Hostile and violent attitudes toward women are the clearest warning sign of violent extremism, a study has found.

This stopped me in my tracks! I went to Bluesky and was greeted by this. I had to save it and share it here. Very true. I patriotic about the US. I think we still can be the best it can be, but we’re far from it right now. We need to get DJT out of office.

Quote above it says:

"Patriotism is the optimistic belief that your country could be the best.

Nationalism is the ignorant belief that it already is."

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

A couple of additional ones to look at: DemocracyLab https://democracylab.org

Civic Tech Field Guide https://civictech.guide

Also, I would suggest that context is as important as your technical skills. If there are nonprofits you are already familiar with, consider just approaching them to see if volunteering your tech skills is an option. Tech people looking to volunteer their skills often (IMO) overestimate the value of skills matching.

How to live in the age of AI - Gautami Reddy

A collection of drawings with suggestions of how to live in the age of AI.
- Read slowly.
- Make ugly things.
- Don't believe everything. (With a drawing of a man with a tie saying "the future is here, while a woman is holding a dog that's pooping while on a lead)
- Eat together.
- Get bored. (With a drawing of someone stargazing)
- Avoid instant replies. (With a drawing of someone playing with a fish in a fish bowl while their phone goes "ting ting ting ting!" on a nearby table
- Call your grandma/grandpa (A drawing of two people next to each other, have a phone conversation "Where are you?" "Right behind you"
- Fall in love (A drawing of two people dancing together)
- Cry every now & then (A drawing of someone lying on the floor, sobbing, while holding a flower and telling it "omg you're so pretty!"
- Memorise a poem (A drawing of someone holding a piece of paper, reading "I'm a phenomenally phenomenal woman, that's me!")
- Trust your gut (A drawing of someone who has freed three birds from a cage)
- Take your time (A drawing of someone working at a desk on a laptop. There is an angry person standing next to them wearing a shirt that says "boss". The boss says "Can you finish this in the next hour?" the person working says "Nope!" with a smile on their face.)

In the future, historians will marvel at how a U.S. political party documented their project to destroy America (aka Project 2025), won the elections and set about to dismantle everything that made America great without any mainstream discourse or accountability.

Fuck the Heritage Foundation.

Everybody knows that just a handfull of dragons terrorize humanity by ravishing our livestock, burning our crops, razing our villages to the ground, kidnapping and demanding human sacrifice – all while stealing all the valuables they find, hoarding wealth beyond belief in their giant mountain caves, just to lay on piles of gold and jewels, never using it for anything or contributing anything to their ecosystem, right?

Anyways, what do you think of my anti billionaire poster?

#SlayTheDragon

A drawing in an old timey woodcut style of a naked man holding down a dragon with his foot and raising a club above his head. On top of the image, in large, simple gothic style white letters are the words Slay the dragon

Because Omarchy news is going around, not so gentle reminder that the author is a vile, miserable, racist asshole who is calling for the eradication of entire peoples.

Sono risultati positivi alla difterite una decina di familiari e parenti di Anna Rosa Bartolotta, la bimba di 4 anni deceduta a Palermo dopo aver contratto la malattia infettiva. Nella maggior parte dei casi si tratta di minorenni. Nessuno è in gravi condizioni, anche perché tutti sono stati vaccinati. I positivi sono stati isolati e non dovranno avere contatti con l'esterno per diversi giorni
