@ChanlerRaper @piscicapture @Doby_Lot @stemlord_tv @shark_widow @yungchomsky @deep_beige People need places to live and they make profit off that basic need. Seems pretty parasitic to me. Maybe they should get a job and make their own money. Go to school and learn a trade or something to better themselves and have some marketable skills.

@slytharin It takes a lot of work, trust, effort and communication. It's not just an opportunity to sleep with other people. But with a strong foundation in our relationship we've been bale to navigate it.

Naysayers claim tech workers could never organize, they’re too siloed, too well-paid, too white and male. If that were true then Google, Amazon & co wouldn’t be spending millions on these campaigns. And the initiatives are often led by women, trans folks, Black/Latina workers.

New: court records shed light on a highly secretive anti-union program at Google called "Project Vivian." The program was explicitly to make workers think "that unions suck," a top executive said

I’ve always found it disconcerting that Roe, Griswold, et al are framed legally as privacy issues. I’m an advocate of privacy rights. But that feels secondary here - the rights should explicitly be for bodily autonomy. We need a new system to affirm and defend the those rights.

Great report from @_whitneywebb on the shady and secretive IDF-linked cybersecurity group taking advantage of budget cuts to make their way into US infrastructure.

Not just @Spotify but now @spreaker . This is an attack on independent media and anti-imperialist voices like Sean and Jacquie.

Without explanation or notice, @Spotify has removed @bamnecessary from their platform, but we're not going anywhere! There's a clear effort in motion to suppress anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist voices, join us in the fight by spreading the word!

I'm finding it fascinating that during a market crash, there's still one stock that's growing. $ZM, Zoom, the videoconference software company. The market, uh, finds a way.

Training a model on human eye tracking reproduces racism and sexism? You don't say! Here's some kinda-technical background on why Twitter changed the image cropping algorithm.

Landlord wants to raise our rent $150/month. I pointed out that there have been no improvements to the property and they agreed but want to raise it anyway. Profit and housing should have nothing to do with each other.

Unless you have an absolute need, do not order from Instacart or Amazon today. Workers are striking for safe working conditions & sick days. In case you need clarification: being out of chips & dip is NOT an absolute need #InstacartStrike #AmazonStrike
