A propos of the poor being a punching bag for the political right, the criminalisation of poverty and the ugly rhetoric they embrace every time they need votes.
Know your enemy.
We can do better. We can look after each other. #Solidarity is the way.

Holy shit looks like the WGA pretty much got *everything it wanted*, including structural change.
UNIONS WORK.

We already have enough for everyone.
It's just being hoarded and wasted.

y'know how they say the "close doors" button on US elevators often does nothing, but makes people using the elevator feel more in control?
website designers, please give us a "save settings" button.

For those still not getting it, this is how strongly and heavily Bard is trained to weight the associations of "Doctor" with "he" and "Nurse" with "she":
It INCORRECTLY DENIES THE GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE OF THE SENTENCE rather than let the doctor have she/her pronouns. These are all three drafts it gave.
Fourth picture shows it has almost no problems with the same structure, using he/him pronouns, save one draft where it claims the nurse was owed.
And my run-through for singular They got a response of "It is unclear who was owed money in the sentence" until the times the nurse was owed money and it "corrected" the pronoun to "she" (see next toot).
I mean… Yikes and holy shit, y'all.

Remind me, were there ethical issues with Etsy? I could swear I remember something, but I don't seem to have bookmarked it
Apparently there are *still* bootleg Gameboy game sellers???

This is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist. Many folks think wheelchairs are only for those who can't walk at all, or folks who can only take a couple steps.
Wheelchairs and electric scooters are used due to pain, weakness, balance issues, orthostatic intolerance, etc.

“Boost this post if you’re a trans ally”
No WTF, I don’t care, stop trying to farm engagement!!!
Allyship should be seen and not heard.
Being an ally is something you do, it is not something you are.

New service starting up in a scifi universe near you: they use Light-of-Other-Days temporal wormholes to find when people are watching films in the future after the copyright has expired.
Wanna watch Public Domain Barbie from 2043? Now you can! Legally, and free.
(For those unfamiliar: that's like running a national supermarket chain off a basic Shopify plan. The tool isn't necessarily *bad*, it's just realllly unprofessional and probably not suitable for that scale)
It's kind of hilarious to watch the site of a fintech company load a library from fucking unpkg.com

“you have an appointment in three hours. if you do anything to pass the time, you will be late for it. you sit and watch the clock instead. you are late to the appointment”
“you don’t know your friend’s name. you’ve been friends for months. they just told you their name. you do not know their name.”
“there is something you’re forgetting. you check. you check again. there is nothing you’re forgetting. there is something you’re forgetting.

USA followers! You can order more free COVID tests today. Please request yours even if you don't think you need them. They're good to have on hand and the more people who order, the more it shows the government there is a need.
