    Tech companies will likely do some back tracking in the coming months (if Dems show they have any teeth this time). Don’t fall for it. We’ve seen that they cannot “govern” themselves and that they will do whatever it takes to fill their own coffers.

    I’ve seen so many aseholes on LinkedIn applauding Microsoft’s exit packages. Many of them neither work for the company nor do they have insight into why that decision was made. I am not interested in my livelihood being fodder for your AI slop posts that you use to sell your crap AI agents. Stfu

    It’s super weird that we’re all applauding the AI researchers quitting because AI is going to go out of control. Right as the AI CEOs are saying the same thing. Right as these companies are preparing to IPO. Right as institutional investors are finally acknowledging the bubble and lack of profit

    TIL I learned about Network States In essence it’s tech oligarchs wanting to create their own countries that are companies. It’s hyper capitalistic, deeply eugenicist, and should alarm every single person. Tech billionaires are a threat to global democracy

    The moment you talk with someone not working on tech, it becomes pretty clear how low tech fluency is. Which is one of many many reasons we need more tech policy advisors to protect people from companies taking advantage of citizens lack of fluency

    LinkedIn is always offering me this type of content now: “Over the last few months, I&#39;ve personally shipped 36 PRs and contributed 43K+ lines of code.“ - designer The question I would like to ask but won’t ask: Is the code actually any good though? Otherwise you’re just adding noise and slop

    The last 4 years have led to less accessibility and less meaningful systemic support for disabled people. I’m still figuring out how to feel about it, but one things for sure, I refuse to stop talking about this or making work accessible To hell to the ableists skyboxcritics.com/2026/07/28/t... https://skyboxcritics.com/2026/07/28/the-vanishing-art-of-disability-reporting/

    I think I’ve reached a point in my life where I don’t super care what people think. Everyone’s got an opinion about who you should be or how you should be. None of them are right for you, and all people have agendas. Figure out your own agenda and focus on what you want ya know?

    Hot take but I’m pretty sure a lot AI models are designed to push opinions to the right politically and dismiss valid concerns

    In my journey to figure out what I’m feeling related to my work lately, I realized I still love design, coding, building What I don’t like is this era of it. The culture and harm So I guess I realized I’m mourning It would be safer not to talk about it but I’ve never been good at hiding feelings

    Companies are using AI to create podcast style summaries of emails and meetings. All I can think of is a room full of tech bros like “Joe Rogan but for your meetings” Which makes my soul decays within me

    Remember me too? How about the Epstein files? Remember these before you give some BS argument about Platners innocence and the justice system ever actually helping the victims of SA.

    Anytime a special interest rant of mine queues up I look at my partner and I’m like I’m sorry you’re gonna have to sit down for a min. And my partner sits and listens patiently while I rant. Today’s rant was about the extreme inaccuracy and racial/gender bias of BMI as a health measurement.
