largely been lost in the chaos of the last month, but Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is trying to doxx the John Does who sued her for (allegedly) allowing them to be raped by grown men when they were kids and (allegedly) covering it up

@brandonthurston.bsky.social has a write-up:

🧵! saw this early bluesky days, sharing this time! i encourage anyone interested in direct action or revolution in general to read through this thread with yr critical thinking & strategic hats on. if you can suspend propriety as defined by society, you might see if what's inside aligns with reality

lots of people (on Both Sides™) had fun with Trump's “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison” debate line without stopping to think, even for one second, about the humanity of the actual people involved

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

This must drive Vance, a poster’s poster, totally insane.

I mean on one hand he's always been like this, on the other "always" probably means post a a fair few concussions.

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

IDK what to say except if the future youre fighting for isnt one that provides space and accomodations for the most disabled and marginalized people in the world, than you arent fighting for The Greater Good, youre fighting for a Flavor of Eugenics.

I still can't beleive Assata died.

Some really solid advice here.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Everyone in this picture looks like a character from the Bioshock universe

How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

The thing about saying that genAI will enable the marginalized to create art is that not only is it not true, literally just fucking look at art and music and writing,

but it is saying that a handful of rich pedophiles should be allowed to control whether marginalized people can produce art.

Here is a thing:

There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

Either they're telling the truth, which calls into question why they have no interest in doing anything about it, or they're lying.

He just wants that "oh my god its neil gaiman" money, that "he's a sex pest and I like that" money, that "separate the art from the artist" money.

If neil was actually interested in the sanctity of art rather than keeping his wallet well lined, he'd release under a pseudonym (and actually try to keep it hidden) but he's not.

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

Screenshot of a Bitcoin market summary showing the price at $63,690.12 USD, down $9,328.93 (−12.78%) today. A one-day line chart trends steadily downward from around $73,000 earlier in the day to near $63,700 by evening, with several small rebounds before a sharp drop late in the day. The timestamp reads Feb 5, 8:31 PM UTC, and options for different time ranges (1D, 5D, 1M, etc.) appear above the chart.

Bitcoin is completely collapsing right now.

Its distressing how deep the lede was buried when I first learned about it. Its all "what incredible world building" "look at that art" "they're making a live action remake!" "Its won all these awards" ........oh and the creator is definitely a sex pest, but all the naked kids are worth it, promise.

Oh.

This is amazing.

I do not and will never care what a deflated pedophile whose house of cards is five seconds from falling on top of him has to say.
