The only time in my life where my job made sense was when I was a street performer. This is a job that has become slowly outlawed across the country, and when I was screaming that we were killing free speech no one would listen. When I warned that moving to a cashless society would make living while poor impossible, nobody cared.

They didn't care about democracy because they cared about the market value of their house. They didn't care about democracy because they wanted to punish the poor.

🤬 Anarchists from the group “Black Nightingales” were added to the terrorist list and transferred to colonies

At the end of February, the KGB updated the “List of persons involved in terrorist activities” and included Siarhei Zhyhaliou, Trafim Barysau, Dzmitry Zakharoshka, Aliaksandra Pulinovich, and Maryia Misiuk, who had been released in November of last year.

In practice, this means that the anarchists are now prohibited from receiving any money transfers. In the prison store, they will only be able to purchase goods using funds that were already in their accounts beforehand, or money they “earn” through labor in the colony. Without financial support from outside, this becomes a significant restriction on the variety of the already scarce food available to them and on the ability to purchase basic necessities.
On February 6, the Supreme Court reviewed the appeal in the “Black Nightingales” case, but the sentences were left unchanged. The convicted individuals were then transferred to penal colonies.

some time ago i (half) joked that the only job #llm can replace outright is the CEO.

today i attended an earnings call where a synthetised voice of our CEO read multi-page long table of numbers from an official financial document, according to a script prepared by claude, over a single slide titled "company earnings 2025" - to a room full of employees who commuted to the office to watch it in person. there was no management present or even shown on the screen.

it was the most disturbed dystopian fucking thing i've experienced in my career of working for soul-crushing corporations.

A reminder on International Women's Day that trans women are women, and that true feminism is intersectional.
