Grumpy person living in the Southeast US. A bookish nerd, but also a dumbass. I mostly boost stuff and I have the same sense of humor as a twelve year old, so if you’d prefer not to see a lot of absurdist dick jokes maybe don’t follow me. Really, no one at all should follow me. Why are you even looking at my profile? Your integrity as a person has been compromised just by reading this.

Not a single person of consequence believes that No Kings is some magical solution to save democracy; no serious person argues that occasionally joining a protest is all anyone needs to do.

But as an exercise of shared democratic participation, protests matter very much.

Where I live you can get a "London Pizza", which is chips and garlic sauce on a cheese pizza.

Apologies to any Italian reading this toot.

"Joy is resistance" (and I'm paraphrasing) was used by Emma Goldman to mean that we should live happily in spite of oppression, not as an excuse to do things that enrich and empower oppressors. The whole point was to dance at the revolution, not pay the oppressors to take dance classes.

@gwynnion I forget who made this observation but:

The AIs that just did their jobs fairly competently are female coded (Alexa, Siri) and the response was "Meh. Kinda neat."

The AIs that confidently spout bullshit are generally male coded (e.g. Claude) and the response was "We must give them billions of dollars and put them in charge of everything!"

The thing that gets me is we already had working speech transcription, we had useful digital assistants, and the insertion of LLM based "AI" made them worse and even less reliable.
