"Former Meta and OpenAI Contractor Sama Liquidates, Citing Lawsuits"
https://time.com/article/2026/11/09/sama-ai-data-liquidates-lawsuits-meta/
In March of 2020 I could already see how damaging COVID was going to be on politics by isolating and marginalizing altruists, while the less-altruistic freely socialized in bars etc.
One worry I keep kicking around in my head after Oct 7th, is that anarchists may have lost activist spaces in a *permanent* way because our universalism fundamentally conflicts with the pluralistic politics needed for activist coalitions of the oppressed, and that our counterglobalization era hegemony may be over.
I've covered all this before obviously, but I think it's important to be cleareyed not just about our advantages, but also the places where we're at a massive disadvantage.
The DSA has been a generational blowout for anarchism's hegemony over the left and activism, but I'm increasingly worried that it's a permanent effect. Where many of our *tactics* and *positions* will be greedily adopted -- local mutual aid projects etc -- but furiously stripped of anything like our values or consistency.

Eh deleted all my reviews after google accepted a claim that my 3* review of one shitty ass shop in Germany was defamation, ignored my response and removed it. Hell, I’d argue it was net positive review (otherwise wouldn’t be a 3* IMO), but the abuse of the system in Germany is wild and clearly Google doesn’t give a fuck just like the rest of their products.
Anyway still waiting for opportunity to “transfer” all my photos from google maps. Ever since they changed what counts as storage use in drive, I’ve used maps to store useful or nice photos from hikes/parks/nature that I didn’t necessarily wanna keep stored on the phone.
Edit: ooh this also does mention the export/import of photos. Guess I gotta try it!
His complaint was that he "was tired of women saying they want a man who will take charge." Complaining about that to a woman (whose profile includes that she wants an *equal* partner) reads as "I am lazy as fuck and expect you to do everything, Mommy."
@LeslieBurns I feel like leading with a complaint, any complaint, is bad form. Work that shit out in therapy

@aesthr Ah yes, the good old "I will block your channel/account if I see it in your thumbnail"-font 😅
My uncle Mike just retired. He used to work in radio, so he’s setting up an “audiophile” room and converting all his records to digital. He said it’s because he can’t fairly split the collection to all his children, which is fair I guess. He figures this project will take the rest of his life.
@Thomas uncle Mike sounds rad. My ex had an uncle who digitized all his 50s and 60s Korean pop records it was so cool
Thank you to everyone who joined us at #NextTurn 2026 in #Northampton #MA!
A special thanks to all our Atlas Rush players for checking out our prototype!
I'm always amazed by how open & welcoming the #boardgaming community is.❤️
It reminds me why we make games!
Congrats on NextTurn — watching people actually pick up a prototype is the best feedback there is. And you're right about the board gaming crowd, it's unusually welcoming.
