i am begging journalists to become even a little bit interested in the systems of organization that are rapidly becoming the underpinning of our entire society

uspol, passports 

given the recent shitshow i think we really should stop pushing for X gender markers and start pushing to strip all gender markers from ID documents in general, the netherlands was weighing it recently-ish, not sure where thats gone. anyway all it does is give bigoted officials a free pass to go "well you don't look like insert gender here" or worse

Ask yourself this: will fares in self-driving cabs be cheaper? Will subscriptions to vibe-coded SaaS cost less? Will tickets to see model-generated movies be a fraction of the current price?

Or do all these technologies just solve the problem of having to pay people, with no benefit to anyone else except shareholders?

And then ask yourself this: if nobody's getting paid, who's hailing the taxis, using the SaaS and watching the movies?

on furnal equinox and their fascist bs 

and like let’s be fucking real lol - this was always going to happen because we kept pretending the fandom wasn’t political. in many spaces i have been in there's an air of politics being this unspoken taboo that nobody talks about. as a result we have chosen to willingly commodify and gentrify ourselves.

on furnal equinox and their fascist bs 

fascists and bigots, unlike many assert, *thrive* here. yes, they fucking do, and many of them do not wear the "furry raiders" type beat pawprint badges. people in this fucking community are so afraid of conflict and politics that they let everyone walk over them. the white, cis, male, abled majority refuses to take a stand, dismissing every attempt to call this out as "drama" or "discourse." it’s cowardice dressed up as neutrality, and it’s killing us.

@sharan I was originally motivated to post this by the thing about Fandom and their treatment of volunteers, but the same thing applies to platforms like Reddit, YouTube, and also a lot of smaller, more niche platforms that I've seen over the years but that don't come to mind immediately.

Putting out a bounty on the person who implemented this infuriating lift display.

Bring them to me dead or alive - I just want their laptop with the source code

Wat is dat toch, dat als je kritiek uit over het bestaan van politie/defensie e.d., dat mensen er gelijk van uitgaan dat je gewoon "naief" bent en "niet snapt waarom het bestaat"? Echt vermoeiend, zo kun je nooit eens een fatsoenlijk gesprek erover voeren.

thinking shit like "i will forget if i dont remember"

@h3artbl33d Ah, well, taking a cutting is a good start, but you have to plant it in some soil and nurture it for a while to have it grow into a proper WiFi-bearing plant

Surely the Eurotunnel has got to be the train line with the most road surface per train

Hello police? I need to report some escaped Amiga 3D rendering demos

gotta remember for the next interview, "Tell me about a time this company turned down a project for ethical reasons."

@h3artbl33d Also, they don't want you to know this, but the internet is free, you can just take it home, etc. etc.
