Representative Zooey Zephyr is suing Montana in order to be put back on the House floor.

“I dared to give voice to the values and needs of transgender people like myself.”

I stand with Zooey

I stand with democracy

Finished reading Redshirts by John Scalzi. If you love Star Trek you'll love this funny and surprisingly poignant love letter to the many tropes of the original series. #Bookstodon #StarTrek #sciencefictionfantasy

We should get this person to write all the #movies synopses!

Right now I think the main work is the following in this order:

1. Local Mutual Aid (get help to the people who need it around you any damn way you can)
Likewise labor unions are important organizations.
2. A basic social safety net, probably run by the government because other nations do it and it works OK. Put a band aid on it now.
3. Stop worshiping the ultra wealthy, a cultural shift expectations.
4. Start talking about what else we might try.

My last entry for this #invertefest is this #fly that Inaturalist’s system thinks might be genus #Leia but I have had no IDs on. The coloration is similar to that of a lovebug (Plecia nearctica) but it is nearly twice the length.

So why do you think Mastodon is so white?

@JessTheUnstill “A major portion of our product is quite literally a black box that we do not understand. I’m sure that will be fine.”

I just realized: every time someone embeds an LLM into a product, now we're going to have "LLM Injection attacks" where someone figures out how to bypass the filters and trick the thing into saying something that leaks information.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

A lot of people don't know the difference between capitalism and ... having markets and shopping and little coops and companies in non-super-essential economic sectors that operate independently.

Markets existed before capitalism and will exist after.

These days, a show called "The Six Million Dollar Man" would only pay for the ambulance ride to the hospital.

If I had a car I'd get those family silhouette stickers. I'd have a man, a woman, a cat and then 3,489 ant stickers.

This is the only time I kinda wish I had a car.

Jack Dorsey explaining exactly why no single company should own a social media platform.

Read an article today about why Americans think alcohol has health benefits and it's apparently another "well the French are healthy and they do X so it's healthy to do X."

So here's your periodic reminder that France (and Italy, and Sweden, and Japan, and basically every country you've seen in a "this country is so healthy, what's their secret?" headline) has universal health care.

The secret is access to health care. It's always access to health care.

"There's no turning back now" and "we can't put the genie back in the bottle" are things people say when they want to keep making money without being held accountable for the decades of work it will take to clean up after what they've done.
