A world completely divided upon racial and ethnic lines where every country is entirely homogeneous and there's no intermarriage or interfaith, intercultural, or interracial exchange sounds like a fucking dystopian hellscape and the fact that people think that's a GOOD idea is completely beyond me

Imagine the following: a flock of pigeons on the grass pecking at seeds. 6 feet away is a tabby with bowed legs looking intently at them, with their owner scratching them and saying "no, don't bother, you don't catch them, come on, up the stairs with you"

My friend, the doctor, says right now everyone is getting sick. My friend, the teacher, says right now everyone is using AI. My friend, the activist, says right now everyone is giving up. My friends, oh my friends, right now we must not be everyone.

That line from Keats— ”The point of diving into a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore, but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water“ — goes round in my head when I read about the latest ways in which people are ceding the pleasure of reading & thought to AI. Be in the lake!

This is what is grinding me into such a paste. Learning, thinking, processing ideas, solving problems, and making connections are the absolute best thing about being homo sapiens. They are destroying the literal joy and purpose of being human.

Food, water, shelter, heat, power, medicine, education, internet. These 8 things, in a world of such abundance, should be unconditionally available to all. Everyone is just trying to exist as they are and live as they choose. Respect everyone but the bigots.

I have a crazy idea what if we abolish private property and wage labor so certain people can’t be vastly more more wealthy than other people through economic exploitation and then buy power with that money to influence politics and the media

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

It's hard to put into words the anxiety folks are feeling. As an appreciation for everyone pushing through it, and many of us doing as much as we can, some more than anyone should have to, here's a bluesky exclusive of killdeer chicks seeking safe harbor under their parent. #birds 🐣
