What if AI actually gives us our time back? Progressives are great at AI guardrails but we're not talking about the genuinely good futures enough. More time for family, creativity, rest - that should be OUR vision.

This is exactly the shit that makes this platform absolutely insufferable
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500
And this
bsky.app/profile/sky....
Somehow I’m just in this bubble where every post is like “we can’t have a reasonable discussion about [this thing]” and 25 people will respond saying “the people who are in favor of [that thing] are ALL unreasonable simps for [evil people].”
I get zero value out of scrolling my feed on Bsky and often have to close the app in under 3 minutes just because of the intolerable dogpiling and performative contradiction.
Considering deleting my account here. I was hopeful this would be “the better Twitter” but the discourse here has got to be the most shrill, annoying, high-horse nonsense I’ve ever seen — and that’s coming from someone who works in the progressive space, loves it dearly, and never wants to leave it.
They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
GM: Charisma check.
Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]
GM: that’s a d6 how did you
Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊
Did they not ask for any promises with this? Contractual agreements? Like...??!
Zero credibility like 3 paragraphs in.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
If you're a progressive who's excited about AI, but you're concerned about the environmental, diversity, labor, and disinformation effects, you'll like the newsletter I just started as I launch Progressives for AI! Check out the full first issue: progressivesforai.beehiiv.com/p/newsletter...
Extremely poorly worded and it’s in the title, the subheadings, and the first paragraph. Bad reporting.
imagine writing a phrase like “disproportionately estrogenized” and not reconsidering your whole life.
starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited
Bahaha this is so good
OMG YES

Another reminder: Privatization of government institutions is a mistake which has been proven again and again. www.rosalux.de/en/news/id/5...
For journalists and progressives alike, when we talk about #AI & #datacenters, some important reminders from @andymasley.bsky.social. (e.g.- golf courses use way more water than data centers.)
andymasley.substack.com/p/requests-f...
Bar chart comparing U.S. daily water use (billions of gallons): Mining ~4.0; household indoor leaks ~2.5; golf courses ~1.5; data centers (onsite+offsite) ~0.2; AI in data centers ~0.0. Takeaway: data centers—especially AI—use far less water than other categories.
AI water usage is so small when compared to golf courses and mining operations, you can't even see it on a chart. www.understandingai.org/p/16-charts-...
Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.
The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.
Why doesn't any journalist just ask Elon Musk how he got into Naziism and what he likes about it? His ensuing freakout will bring in about 1000x as many views as any stupid interview with him would.
My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.
Wow, the unhinged replies to this thread are a great cross-section of AI denialism!
I don’t understand why @bsky.app doesn’t have a language filter (that works). What value does seeing posts in other languages have to me? They just take up space on my timeline.
I keep getting tricked into "trying" new cold brew concoctions only to constantly be 😝 by how bitter they are. Blegh, who enjoys this?!
This explains so much about #StudenLoanForgiveness, #UniversalBasicIncome, #HousingFirst, etc.:
