Ian just vindicated my DRAAAAAINED-ness by reminding me that the PAMLA conference in SF, while fucking incredible, was *work,* so I kinda worked nonstop for 5 days + 2 days of cross-country travel.
then I came back for class then had TONS of work to do so I really only got Thanksgiving day off

As we brace for the launch “Swamp Sweep” tomorrow, meet at Lafayette Square to take the streets against Border Patrol and ICE. We demand justice for our immigrant neighbors. This action is one of solidarity and inclusion across different view points and theories of change- and ALL are welcome!

I just moved to Ohio and I'm afraid that given a few more months I'm pretty sure I can
Can someone explain to me how some of the country's poorest states with some of the lowest ranking public schools can afford to pay their collegiate head football coaches tens of millions of dollars a year in salaries plus bonuses?

hellllllp I spent a week being a respected academic with an ACTIVE SOCIAL LIFE in San Francisco and then I spent a week off work mostly just eating
asking me to become a human who can do a job and be productive starting this week is an impossible demand and the notion that I must concede is unjust

It really sucks that independent music platforms are so beholden to corporate and political bullshit. I started on mp3 dot com in 2000 and saw a glorious future of unmediated art sharing as the internet grew freely, though tbh I was irritated with the ads on that platform early on.

Still working on getting the last 4 of my releases removed from Spotify (I requested then taken down back in July; CDBaby has maybe 1 employee currently).
Just a few years ago I was bragging about my Spotify stats, proud that people actually want to listen to me. Unfortunately, never again.

If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.
Spotify is running ads to recruit for the regime’s secret police. Stop paying for or using Spotify until the ICE ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Creativity is a process.
It's. A. PROCESS.
If you don't love the process, that's okay. However, you can't skip that and still call it creativity or art.
There's no debate here. No dissembling. The end result—the product—of creativity isn't the defining characteristic.
Period.

I am a dev and I dislike AI because
•it cannot operate without stolen data
•it does not work reliably
•it lies all the time
•it is terribly inefficient
•it pollutes
•it is/was oversold
•the biggest frauds champion it
•the people behind it are psychos
none of these are unreasonable complaints
