Repeat after me, tech folks: marginalized communities are NOT a valid test bed for your shiny AI tools. AI bias has already caused enough harm to these communities. Don’t go in without humility, partnership, and a deep community understanding of the unintended consequences your work will have.

Also known as “training your replacement.” 😩

The way people talk about loyalty is so frustrating. Do not give your loyalty to - brands - companies - politicians - political parties - your job They do not deserve it. They will abuse it.

I love satellite internet, it's so fast. Unless there's a cloud, or it's windy and a tree bends a bit, then I get stuttering on 144p video or low quality audio. *grumbles about country life*

Replacing the labor of parenting with a robot sure sounds like every tech bro fuckboy with kids spread around various current and former employees I'm just saying.

Or, you know, connect with your child through things you know they’ll relate to because you know you kid and get a lot more out of making something with them . Fuck AI

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you yourself consider to be "pornographic" - it's how the people in power define it, and there's a lot of folks who'd call a children's book about having two moms/dads "obscene" because queer lives are always "pornographic" to them.

I do really hate having a brain that works so much faster than I type. Especially when I don't notice. Reading back later and noting what I assume was supposed to be a description of a room reduced to two "words", both of which look like I compressed two other words together.

Like, no shit, the heritage foundation in tandem with the majority of the justices on this court are actively seeking to dismantle the administrative state as the spear point of an authoritarian fascist power grab & just becasue it makes pundits or pols uncomfortable to say doesn't make it less true

It is long past time for way too many people to realize that we desperately need to either Expand the Supreme Court with actual progressives or actively remove those justices who have committed gross ethical offenses, & replace them people who, y'know, have morals & values beyond "power at any cost"

Actual "concerns" that hold UBI or social aid back: - "Need someone to suffer worse than me" - "Unfair to those who earned their wealth (could be me someday)" - "What if a type of person I don't like gets money?" - "They'll use it wrong" (usually thinking "Black folks will use it to buy drugs" 🙄)

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

Fellow Canadians, it's Pride so I suggest you help out your local communities by looking at what the parties have said about trans people before our next election Cuz right now, the party that would win is in favour of "limiting" care for trans minors, as they voted at their party convention
