these guys spent 60 kajillion dollars to make a computer forget how to do math

Not the point but that scientist is kinda daddy

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Musk’s attacks on federal workers pose an existential threat to the whole labor movement, all workers, and the broad Left It’s alarming that most people don’t yet understand the stakes 🧵

Eight Things You Can Do to Stop ICE crimethinc.com/StopICE We've produced a guide detailing many different ways you can act to prevent ICE from tearing families apart and terrorizing your community. This is also available as a PDF for printing. Please circulate these widely!

NEW: It's not just coders. DOGE is filled with lawyers, elite attorneys with conservative credentials. We have new names: www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Since more and more instances are popping up of terrible men using autism as a scapegoat for their behavior, I’d like to link an article I made for the Nib in 2018. I hate that its continued to be relevant today thenib.com/james-damore...

You will never convince me that cruelty is not the point, if not a pissing contest at this point. Fuck.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

Shit is dark right now. Do what you can. Fuck these fascists.

🧵1/2 Australian Senator, Nick McKim speaks truth about the current situation of the United States under Donald Trump - backed by oligarchs Source was Instagram which I do not want to share - hence video here but two clips to get around the 60 second limitation per video on Bluesky

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

New — I did a brief history of the ‘Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

I get that we’re all stressed, but I would love for people to not work out their feelings in some stranger’s mentions. Nobody knows what to do for you here. Find a loved one.

Woooooooo ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Someone’s done it - archived the entire datasets of the US CDC before the orange toddler could destroy them. #episky #medsky #academicsky

Ukraine, Amtrak across the USA, Vashon Island, and the Olympic Peninsula — get inspired by four adventurous folks who want to share their experiences with you at a fun event on N Williams Avenue tomorrow (Tuesday 2/4).

an unelected billionaire storming into US agencies, installing his unqualified and unapproved lackeys, purging civil servants, seizing access to sensitive data and payments, unilaterally eliminating federal agencies: fine identifying the lackeys: illegal

📌 IDK maybe I need to keep this handy for later. Go forth and disrupt my friends

I keep seeing people be like “I’m useless. I have no skills. How can I help?” So I made a list of skills to learn so we can start pulling labor away from the capitalists and into our own communities. 🧵

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

our nation has a Kennedy missing his brain and now a white man from Dallas is about to help LBJ win. welcome back, 1963

Hey folks, a new post is live on patreon! Every month I go through the sketches and studying I've done with patrons. As well as some of the preparatory stuff I've worked on that goes in the digital sketchbook. If you'd like to see that stuff that doesn't really make it to socials here's a way.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

This account is now just for Sheffield Stand porn (look at this lovely little upgrade by the cafe in Farmleigh at the Phoenix Park)

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

name a more iconic safety engineering duo than Boeing and Elon Musk

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Artists on Bluesky! Added a new "Alt-text tips for artists" section; thanks to @nicktankard.bsky.social (who writes great alt-text) for sharing his alt-text process, plus letting me use one of his amazing pieces of art as an example: publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/al.... #BlueSkyTips

More artists need to have portfolio websites I can't be the only one who wants to continue keeping tabs on my favorites independently of social media /shakes bars LET ME APPRECIATE YOU

One of the things I really appreciate about the bike community here is the general understanding that infrastructure must be be built to accomodate cyclists of all ages, skill levels, and risk tolerances. In other words, there are far fewer "avid cyclists" here than I encounter on other platforms.

We've removed the paywall on this guide to supporting local orgs and mutual aid groups in the Twin Cities:

What a fucken wild thing to find out Muskrat went mask off.

You cannot tug on the heartstrings of the heartless You cannot appeal to morals of the immoral You cannot shame the shameless Get it together

Another study. Definitely has issues but i spent too long on it and need to move on. Was trying to do a more involved background here and I'm happy I tackled it :)

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

how is Edinburgh real? Imagine living in what is clearly the headquarters of a guild of alchemists dedicated to discovering the Elixer of Life, just walking home from the grocery store to this movie set

I've thought about this quote from a NYT article from 2019 for years. "He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

Me on Friday before a long weekend plotting my next few days: How many books can I finish, and or how many miles can i bike. Sadly, i dont like listening to audio books while im cycling (even indoors). There is something about the bike that put me in a medatative, almost fugue-like state.

Fantastic work by @eoinhiggins.bsky.social. Looking forward to having him on Conspirituality when the books drops in February.

If you're not sure what these streaks are, they're an international environmental disaster possible only thanks to a long history of selective nonenforcement against a company with an almost pathological disregard for health, safety, and environmental protection.

This is what it looks like when you lose a massive spacecraft on its way to orbit right over the Caribbean. Lots of commercial flights turning/holding/diverting to avoid falling debris from SpaceX's Starship.

Can someone make me a meal that hits the 12+ flavor and texture profiles i have been steadily craving so i may be released from this mouth hellscape?
