@cabel The companies building AI have told us for the past few years that AI can do our jobs better and cheaper than us and that it will replace us. This sounds great if you're an investor, but we are not investors. We are people who need to work to make ends meet and pay our bills. The vast majority of society is.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. -
Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January?@_elena Monet being like: Am I a joke to you?

No one is better at keeping hope alive than Rebecca Solnit, the historian and essayist whose *Hope in the Dark* got me through the first Trump administration and whose *A Paradise Built In Hell* inspired my novel *Walkaway*:@NewtonMark @wall_e @pluralistic Welcome to the solarpunk era

Mein Partner würde den roten Knopf drücken.@afelia Wer den roten Knopf drückt, wird gegebenenfalls in einer Gesellschaft leben müssen, die nur aus den Menschen besteht, die den roten Knopf gedrückt haben. Eine Gesellschaft des Misstrauens und des Egoismus.

Building Loops from scratch last fall has given me a lot of insight into how I can refactor Pixelfed to be less complex, more stable and how to implement a much more powerful ActivityPub/federation layer.@dansup Federate those pixels!

I need to warn you that I have very little patience for people who insinuate that getting out onto the streets and protesting is useless and not worth the effort.@Remittancegirl Cynicism and defeatism in general is running rampant on the internet. Not caring, or pretending not to care, is seen as cool. But a society that doesn't care will not solve its problems and die.

Heute gibts ein bisschen unterhaltsame Streetfotografie.@leah Erinnert mich daran, wie ich in Köln mal an einer Gruppe von Obdachlosen vorbei gegangen bin und die sich gerade darüber unterhalten haben, dass die neuen Lamborghini-Modelle nichts mehr taugen und das Unternehmen echt den Bach runter geht.

Vorladung in Paris: Elon Musk ist Anhörung zu Vorwürfen gegen X ferngeblieben@heiseonline "Die Staatsanwaltschaft stellt fest, dass die ersten vorgeladenen Personen nicht erschienen sind. Ihre An- oder Abwesenheit steht der Fortsetzung der Ermittlungen nicht im Weg"

Pretty wild mural painted over the men's room urinals at a restaurant we went to last night (if they don't call it a "murinal" they should).@briankrebs I'm not offended, just confused. I've seen "art" like this before. I really don't want to be watched while I shit or piss. I don't like it and I find the thought of it neither funny nor exciting. I don't know who this is for, but it's not me.

Every politician should remember: you cannot be allied to Trump.@masek There's no point in talking to Trump at all. His word is worthless. He changes his mind on a whim and he has no problem fucking over his allies.
The best thing anyone can do is keeping as much distance as possible to him and trying to find other, more reliable allies who are interested in mutually beneficial cooperation.

" #Russia adds #Hungary to 'unfriendly countries' list after #Magyar wins"@ApostateEnglishman @ahmadlubna @benroyce I wonder how Bannon can keep putting out stuff like that and not be investigated for treason.
