17 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy -- Sutter-- one of the Bay Area's biggest GAC providers-- appears to have backed off its recent decision to end care for under-19s after big community outcry. No word on if it's permanent.

Sutter reverses decision on ge...

Thesis: ChatGPT is destroying education, students keep using it to cheat on homework and exams.
Antithesis: ChatGPT has no understanding of facts or semantics.

Synthesis: Homework and exams don't measure understanding of facts or semantics, and can be fooled by plausible-sounding bullshit.

You know you've been working a bit too hard on your counselling studies when you misread a sign in the library as

Protect yourself from Freud

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled ICE broke federal law — arresting 22 people without warrants, storming homes, detaining citizens.

This isn’t safety. It’s terror.
It’s why communities fight back.

Street corn is like regular but it knows what corners you can score drugs on.

So when #Starmer said the other day that he thought that the police shouldn't waste their time arresting people who incite violence against trans people on social media and should concentrate on going after real crime instead, was this the sort of thing he had in mind?

Have you noticed how out of shape these masked ICE agents are? And that their pants and shoes are totally civilian casual? These are the folks who didn't qualify for military, police, or investigative work. These are the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, the lame Jan 6 mob, and their buddies.

No wonder they wear face masks: we aren't supposed to know who they really are.

@kiwix did you mean 29 August?

ICE showed up and stopped all of the people fighting a wildfire from working and made them all show identification. They then snatched two of the firefighters and no one knows where they are.

ICE won't say what their names are or why they were taken.

Correction: ICE prevented all 44 firefighters from returning to work at all.

Guess the fire danger can wait?

In South Africa, Christians are going to the police and falsely claiming that transgender people are mentally ill. This often results in trans people being taken to hospitals against their will. Where are the protections for us? It’s clear that we are being targeted here in SOUTH AFRICA!!

India surpassed China with population? Interesting!

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

“Open source, the thing that drives the world, the thing Harvard says has an economic value of $8.8 trillion.
Most of it is one person.

And […] not one of those single person projects have the proper amount of resources they need. If you want to talk about possible risks to your supply chain, a single maintainer that’s grossly underpaid and overworked.”

Yuuup. Baffling how so many companies depend on open source software without funding it, ever.
