Liberals spend too much of our time fighting amongst ourselves over definitions rather than coming together cohesively as the Rs have done since the Tea Party. We need a new, aggressively liberal policy plank focusing on equity and decolonization, and to refuse to accept ANY candidate that does not adopt it - new or incumbent. The Rs did this and won, over and over.

Every single liberal needs to examine their comfort and start making changes. It sounds cliché, but we MUST stop giving money to corporate interests that work behind closed doors to disempower us. Every WaPo or Times subscription cancelled reduces the reach of that misinformation. Every cancelled Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta account reduces their power to buy politicians. And for fuck's sake STOP WORKING FOR THESE COMPANIES. Don't build weapons for your oppressors.

We also need to get used to paying for our news, and getting that news from smaller, independent offerors. Control of the media is one of the greatest benefits that the folks in control have today.

As an aside, if you're a person that produces sperm, I STRONGLY recommend you schedule a vasectomy as soon as humanly possible. It's very likely that soon the reproductive rights of women will be taken away, so it will be up to men to be more responsible. It's a painless procedure and typically is covered almost entirely by insurance. I didn't pay a dollar for mine. They're generally reversible. Recovery takes about a week. Let's make this the norm, friends.

Tech is not going to save us. Mastodon is not going to save us. We cannot science our way out of these problems. No one else is coming to help.We can only change our habits and retake what power we can. We must choose empathy, kindness, and love in the face of hate.

The market is already flooded with unemployed software developers and engineers in America. The gov gleeful joining the fray by gutting the civil service will only drive unemployment up. Don't stop talking about this.We cannot toot or code our way out of the current environment. But that's a lot of hands to lay to new civic infrastructure projects.We need to start building ethical companies to replace the current Valley-centric VC-based bullshit, to reclaim capital from oligarchs. 1/3

The bad news is, free platforms will not be possible. Everyone is going to have to get used to using their money as their vote, to pay for organizations they want to see in the world.The good news is, no fucking ads. 2/3

This is also an AMAZING time for state/local to start building digital service teams. Start pushing your representatives now! 3/3

Hey if you're in the US you really really really need to be using a VPN so no one can monitor your traffic. Nowadays I use NordVPN. It works on both my desktop and phone!If you want to sign up you can use my referral link below. Or not. Whatever. Just use a VPN please.https://refer-nordvpn.com/piVszdDUcXt

@9x0rg @elizayer @privacyguides Thanks for this. However, they recommend Proton, who actively support the current US president, so I'm not inclined to take their advice.

Well, I see bsky is now going the way of Twitter, which was to be expected. I guess it's time to stay on Mastodon again.

It’s 1995 and I’m buying Tori Amos CDs.It’s 2005 and I’m buying Tori Amos CDs.It’s 2025 and I’m buying Tori Amos CDs.I highly recommend folks start buying used CDs again now while they’re $3 again, before the next nostalgia wave hits and they go up to $25 again.

(It’s worth mentioning that these all get fed directly to my Plex server for ripping and streaming.)

Question for the various mastodon admins around: is the “gaza-verified” site a scam? We are getting a lot of new follows from supposedly “verified” accounts all begging for donations.

#AI investment by companies is currently projected by Gartner to top $1.5 TRILLION this year, 2 next. Where is that sort of revenue going to come from to pay it off?Microsoft only pulls in $45 *billion* on office software, and they're the biggest player in the game. The math doesn't add up for this to be a tool for consumers.Someone on LinkedIn pointed out that selling that data for surveillance is the MOST likely way that the bills get paid. Keep this in mind before you use these tools.

This post has become popular-ish, so I must once again make clear that I do not require an armchair explanation of how finance markets work. It’s literally my job.

You cannot both have a personal, non-corporate social media environment and also have a constant, pre-curated stream of momentary entertainment. It’s not unlike moving from fast food to a healthy diet.You either get slop, or you start doing the work to share good things and curate your own consumption.#SocialWeb

Hey babe are you alright? You’ve barely touched the cyberpunk dystopia you fantasized about throughout most of the 90s that you’re currently trapped in.
