#MastodonForHarris be like: "Let's support one of the most well funded and richest people in the world, while ignoring all the folks who genuinely need help on this platform, and doesn't get help they need from a country that social welfare is basically non-existent. They're just 'lazy' and 'attention seekers!'"

Fucking clowns 🤡 Show some goddamn solidarity with your fellow human beings

SAG-AFTRA is going on strike again.

Your occasional reminder that “this tool frees you from performing mundane tasks” is just code for “we’re not going to pay you for that kind of work any more.”

“Nearly half (47%) of employees using AI say they have no idea how to achieve the productivity gains their employers expect, and 77% say these tools have actually decreased their productivity and added to their workload.” — https://www.upwork.com/research/ai-enhanced-work-models

the first three bullets in that executive summary certainly paint a picture

(the picture is on fire, to be clear)

btw the current tallest buinding in Budapest is the incredibly silly looking headquarters of MOL Group, a Hungarian multinational oil and gas company

it has yet to attract any macros

Ok. I just stumbled upon the details of those webbing strips that are on military and paramilitary gear.
It looks super functional for organizing gear.. but the only way to get it is to get icky looking bags that have all been made in "tactical" colours.

THIS SHIT COULD BE IN RAINBOWS, EASY.

I'm officially putting this style of bag on my to-make list, but I know that it'll be a while before I can even start.

If you like making bags, particularly if you make/sell bags, I'm handing this idea off to anyone who wants to run with it.

It's just webbing on a bag in particular spacing! You can get webbing in practically any damned colour you like, and I think that it'd be fun to have "Queer P.A.L.S" gear. (other related search terms- MOLLE, which stands for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment)

Can someone make this stuff gay and flashy, instead of mean and fashy the way all the existing stuff looks? Anyone who wants a practical modular bag system can't even get it in a decently bright colour as of now.

i think $250,000 would actually literally meet every single goal in the mutual aid hashtag going back like multiple years

i think fundraising for politicians on fedi is a bit gauche when there are so many people in the #MutualAid hashtag who really need help

if you have money to burn on pointless political bullshit you have money to give to your struggling digital neighbors
