I think this is an old video but it’s work the re-up. If my pilot ever says, “yeah I’m not feeling this one, folks. Sorry. We need to get a different plane,” I’m saying, “thank you, pilot. Can I buy you lunch?”

It got so annoying last time around that I am just not entertaining these type of reply guys in the year of our lord 2025.

typing "how to suggest to my family that we stockpile some non-perishables & gas masks & stuff just in case these monsters escalate even more without sounding like a paranoid conspiracy nut" into google before going back and adding "fucking" to the search so it doesn't give me a shitty ai summary

What Donald Trump is allowing Elon Musk and his DOGE team to do is not an audit. It is a coup. This an incredibly dangerous moment—and it is all the more dangerous if people don’t understand what is happening. https://youtu.be/jrE0DOEcbRE

The horrors are persisting and my focus is off the charts in a negative way, but I remembered just in time for a late lunch that tiger toast exists as a concept, so the day isn’t a complete loss.

Trying to write this past few days has been like pulling teeth barehanded. When there haven't been distractions at the house, the ongoing horrors have destroyed my ability to focus. Suffice it to say, I still have a lot of work to do and will not be seeing Total Recall on a big screen tonight :(

This is truly the dashcon of technological “innovation”

At least the LA sky is pretty

way ahead of you, buddy

A.I. is a tool of oppression & erasure. Please stop enriching oligarchs by using it for your Blue Resistance memes. Just draw stick figures & use alt-text.

Bsky's LA earthquake game still has a ways to go before we're back up to pre-2022 twitter quality. I didn't feel the jolt at all and was ready to believe my wife had imagined it for a full minute before I saw anyone else talking about it. (Sorry I doubted you Zel 😅)

I’m feeding my bro & sis-in-law’s cat for them while they’re away for a couple of days. Today I got this shot of him as he practiced the noble art of Looming.

Making a deal with my future self that if I finish writing this draft by Monday afternoon I'm allowed to go to this week's dystopian film at the Culver Theater 🤝

The Washington Post refers to “a clash between the White House and the AP” when in fact it’s the White House unilaterally punishing a news outlet for using a historical place name that would-be dictator Trump doesn’t like. “Clash,” my ass. It’s a fascist attack on the free press.

wait am i getting this right that some people thing "DEI" means nepo? when the two actually totally diametrically opposed? folks, it really is just not knowing/propaganda. as someone whose Native and have had to *legit* my whole life help undoctrinate those around me, do the work (if you can)

ok but like, how are we getting any work done. i'm trying to tippy tap away at my silly little keyboard but every fifteen minutes or so the new stupidest thing anyone's ever done happens.

Tracked down and turned off all the automatically activated gemini bullshit on my google accounts yesterday, and now I have a million “welcome to gemini” emails in my inboxes. Reporting them all as spam. Hope the ai fucking eats itself.

Seriously. Even if you are a sitting MOC and truly believe your hands are tied on procedure (they're not), get out there and help people. It's why you said you wanted the goddamned job. Handing out food to those in need. School supplies, toiletries, and yes, fucking eggs. Make a difference. Help.

It's going to be more important than ever to avoid police when people are in crisis. Here's a useful list that includes crisis hotlines and warm lines that do not contact police: translifeline.org/resources/co...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I don’t want to read his tweets I want to read his obituary

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

TURN HIS TV OFF

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

This is a quote from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT that was made into a protest sign, seen below, by Indivisible St Louis in 2019.

ME: *sits at desk and works* Just focus. Just focus. Don't look around. Do NOT look around. THE NEWS:

This is very exciting, though remember this blocks transmission not infection. So it will stop folks passing the virus to you, but it won’t stop you from getting the virus from someone who has not had this vaccine. When this becomes available we need to encourage everyone in our lives to get it!

Yes. “People are doing things. You will meet them when YOU start doing things.” Lots of information and resources in this one. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

This is not a sentence that should make you go, "Aw, man, IF ONLY," and yet...

Still not over Uncle Sam mocking the critique of Black music and culture as uncivilized and ghetto and then doubling down by saying America appreciates calm and peace, the exact moment Kendrick turned the whole thing around. And with the white supremacist in chief in attendance? Masterful.

When Kendrick said hey Drake and smiled at the camera I screamed laughed in a way I didn’t think possible. #superbowl

There have to be computer engineers and developers working at Apple and Microsoft and Google who hate all this AI shit as much as the rest of us. Seems like a good time to try and establish a major competitor that doesn’t use it at all. I’d switch over so goddamn fast.

Our office has heard from so many of you who are concerned about the actions taken by Trump, DOGE, and Elon Musk over the past few weeks. We get it and this is not normal. Here’s how we are fighting back 👇

⚡️ The historic moment of Estonia leaving the Russian-fed power grid. On February 8, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia left Russia and Belarus energy system. By the end of the day today, they will have joined the European grid.

The NYT has been, and will continue to be, an active collaborator in the attacks on trans rights and publishing an editorial distancing themselves from the damage while doubling down on the lies and half-truths is worse than silence.

Any Dem congressperson could round up a few friendly and alarmed FBI agents right now and go arrest Musk’s gang of children. “Just fucking do it and see what happens” is a stronger move for the side that is upholding the law.

Well, I'm gonna need every single website to state its AI usage upfront on a splash page so I can Abe Simpson my way back out the door before I inadvertently interact with any of it.
