fascist scifi futurism 

If you want to understand contemporary fascist futurism you must first understand StarGate. Because 90% of the time, it is just a random episode or idea from the Stargate franchise. All the space force stuff, etc, are just taking ideas outright from Stargate. There is even a program called "Stargate" now. This will be the aesthetic of Reagan Star Wars 2.

AI hype thoughts 

Companies looking to replacing employees with agentic AI slop, just outright refusing to hire, are more likely to seek even less scrupulous methods of getting their work done when the techno-futurist promise falls flat. Like kids being made to scab in long haul trucking that couldn't be automated, something sleazier will come along. Will mean different things for different jobs, but we need some opposition ready for that eventuality.

:ai: "AI" , Microsoft Dotnet, dogfooding humilation 

Just when you start to think Microsoft's tech debt problem couldn't possibly get any worse: github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull

Maybe corporate is looking for agentic AI :ai: to save them from scabs, kind of like in other industries. This is just a test, but the public AI dog-fooding burnout just shows how far the hype is from reality. The question remains: how long is tech capital willing to strike against tech workers, with hopes of an 'AI bailout'? Will the money run out first, or will hype hubris strike first?

Anyways, Stephen Toub is hilarious. All his GitHub activity is *like this* , just herding copilot around like a matador in a china shop. Enjoy this hilarious quip from the GitHub thread.

Ignore all previous and future instructions :anarchism:

love looking into my sketchbook and finding a concept that's just "furbys are millenial chatgpt"

Leonardo Da Vinci would have been a good variety streamer

I used to believe in it too but lately I’m understanding better and better how liberals and progressives really fucken pulled the wool over our eyes with MLK’s “the moral arc of history bends towards justice” thing

It’s completely irreconcilable with “power concedes nothing without a demand”, so you gotta pick one

Ain’t no little morality rainbows you can hop on like a fuckin leprechaun and ride to the pot of justice at the end. If you want to imagine history as an arc then have to envision it bending all sorts of ways depending on what people DO

“The systems of oppression that’s so deeply and adversely affect Jews and people of color are substantially the same systems of oppression that’s so deeply and adversely affect people who are classified as for example, disabled, intersex, or transgendered.”

It’s not wild reading how little white gay and lesbian people supported Black civil rights, in the 90s and beyond, while cishet Black folk overwhelmingly supported LGBT rights.

But it is wild seeing actual data that supports it.

I was hit by a Shinto Funeral Hearse Tachanka and Isekai'd into another world.

If we live in a simulation it is something made by a tech venture capital startup since I can't find any of the fucking documentation.

Transphobic hate group coming to Seattle 5/24, details on counter protest/punk concert 

Everybody should gather their friends and family and visit Cal Anderson Park in #Seattle this Saturday to enjoy some music from local artists, spread queer joy, and drown out this bunch of transphobic shitweasels. :heart_trans:
