I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

this encapsulates what all of this administration is about. they aren’t “accidentally” destroying departments. they are intentionally destroying the government so they can become the government. the only issue they have with the system is they don’t profit from it or control it

I’m not necessarily saying humans are too dumb to be worthy of our spot at the top of the food chain but I will say that if there were 100 gorillas and one gorilla took 55% of all the bananas the other gorillas would beat that gorilla to death with their bare hands.

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

Montreal will continue the largest pedestrian street program in North America, committing $12mil to 9 pedestrian streets over 3-years. “These projects are not only good for the economy, they also contribute directly to the quality of life of the population.” @valplante.bsky.social

DID YOU KNOW for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral. www.matthewshepard.org/matthew-shep... She was and is a real hero.

I am horrified by how much time my children spend rotting their attention span on TikTok. I've set a rule that after every fifteen minutes of TikTok, they have to watch one hour of TV.

my immediate takeaway from the SCOTUS TikTok opinion is that there’s barely any concern for user speech. the existing legal frameworks just aren’t designed for social media.

if it’s what it seems to be, it should go without saying that the Democratic Party needs a complete restructuring if it ever intends to hold real power again

"Liberals" and "Centrists" who ensured Trump's return are attacking people who BEGGED Biden/Harris to offer a bold alternative to fascism and genocide. They're GLOATING about the looming horrors. Rotten to the core, mirrors of their MAGA partners.
