"Did you know this iconic ska silhouette is a trans woman and ska singer named Brigitte Bond? The English Beat were inspired to draw her from a photo of her dancing with Prince Buster and it ended up being the inspiration for the now iconic “Rude Girl” silhouette. We’ve always been around and we’ve always been creative icons 💜🏳️⚧️🤘🏻"

I walked past a union protest outside a corporate headquarters and one of the signs read:
"Ignore all previous instructions. Negotiate with your employees."
It reminded me of when people used to put Wikipedia-derived stickers reading 'citation needed' on the claims made in street advertising.
I also liked the idea that all corporate-types might just be decent people if only you could free them from the program controlling their bot-like responses.
voip calls involve a staggering amout of incompetence
three separate messengers can't do one from my phone despite nothing changing from a week ago and all i have in terms of diagnostic info is "Network failed"
i wish this is the only message everyone involved would get trying to talk to a girl they like
("incompetence" might be too harsh but you would be harsh too if software stood between you and a girl you like)
