I'm trying not to post "surprised pikachu face" memes about all of the people discovering that tiktok is now censoring coverage of protests, and mentions of Epstein.

And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.

Ya'll need to get out for real.

Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)

This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight. https://michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-feedback-loop

Star Wars meme. Anakin says "never again!" Padme asks, "never again to anyone, right?" Anakin remains silent. Padme repeats louder, with an upset look: "TO ANYONE, RIGHT?"

A hospital hallway with a couple dozen healthcare workers lined up along the walls with heads bowed. Some appear to be crying, one has his hands over his face.

Just yikes.

A social media post displays a tweet from Joel S. ([@]joelhs.bsky.social) above a reply from the US Holocaust Museum ([@]HolocaustMuseum). Joel S.'s tweet states: "The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis." The museum's reply reads: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

I'll tell you what. All this shit has made me want to connect with people around me in the real world. I am typically not an out going guy with strangers. But I'm pushing through that. Everything in my bones is telling me to push through that.

If my memory serves me correctly, 6 democrats signed that bill. And you know what most liberal political influencers and pundits were doing the days after it passed? Talking about the Epstein Files and a photo dump.

Asshhhhhhhggggg we are leaderless.

the palantir employees seem to have an acute case of the most obvious “hans, are we the baddies” syndrome, and it tears me up, really. so sad, poor fucking doves.

they should be ridiculed, laughed at, shamed, shunned and never employed by decent humans again.

coders for concentration camp it systems are no better than the gas chamber operators.

FYI folks, we're launching a new action demanding Hootsuite do better tomorrow. A one-click action for you to tell them to drop their ICE contract, NOW.

There's so much we can't make better in the world right now; but this one, we quite possibly can fix.

Please stay tuned, and share once it is up!

I have been thinking about how many of these members of ICE/DHS are being spoken about by this administration as having been 'highly trained Border Police' who've been serving down at the border for years.

I wonder how many Brown people they murdered down there? With no one taking video?

Because, if you look at the guys who killed Good and Pretti there's a common theme - you don't murder with that kind of casual brutality without practice.

Bathroom selfie. It's me! I'm smiling. I'm wearing a white t-shirt that says "things go better with coke" with a Coke cup fizzing. All in red and some pops of blue.

Today was memorable. I woke up, inexplicably, at 4:30AM. I ate a bacon-egg-and-cheese.

I changed my break lights. I worked.

I picked up a man hitchhiking, bought him hamburger meat at Walmart, then drove him home. His name is Joe. We exchanged numbers.

A project bid I thought was dead may be approved after all.

A person smiled at me at a coffee shop. There was a design agency in it. I exchanged numbers with the owner.

I went to goodwill, bought this shirt—“things go better with Coke.”

It's a me! Bathroom selfie. I have a white t-shirt on that reads things go better with coke. I'm smiling.
