You're walking home from the gym when you're stopped by FBI officers in an unmarked car. They handcuff you, even though you tell them you're a US citizen.
Then, they scan your face.

I do sex work and ask for MA because crushing my debt is my key to get out of a conservative, labor intensive work environment that isn't queer friendly, and opening the door to transition. Please help me make some kind of progress! 🙏

Damn this video of a observer/protester climbing a ladder to hand blanket to the construction worker who was surrounded by ICE.

I wish there was truth, in terms of both practicality and intent, in the periodic claims of tech idiots that we're just weeks away from manned flights to Mars. I want them to fuck off to Mars forever.

The reason folks are focusing on DHS's refusal to honor Real IDs is that it means that the Trump regime is asserting the right to detain anyone in America, resident or visitor, without probable cause. It's an erasure of habeas corpus for all Americans.

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

I try to stay humble and realize that not all my takes on gender may be true or correct. But there’s one thing that sits at the core that never goes away:
People know who they are. They know their own experiences better than anyone else.
Everything else follows from that.

What's ominous is all of the trusted women of color who know a lot about AI are saying that a crash is on the way and the white guys are pretending they are taking it to the moon. This means that a crash is definitely on its way.

Bluesky trust and safety is such a fucking joke, Aaron is such a hack and in any reasonable company would have been fired as his department consistently stumbles from one failure to another. Instead everything on this place continues to get worse as they enable the worst and abandon the best posters
in case anyone was wondering wtf happened to @thelouvreof.bsky.social/Louvre of Bluesky: the creator got doxxed, bsky did nothing, and they decided to go out in a blaze of glory

Is there a block list circulating for Guardian and BBC reporters' accounts like there was for all the US government accounts? I would like that a great deal.

Here's a perfect example of spin: An idiot filed a vexatious lawsuit and got her ass crawled for it, as usually happens when idiots file vexatious lawsuits. And now, for entirely ideological reasons, a cohort of """"""journalists"""""" are trying to make the idiot's unambiguous loss look like a win.

occasionally, since the observer split, i think 'maybe the guardian is trying not to be so transphobic'. then i wake up to them framing a bigot losing her vexatious tribunal as a win and a reason to implement segregation.

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious
Every ad for AI is like
Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!!
AI: get sock
Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this
