Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Make Philly proud, my friends.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Married women who have changed their names — get a passport now if you can. Even if you never plan to travel out of the country. If this trash passes — it is my understanding that a passport in your married name is sufficient ID for voting.

The SAVE Act is specifically designed to disenfranchise a ton of American women. Let us recall how many of the techbros now infiltrating the American government, like Peter Thiel, believe that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

things like this actually matter a lot and if you contribute to a pension fund you should voice your concern about investments if they are invested in the same companies

Fed workers, incl. those fired or under threat at various agencies that do everything from run national parks to warn residents about impending floods raised the alarm at dozens of #SaveOurServices rallies around the country Wednesday. Our editor Jenny Brown reports: labornotes.org/2025/02/fede...

He's gonna fuck up every single independent creator who depends on the mail for their business. Call your reps and tell them you didn't vote for Trump to destroy your business. reps.fyi

Taste is subjective etc etc but I worry we're at the stage where people are unable to tell the difference between good and bad. I promise you I gave Palworld a chance, I went in with an open mind, and it's absolute dogwater. As cynical as video games get.

If anyone uses Libby and has difficulty finding queer authors, this program links to your Libby account and has a library specifically for queer titles I got it and was able to find books I couldn’t find online or at my used book store so I thought I’d share with yall www.queerliberationlibrary.org

is this bad?

Received this message via Signal from a former FAA worker who lost their job. Person works for Enroute Navigation Charts for Pilots and Air Traffic Control.

Or, and hear me out, don't use genAI in your lit reviews. My god.

"Airlines sue to have the right to break your legs without consequence." Cos that's what breaking someone's wheelchair does.

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Favorite paragraph from this:

Something to remember: ppl who don't draw are often inexperienced in observing and commenting on art. They try to connect w/ it on familiar grounds, which means relating it to something they know and understand. Often, people relating your work to other things is them trying to relate to it in turn.

It's rolling out!!!

Never forget that black trans people threw the first bricks at Stonewall, and led the charge for our rights Dont let these fucks erase that. Remember our history

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...

Jeep owners are reporting pop-up ads on their dashboards. Drivers say the ads are from Jeep, asking them if they want an extended car warranty when they come to a stop. They close out the ads, but claim they pop up again at the next stop. kotaku.com/jeep-owners-...

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

I have been doing some reading 🗡️ [ #gideontheninth #thelockedtomb ]

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people

Update: 15 confirmed cases. Health officials are racing to offer vaccines to unvaccinated children, they're operating a mobile unit to screen for cases, pre-treating exposed infants. Schools & hospitals are on alert. Measles outbreaks are v hard to contain. A totally preventable situation.

Please remember that being sex positive and consent go hand-in-hand!!! chiming in bc a lot of nsfw has landed on my timeline untagged and even people who are good with nsfw don’t want to see it all the time (see: at work/campus). Bsky has robust show/warn/hide settings, let people decide!

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

Apparently Lily Orchard is rebranding to "CD-Call". Don't let her trick you. This rebrand is not a change of her behavior or morals. She's desperately trying to cover up and save face in the wake of Joon's video exposing so much about her.

I know there's been years of disinfo downplaying the flu in order to dismiss COVID as a threat, but both things cause serious illness and are best avoided. This flu wave is no joke. It's a good idea to get this season's flu vaccine (it's not too late), and wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

Literal Andrew Jackson backed off that position because he realized it would tear the Union apart, and he threatened to invade South Carolina over nullification a couple years later

I had this idea and figured it would exist already but couldn't find it, and I have an unearned sense of my graphic design abilities in powerpoint, so

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

People might want to pass this around if it's not widely known... "Animal shelters, rescues, and veterinarian clinics around the U.S. are ...telling pet owners to check their pets' microchips after learning a major microchip company is no longer providing services." www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/n...

If you’re choosing generative AI over human creativity and labor I judge you and I don’t like you.

THIS.

Good day to call the reps (like every day)

You can tell how great these AI products are by how much they have to keep sneaking them into our devices without our knowledge
