With every recent tech bro hype there’s always this emphasis on how you’ll be “left behind” if you don’t invest in their ideas. And each time I’m thinking “YES, please leave me the fuck behind!”. I should have been left behind like three times by now, and still they keep coming back? Can’t even follow up on their threats like normal sociopaths. Pathetic.

It's easy to make fun of people under 25 for making thrifting and gardening/farming and foraging into pop trends, but to paraphrase my niece:
"older clothes fit better, feel nicer, look cooler, are cheaper, and cost less.
"You can alter them, you can decorate them, you can get clout for finding extremely cool shit
"My friends and I don't understand why anyone would buy new clothes. Fast fashion is destroying the world, and everything it makes sucks."
So there. The kids are alright.

A billionaire enters a gas station. Seeing the "Leave a penny, take a penny" dish on the counter, he scoops up all of the coins and pockets them.
"I'm a genius," he says to the protesting clerk. "I earned this money. Anybody could have taken it, but only I had the vision to see what was possible."

My favorite part of the plan is that they clarify that yes, you do need to talk to strangers, they’re not so scary. It attempts to guide shy attendees through the process of making friends with randos.
Again, I feel like this is in direct response to cynicism about protests like No Kings being performative.
Frankly, if you meet your people and do anything together in the future, I’d call that closer to antifascism than where we started.

@nasser it’s also an attack on academia. capital has gained too much power for its own good.

@nasser In this sense “AI” actually is the purest distillation so far of “democratization”, aka “stealing everything of yours that isn’t nailed down, selling it back to you (or, ideally, renting it back for as long as possible), *then* killing you”

take it from me, an Arab from Arabia: when white men talk about bringing you "democracy" they're probably trying to kill you

so just to be totally clear AI is "democratizing" programming by taking something that used to free to do and making it so you pay a subscription fee to an American corporation to do it while being barred from ever actually understanding how it works, am I getting that right?

#StardewValley but with 90s anime style! [Part 1]

I pack the band kids together, because!
I've been cooking these for so long, got stuck, then revamped this project with different style. I kept on losing motivation to finish this project because the thought of needing to post all of them at once, now I think getting this out there partially will motivate me better.
Hope you like my redesign and restyling. ✊💖
See replies for individual sheets!
