If people could share this I’d be grateful. A friend of a friend is dealing with liver failure due to immune issues and other health complications at the age of 35 and could use any of the help or shares you can spare. Thank you for looking. #crowdfund #mutualaid #gfm #donate gofund.me/7bdf7b350

I think it's beautiful when art effects people so deeply they'll go to these lengths to try to save a particular project, I just wish we had any kind of organized body for creative workers across industries that could funnel this energy into actually supporting the people who created the art

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldn’t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

Serbia defeated a 14 year regime backed by Putin. Brazil stopped a takeover supported by the richest techno-oligarchs on the planet and meddling by the American government. Hungary finally ousted Viktor Orbán earlier this year. They did it by voting. Never tell me voting is useless.

Don't just watch what we do next. Actively join us in this fight.

Lots of Americans saying Zuckerberg should face consequences, and hoping that we, Brazilians, will do something about it. But my question to you all is: What will YOU, Americans, do about it? You saw what we did. Now, what will YOU do?

“protein enriched chocolate chip cookie” is kinda the perfect synthesis of the conflicting american male desires to be a spartan warrior and also five years old

It's remarkable to me that, even as France, Germany and Spain flirt with the temptation of far-right rule, voters with long-term experience of it in Poland, Hungary and now Serbia have gone to such great efforts to rid themselves of it.

Congrats to all my friends in Brazil. You are showing the world that turning up matters in the face of fascism. The fight isn’t over for any of us, but you are showing us all that it’s possible to stand our ground in the face of those who seek to kill democracy.

We won not only against Bolsonaro, but against the full force of the USian's Big Techs, Meta, CIA, Trump, the Brazilian right-wing elites, the billionaires' press and more.

Two years from now I'm going to make an absolute fool of myself by confidently claiming Garfield died in a train derailment after a bridge exploded instead of a horrible festering gunshot wound and it will be entirely Branson's fault.

Ethan Klein, noted Zionist, has no morals and scruples and cheated on his wife, possibly with a staffer half his age? lol, lmao even. I’m shocked, I tell you! Anyway, some folks said “they just need a two parent solution for their kids” and “maybe he was promised to her 3000 years ago” ☠️

You’ll never catch me feeling sorry for the same people who keep encouraging genocide who have more money than I can comprehend who spend it all on the same frivolous lawsuits that they claimed to be against

Jails are irredeemably terrible and they shouldn't exist. They are dangerous and violent. The people who run them don't like them.

I’ve never seen someone who seeped all charisma out of a room quite like this guy. I thought nothing would top Ben Carson and Jeb Bush but I think JD might be where rizz goes to die

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are.I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize"

"For years, trans people have used wards in line with their gender identity, under the NHS’s own guidance – without any harm. The NHS was built on the promise that everyone counts. With this guidance, it has decided that trans people certainly don’t – and some of us will pay for it with our lives."

metro.co.ukThe new NHS guidance for trans people could put lives at riskThe NHS has decided to make it even worse for trans people – by forcing them to use wards based on their ‘biological sex’.

I know "finally anyone can do it" is not a new marketing tactic, but one serious shift that needs to happen after the bubble pops is to re-empower people and encourage them to just learn new skills instead of surrendering them to automation.

People mention LLMs a lot in terms of "increasing accessibility" And as someone with intermittent cognitive disabilities, I *really* want to highlight how much work it is to sort through AI slop to try to find accurate information

James Baillie@jubalbarca.bsky.social

The main way the LLM boom has affected my life is to make a lot of things so much harder. It makes information filtering an even more constant grinding process than it already was: it's noticeably worsened search info quality and makes it harder to find anything reliable and/or human and/or real.

Bluesky staff hates trans people (to the point where they’ll block or suspend you if you breathe on them funny), but they’d sure like a cut of the proceeds from our collective emergency fundraisers

Some snippets that are a work in progress. Text will come later. I said before I didn’t know how much I’d show off while it was being worked on, and I meant it. But I figured people might want to see that I am in fact still here- so enjoy these sans context! #art #bskyart #comic #artist #fantasy
