Oh yeah or a Jr dev who's super smart but hasn't seen enough pain to know they're about to touch a hot stove.

I've been treating these LLMs as if I'm pairing with a dev who might not have enough context or experience not to go down hard to maintain paths. It's been super helpful if I ride along with them and keep tabs on the broad strokes at least.

Given that the whole point is to keep escalating the violence, this is the most effective form of protest. It undermines their narrative of a "violent mob", and every time they try to escalate, they'll just look goofy as hell beating a bunch of inflatable animals.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

If there's one piece of art that will survive, and tell the story of our time, this is it... it's the most perfect depiction of where we are in history that I've seen to date and it's the most powerful

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Fascism is here, it’s just not evenly distributed. Both documented & undocumented immigrants are definitely deleting their socials and keeping heads down at the risk of being disappeared.

While the average white American citizen isn’t being oppressed by the government. It doesn’t mean no one is.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 9d

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

“Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision has been followed by significant price hikes and layoffs, harming both gamers and developers…as we’ve seen across sectors, increasing market consolidation and increasing prices often go hand-in-hand.” - Lina Khan, former head of the FTC

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Not "Fuck ICE" or "Death to ICE", you know something that makes sense, but "Anti ICE" lol. The FBI is really bad at this, but maybe it doesn't even matter anymore.

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow.

This is an important victory for free speech.

Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself.

Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

There are over 700,000 H1-B visa holders in the United States.

If you include dependents, the total is 1.3 million people.

There are going to be people denied entry to the US tomorrow for not paying $100,000 with zero notice.

Who does this benefit?

There is so much GamerGate energy in American politics and culture today. I’d never have guessed that was going to be the blueprint for what living in America would be like in 2025.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now
