Ever wonder why Team Chad, Team AI, and Team White Supremacy seem to be all the same people?

Because they have one animating thought, a need that drives their attitude towards women, immigrants, and work.

They want slaves.

Female slaves, robot slaves, people of color slaves, all the same to them. It’s as if they’re offended by the notion that they’re not superior to somebody and have to take responsibility for their own lives.

This set of proposals from @pluralistic is the first sweeping denazification program that seems to me to have a chance of working.

Who's got the wiki with the list of indictments for all the Trumpist collaborators?

Just discovered this excellent resource about which CSS features work well in shadow DOM and which don't: https://shadow-dom-css.adobe.com/

Honestly this is the part I miss least about working with web components. It broke so many parts of the web platform, and plenty of new web APIs seem to be just plowing ahead and hoping "somebody will figure out this shadow DOM stuff later"

it is so weird sometimes being a "Car Guy" (not a guy, not actually into _cars_)

But I do love spending part of the weekend tweaking my ride and putting way more than a normal amount of care into it.

People keep saying "the cruelty is the point". The cruelty is not the point. They don't give a damn one way or the other about anyone to even think about cruelty. The extraction, the hierarchy, the entrenched power is the point. The privilege is the point. The segregation is the point.

In my futile quest to get more people to make mosquito traps for their yards, I made a visual. Please share with friends and sneak into any presentation you're giving even if it's completely unrelated to mosquitoes. Mosquito Dunks contain Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti"), a bacteria that is safe for everything except mosquito larvae, work for approximately 30 days, and are available at most garden centers and hardware stores in North America. Bti-containing powders and liquids are sold worldwide under different trade names. NB: the white lid helps you see mosquito larvae (if present it's time to add another dose of Bti). #mosquitoes #mosquito #ipm

TIL crows, starlings and similar birds only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯

Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”.

Some colors just require different eyes.

Oh my god this beautiful video. If you’re someone who has scolded or mocked people for using AI (that’s me also), please PLEASE watch this. It will give you a much healthier way of fighting the systems that be. ❤️❤️❤️

@soatok

Do it. Make a real product, offer it for sale, try to sell it to boards. It probably won't sell but it'll make the C-Suite lose a lot of sleep. Why should workers be the only ones to worry about AI?

(No, seriously, are there not a few tech lottery winners out there who'd be up for funding this kind of prank?)
