Attention #Seattle #lgbtq and allies!

The long-running Drag Queen Story Time at Renton’s Brewmaster’s Taproom has been targeted by fearmongering bigots who plan to shut it down this Saturday. We need an overwhelming number to counter protest and keep the venue safe.

Gondor calls for aid!

If Black folk can vote, you don't get to do fash-y things.

You can't end women's reproductive rights.

You can't ignore climate change.

You can't spend billions on cops to harass Black people, while you cut art and music and computer classes from schools.

You can't have a public health system best described as "eugenics, but slower."

You can't implement racist immigration policies.

Southern states are not red. They're suppressed.

Just tried ChatGPT. I asked it a series of specific Qs about areas I've studied in detail.

On all Qs, it gave answers that are plausible sounding but wrong. Not obviously wrong: wrong in subtle ways that need deep domain knowledge to grasp.

The ways humans will be practically misled by this kind of tech if trusted with, say, doling out medical, legal or business advice is horrific.

Letting this tech loose on the world will further destroy search engines that are already riddled with SEO BS.

It looks like The NY Times staff walkout will be going through tomorrow, so reminder that a digital picket line (which includes all NYT platforms and products) is still a picket line. Don’t cross it—break your word game streak for workers’ rights!

You can also write in directly to let them know you support giving their workers a fair contract.

The attack in Moore County, SC is quite significant:

Some unknown organized parties vandalized multiple power substations, apparently using firearms. It may be connected to the larger stochastic terrorist movement targeting trans individuals and drag performances.

And whether or not this particular incident was related to the ongoing stochastic terrorism, we have a stochastic terrorism problem right now. Fueled by Facebook and Twitter.

@matthew_d_green “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

People who make the rules and have the power and money usually try to make rules that give them more power and money. This is why more than half of Congress is multi millionaires and keeps electing more. Because the rules are made for them by them. Pass this bill.

President Biden should give all workers including rail workers sick leave through executive order.

Have to agree with Garak here, all exploted workers should #strike, if the withdrawal of their labour disrupts the "economy" then clearly their contribution is important and their demands should be heard.

America 2022:

Via Max Berger:

Let’s be clear on what just happened here:

1. The richest man in the world bought Twitter

2. He gave info from Twitter to Matt Taibbi to spread right-wing talking points about Hunter Biden

3. Trump said those allegations were grounds to terminate the constitution

Both Dems and GOP requested tweet deletions, and censorship. Both parties are at fault.

For all you righties out there - We're mad at Biden because:
Didn't legalize weed.
Didn't get 100% student loan forgiveness done.
Didn't back workers in the Union Rail strike.
Hasn't worked on Healthcare for All.
Still is implementing Trump's inhumane bs border policies.
Etc.
