my most ungrounded and unresearched fear is that so many companies are pushing AI in part because it builds them a pathway towards a subscription model for a huge number of things that should not be subscription, but theoretically could be:

do you want to talk to verizon's help desk because there's an error on your bill? to access a real agent, you have to pay for Verizon Access+, only 5.99 a month.

want to filter out all the fake job postings from the real ones? subscribe to Indeed: Advanced Tactics and only verified postings will appear on your dash.

sick of the infinite ai slop? buy Google Premium; it'll automatically detect ai within a site and gives it a credibility score. with premium plus, you can shuffle high-credibility results to the top.

do you want a "luxury" experience? well, you'd have to pay for that luxury, and since the company sure doesn't want to pay its employees; the cost would fall to the consumer.

when automation has made every experience unpleasant; the experience of genuine humanity will be commodified.

This disability pride month I would like the community to understand that Sometimes wheelchairs aren’t freedom.

Sometimes using a wheelchair means you can no longer get to the places that used to be important to you, and not because of man-made inaccessibility. I have sat with someone as they cried because they could no longer visit the place they had scattered a loved one’s ashes because not even the most expensive wheelchair in the world could handle the terrain. As much as I wanted to, my wheelchair meant that I couldn’t position myself in a way that would allow me to give them a proper hug. In that moment, our wheelchairs felt more like heavy weights than freedom.

And sometimes wheelchairs are like the legs of someone who can walk but would maybe benefit from a wheelchair themselves. Sometimes wheelchairs are exhausting and painful and you’re counting down the time before you’re able to be lifted into bed. Sure, like painful legs, you can do more with them than without, but constantly performing gratitude for something that hurts you is exhausting. And again, not because you need a better wheelchair, but because those are the limits of your body and the technology that exists.

Yes it’s important to challenge the idea that wheelchairs are always a tragedy. And yes, there are lots of people who have a positive relationship with their chair. But for a lot of people, including me, the pressure to love your wheelchair and see it as freedom is painful and feels like it erases huge amounts of my experiences with disability.

Been going through my recent followers to remove the bots and have made a rather annoying discovery-

Quite a few pro-Trumpsterfire blogs have started following me. I'm sure some of these are bots as well but let me say this plainly.

Fuck that man. I am going to party so fucking hard when he finally kicks the bucket.

Fuck off with bigotry of any and all sorts. Learn to be better people who care about others simply because they *are* people. Except Trump. Fuck that guy.

[kedreeva]

I have got a bottle of nice cherry brandy sitting under my television in preparation for the news. I have been collecting 4-leafed clovers all summer, carefully pressing them between pieces of cardboard and stacking them on top of the bottle, ever hopeful that today will be the day.

Because fuck that guy.

I was, and am, very much planning to post that song when he shuffles off.

*sniffs* I smell antisemitism. Yep. Antisemitism. Say that you hate diaspora Jews and don't think they should have been allowed to make their offerings to G-d with your whole chest.

[bobblestheninja]

@dancinbutterfly I am perfectly willing to admit that I don't know everything that might be antisemetic, but I am not entirely sure how it applies to the original post.

The general gist of the versions of the story that I've heard (from how I've always heard it told at least, mostly back when I was in Sunday School) was that when Jesus went to the temple during Passover there were a bunch of people who had turned it into a marketplace where they were selling livestock, and that they were turning a location meant for worship into some kind of marketplace. Also that the money lenders were taking advantage of people while doing the exchanges, and it was generally really scummy business being done.

The message they always seemed to apply to it was "Jesus doesn't like when people try to turn houses of worship into markets, and he really doesn't like scammers and con artists. Don't sell things in church, and especially don't use it as a place to con people."

I'm not entirely sure where exactly the connection to offerings would come into play.

[dancinbutterfly]

You need to remember that the New Testament is literally not figuratively Roman propaganda written by people who are trying to survive following a failed uprising after the majority of the indigenous population have been slaughtered and exported to the West as slaves or escaped to the East.

So.

The money changers are at the Temple because Ancient Judaism wasn’t like Judaism today where each synagogue is self contained. It was a temple religion. Ancient Judaism was a temple religion Hinduism and Buddhism is where sacrifices are made. For Temple Judaism with the Holy of Holies, be the time Rome colonized Judea, Jews made grain and animal sacrifices a monotheistic G-d.

Before the Romans sacked the Temple and stole our treasure (you can see a depiction of the theft on the Arc of Titus next to the Coliseum), the BeitHaKadosh, aka THE Temple in Jerusalem was the place in Temple Judaism that people came to to make pilgrimage to G-d. Just G-d. He is only there. Temple Judaism was centralized.

Come to the Temple. Spend the shekels you can afford get the portion of the right kind of goat and grain. Make the sacrifice.

Very organized.

So why are money changers at the Temple?

Well Jews live all over the world. That was true then as it’s true now.

We have for example fragments from hundreds of years before the Christian bible was written of a letter written from a Jew in Egypt to a relative in…I think it was Samaria??… talking about Passover preparation. (@prismatic-bell you know the one I mean )

So you’re a Jew from Egypt with Egyptian money and you need an unblemished goat to make a sacrifice unto the Lord your G-d, how are you going to get it? You found a good goat but the merchant only wants shekels.

The money changers do a service. If they are Jews and they do it at a fair rate? They they did it within the Commanments of G-d and enabled other Jews to serve G-d.

Jesus is an uneducated carpenter reacted like angry teenager who read a blurb about what divinity could be but who doesn’t understand that all of these things - the marketplace the livestock the money changers - can and do exist to serve G-d as it functioned in Temple Judaism.

Jesus’s response is Roman. He just reacted decided to destroy the Jewish way.

I don’t bother to entertain the “was Jesus real” question. The writer decided to write a story that distains and destroys the entire functioning of Temple Judaism.

It’s antisemitism.

[prismatic-bell]

I'm going to gently suggest this one wasn't actually intended by anyone as antisemitism. While the text being referenced here is indeed antisemitic, I feel like it's one of those "you don't even know what you don't know" things. Sort of like this article I read last year about how the worst getting-to-know-you question a white person can ever ask a Black man is "so, what do you do?" It comes across as confrontational and potentially judgmental for reasons I don't remember all the details of, but it comes down to how socioeconomic pride functions in Black communities. I read that article and was horrified because I'd always learned "so, what do you do?" as a polite conversation-starter. It never would have occurred to me that someone might find it not just rude, but belittling.

I suspect this is in the same vein. Most people are not hanging out with Temple-era Jews and have no reason to have learned this, and Christianity itself has this weird duality where the "old testament" might be allegorical, but because the "New Testament" takes place in Roman times where record-keeping became so much better, clearly it's actually accurate and this stuff was actually said and done.

....of course there is the fact that a lot of the "history" and social records at this time were hagiographies designed to gas up whichever leader you needed on your side, but I don't think most people know that, either. The only reason I knew it as a teenager is because I read American Gods, where they tell you (correctly) Herodotus was known as both The Father of History and The Father of Lies.

You're full of shit, Hawaiians are just able to levitate coconut milk.

[prismatic-bell]

This looks like it should be a shitpost, so I want to emphasize it is very, very real, and well-documented. No, it never looks less fake. Here are some other photos, including ones where part of an object is off the ground so you can see how the shadow is cast.
