For disability reasons, it's been somewhat rare that I make it out to actual picket lines when they happen, or that I would hold a sign (my hands are usually on my crutches), but thanks to @rattusrose.bsky.social, I was able to commission what I would look like out there

It's so interesting that the AI boosters have popped up asking if Bluesky is ready to accept the good word of prophet Sam Altman yet, at the EXACT time that the timeline is lit up with the "OpenAI says they can't be blamed for driving a teen to suicide because the TOS says you can't kill yourself"

I'm calling it now: it's only a matter of time where we get labor case law in the US about the usage of limiting chat and subsequently emoji, as a form of worker organizing suppression.

Ohhhh, this whole time I thought people seeing Wicked: For Good were going to see a version of Wicked, but it's actually good? I had no idea it was a part 2, I thought they just went "man, we made a real stinker huh? Let's try that again"

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

Really clear messaging from the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. At this point, it's not going to convince a ton of people to start masking, but it may encourage folks who already mask to keep it up - & it may remind others that masking is an expert-recommended NPI, not a weird obsession.

I keep hoping every time that someone at Bungie is going to go "it's not enough for the sandbox to be good, the sandbox, the rewards, and the activities need to be good" and we've been stuck in this cycle of 2 out of 3 of those for a while and I'm tired, Traveler.
Learn about how a selection of Exotic Armor for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks will be changing when Destiny 2: Renegades launches on December 2.

Does anyone else think about @garre.tt's "Forever's Not So Long"? I feel like it comes up in my brain on a semi-regular basis and it reminds me of how cool Vimeo was for discovering stuff like it once upon a time. The staff curation was incredible vimeo.com/3568757

I'm finally intending to develop the habit of sending Christmas cards to loved ones this year. It would be neat if I could find some cards online I could buy that would be super lovely and support an artist directly. Anyone know of anything I could look into? I'd probably want a couple dozen at most
