I will say, I do not think the language of slavery is useful for the hypothetical of AI consciousness. I belive that, especially with token usage, a form of corner labor fits better without stripping the idea of slavery of its historic monstrosity. Or perhaps, as the Czechs would say, Robota.

all i know about Digger is this: it was so good that when Mandy Patinkin stepped out of the theater he IMMEDIATELY posted to instagram telling people to go see it AND thanking the crew and cast for making such phenomenal art

Do you condemned Hamas? Do you condemn ZANU/ZAPU? Do you condemn M23? Do you condemn Nakam? Do you condemn - it isn't my place to condemn the brutalized for reacting to terror. Critical support means supporting resistance while still critiquing it. It's the same game as always, while blood flows.

A lot of you need to realize that Israel and Jewishness are nowhere near synonymous. A lot of you also need to realize that holding those complicity as just that, complicit, is not a genocidal call. Fucks sake. Half of you are gonna be fascists and the other half are gonna be storefront posters.

If I keep dwelling on news I'm gonna start fedposting. So if this reaches anyone. Share something utterly dumb and fun. Baseball playoffs are shaping up to be pretty wild! I just built an old frame mtg blue control deck that I'm real excited to play! I have a kings of war tournament this weekend!

The more I read about this Darcy fellow, the more I think he is too full of pride, and that he carries a lot of prejudice towards the Bennet family. Now this Mr. Wickham, that's an upstanding fellow! He's much more charming and praising of the Bennets!

I've seen, for the entirety of my political consciousness, an unending series of violence and terror inflicted upon Palestine and its people. All carried out by a nation whose policies lead to incredible complicity in that terror. I should hope I have the grace to remain this composed in my actions.

i take this back, fully retract it, and i apologize for how i phrased this. i posted this while angry at the constant barrage of years of my life witnessing senseless murder in palestine, and this is no way to express my opinion, which is an end to all conflinct in the region. i’m sorry

My biggest problem with the liberals on bluesky is that so much fo their driving animus seems to be rooted in a distaste for Trump's behavior and his breaking of norms than like, material concerns. What I see leads me to believe they would be fine with another Obama- or may Allah forgive me, Bush.

as someone who has been really critical of a lot of the initial breathless "teehee, weird sex" reportage, i really appreciate this thread for nailing the actual fucked up immoral thing that is happening; you CANNOT consent if your employment or job success are on the line

Faine Greenwood@faineg.com

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

This is a piece of advice I always give when I consult: you need someone to have final say. Even in a co-op, even in a group of peers. There needs to be someone who can say “okay, we are implementing this” someone has to take on responsibility for the decisions

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind

Really need to stress: these are attacks on the rights of cis people as well. They are stripping away your bodily autonomy, your right to gender affirmation, your capacity to exist. They are stripping you of neighbors, brothers, sisters. They are stripping you of diversity, vibrancy. Fight back!

"Everyday Americans dont care about this" "You will alienate the majority" "its just pronoun shit" its how they start normalizing hate. Its all the tip of the iceberg for people ALREADY assaulted. Civil rights was also not supported by the majority! Segregation had majority support!

Olivia Hill@machineiv.bsky.social

"I swear I hate trans people just as much as you" is a PERPETUALLY LOSING STRATEGY BECAUSE THEY WILL JUST MOVE THE GOALPOSTS. At a certain point you just have to recognize it's not "strategy," they just hate trans people.

All the fucks saying "He's trying to get elected in Texas! Give him a break!" Yeah man, "I oppose integrating schools if black kids pose a risk to white students" would also play well among the right, but the dems dont fucking do that shit. You knuckle draggers just dont think trans Americans count.

Talarico says he would vote in favor of a national ban for transgender surgeries for minors

I mean genuinely the main emotion that I’m filled with after this weekend, seeing the president, walking through his throngs of fans, attending the worst circus I’ve ever witnessed, is like: man I’m not letting this guy kill me. I simply refuse to lose to him

Lots of things killed pickup baseball. The Baby Boom ended; there were fewer children to begin with. Exclusionary zoning spread the kids thinner over ever larger suburbs. Stranger Danger & the collapse of social trust meant kids could no longer be left unattended to find each other.

Steven B@stevenbfla.bsky.social

Does that kinda pickup sport exist at all besides for basketball? Exclusionary suburbs killed the empty lots of streetcar suburbs. And folks ain't so forgiving of broken windows. And football takes up too much room.

Incredibly well. Because the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R is normal outside of the zone of alienation. I would simply just leave the zone and not venture further inwards.

Many Congresses have actively chosen the world we live in by declining to pass new immigration laws

Dara Lind@daralind.bsky.social

PS I really recommend not thinking about this as a Trump problem. This is the product of a system that was allowed to shamble on for three decades, preventing people who were actively in compliance with law from getting permanently legal. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Screaming into the void here- but Obama does not deserve being sainted. His administration lied about guantanamo, kept us mired in war, did drone killings, deported far more than trump, empowered genocidal actors and cracked down on progressive organizing. Still impressive to elect a black man tho.

Raoul Vaneigem—Situationist, author, and lifelong aspiring revolutionary—has passed away at the age of 92. "Let ten people meet who are resolved on the lightning of violence rather than the long agony of survival; from this moment, despair ends and tactics begin." —The Revolution of Everyday Life

Mickaël Correia@mickacorreia.bsky.social

RIP Raoul Vaneigem 😪. "Les stupides résurgences du nationalisme et des religions ne sont que l'écume dérisoire du vrai danger : l'acquiescement suicidaire au sort qui nous est fait et par lequel une économie en dépérissement nous enjoint de dépérir avec elle." (1996) Toujours d'actualité.
