Today I learned here in Portland teachers are being asked to either take 3 furlough days or cut 170 full time teaching positions. My son is in a blended class of 4/5th graders because they didn’t have enough money for another teacher. Fuck off

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

"Citing people who are homeless can land them in jail because some lack cellphones or an address where they can receive notices by mail. This is a barrier to appearing in court, leading to a warrant for their arrest. ... [T]heir case can result in additional warrants."

A modern phenomenon I hate is hearing a smart person you respect[ed] go on and on in awe about a very basic thing AI did.

A fluffy white cat reclines in a modern white lounge chair, lying on its back with its front paws resting on its belly and back legs stretched out. The cat looks relaxed and content, as if lounging like a person in the sunlight near a window.

Good, I see the council is assembled. We have mews from the outer rim to discuss.

This should be hideously embarrassing for Mayor Wilson and the "shelter bed cardboard novelty thermometer" community but I'm starting to think they do not experience shame.

SA’s biggest data centre β€˜monster’ set to consume 25% of Durban’s electricity Durban is pressing ahead with plans to build a massive 400MW artificial intelligence data centre in partnership with a South Korean power consortium. It would be South Africa’s biggest digital data ce...

Hard to overstate how bad this is.
South Africa gets 80% of its electricity from coal.

If they do manage to build enough renewable capacity for this, then why not the rest of the country?

Also, Durban may be wet, but as a country SA is rushing toward Day 0 water.

VPNs have been so heavily marketed as tools for privacy or accessing the larger libraries of overseas streaming services that some politicians have forgotten that their primary use is remote workers accessing resources on corporate networks

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Who wants to help two disabled people get their car back?

Our car was just repo’d because we still owe $9k on it. We’ve been waiting for 2 years for my partner to get her disability claim processed.

We can barely afford rent with our mother-in-law.

I work as a pharmacy tech. This is hell.

For Black women with Tourette syndrome, long-standing invisibility meets viral attention Their journey to diagnosis is often marked by doubt and confusion, which have not abated as a controversy from an awards show ceremony continues to unfold.

Oh, I have been waiting for this piece. The BAFTAs generated a whole mess and tons of stigma and hurtful stereotypes about Tourette's. @slooterman.bsky.social interviews Black women with Tourette's around it.

Chouchou Lazare, le styliste gabonais qui transforme le raphia en trésor de la mode Des fibres de raphia sèchent au soleil sur le balcon de l'atelier du styliste gabonais Chouchou Lazare à Libreville. Cette matière naturelle, extraite des feuilles de palmiers, est la marque de fabrique du créateur, qui imagine les femmes dans ses défilés comme "des reines".

Who COULDN’T use some good news? β€˜ Scientists with the Yurok Tribe say that two of dozens of condors released to the wild in Humboldt County since 2022, to reestablish the endangered birds, have paired up, built a nest in a redwood tree and appear to be tending to an egg.”

CMS announces pause on new durable medical equipment suppliers The Trump administration issued a nationwide moratorium on new suppliers for certain medical equipment, citing fraud.

They’re trying to ratfuck us again. Slipping in changes to gut safe routes to school, Amtrak and bike/pedestrian Stone Age. Republicans want to turn us into a dying state with no services. We have to fight back

Please fill out testimony tonight if you can. A simple oppose to what’s in this post
