βAcross U.S. prisons, LGBTQ inmatesβespecially trans womenβare disproportionately assigned to clerical jobs: typing, filing, data entry. Staff justify it as βtheyβre good at paperworkβ or βless likely to be violent.β Pay: pennies per hour. Many say itβs forced feminized labor that trades on stereotypes while keeping them visible & vulnerable to harassment.β

The evolution of pizza delivery is the plainest example of our everything-to-the-top economic decline.
=Ordering a pizza in 2005=
Customer: I would like to place an order with free delivery!
Business: Thanks! One of the drivers on our payroll will arrive shortly!
Customer: Great! I will tip them at least $3, or more if anyone in our household is attracted to them or likes their jokes!
Driver: I will now buy other things with minimum wage plus tip income, and write the gas and mileage off my taxes!
=Ordering a pizza in 2025=
Customer: Why is this pizza $30?
Business: We donβt know. If you need delivery, please order through the app.
THE APP: With our fees your pizza is now $45. Would you like to tip the driver? Otherwise, we wonβt pay them.
Customer: Wait, none of this is going to the driver? What are these fees for then?
THE APP: They are for The App.
Business: We also have to pay for the privilege of being on The App. If we donβt, weβre aborted from the internet.
Driver: If you donβt tip, Iβm yeeting that pizza through your front window, because I just depreciated the value of my car for negative money.
Customer: Why did I pay $15 in fees to get my pizza yeeted?
The App: Good question. The fees are now $17. I recommend blaming a foreign war or food stamps for this.
I keep hearing about new AI software because of crazy shit people let it do, mainly deleting entire codebases or drivesβ¦ So Iβve been playing with google AntiGravity lately (in a VM because im not an idiot)

GOPβs βcoercionβ panic is projection: They ban abortion, endangering victims (9,000+ more IPV incidents since Dobbs), then accuse providers of abuse. βThis case is about coercion. Plain and simple.β Real coercion? State-sponsored forced pregnancy killing pregnant people.

Recent events have compelled me to issue a reminder that βleftistβ does not mean βvibes with the cool kids at harvardβ. it means opposing capitalism. by definition, if you support capitalism - or endorse (willingly or by default, whether at home or abroad) the genocide, apartheid, exploitation, racism, sexism, homophobia, grievance politics, transphobia, political intimidation, or imperial violence that capitalism relies on - you are not a βleftistβ.

According to public documents, they are located at 16715, Destiny Cove, Austin, TX 78738-7421.

Jared Birchall laughed about it. He absolutely loved it. His lovely wife Laura Birchall thought this was very funny.
Jared is obsessed about his privacy. He doesnβt want anyone to know who he is.

Wish I knew why this happens every time i unlock my screen⦠It must be triggered by something because the number of times it reshows the bar is different depending how long ive been away. Reloading hyprland configs fixes it just fine so its a very minor annoyance really, but an annoyance none the less.
Just noticed a backlog of 200+ videos that needed to be unblock on my peertube instance because i forgot to turn the autoblock feature off until this month. Now new uploads should show up like normal.
I took my daughter to buy a car today. The dealership could not run credit report due to AWS outage. She called the bank, they could not approve a large transaction because of the AWS outage. We went to the DMV, they were able to get her a replacement car title, but also mentioned some systems were down. Back to the dealership where they could not do the credit application to buy the car.
In a completely unrelated note, I think I have some ideas for disrupting Capitalism...
