Itβs been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why theyβre doing anything, and itβs terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

Investors are fleeing BlackRock and BlackRock won't let investors take their money. We have our first bank panic of the Second Great Depression.

humans are very easily tricked into believing words are alive, because we mostly think in language. We build our sense of self out of words.
Thatβs why no one thinks the image generators have consciousness.
It really feels like theyβve gone and done something that canβt be rolled back to fix public perception.
Gasoline is close to six dollars a gallon in Sacramento. It will be on the way to seven next week.

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".
A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.
It actually kicks ass how much the people who run this site hate the people who use it. Just constant seething meltdowns over having to put up with a bunch of artists, furries, and trans people instead of crypto-hustlers and AI guys making Linkedin-tier posts. I'm glad they're miserable, frankly
Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.
Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.
dude fuck you, read the room, free Link, reinstate Kezos, and kick Jesse fucking Singal off this platform dickface
Aaron suspended me for telling him to "keep posting through it" after he mocked the wife of a kidnapped immigrant.
But yeah, the user base is the problem. My God you all suck ass.
Aaron suspended me for βharassmentβ for telling him to resign after he mocked the wife of a man who had been kidnapped by ICE. We arenβt βconspiracy-brainedβ, weβre witnessing your corruption firsthand.
i wonder why people have questions about the moderation process here. it must be the users who are wrong.
if you were to write a prophecy of the future back in 2000 that "in 2026, President Donald John Trump has launched a war on Iran with Israel after previously attempting a coup to stay in power in 2020", people would think you've gone insane
it actually worked.
ok
(1) All ravens are black.
Implication: If something is a raven, then it is black.
Contraposition:
(2) If something is not black, then it is not a raven.
In all circumstances where (2) is true, (1) is also true
In all circumstances where (2) is false, (1) is also false.
oh
that actually worked?
ok hey y'all
this doesn't take into account the surge in oil prices which are already making everything more expensive
I love when inanimate things have their own autonomy. Who did the slurs, the words, the bombs? Not important, these objects are VERBING.
I get people having varied opinions on AI, but I do not understand this post at all. AI tools absolutely do not make us more independent from big business. Literally the largest businesses in the world are AI companies.
Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.
