I use Bookwyrm specifically because its barebones. It’s my favorite platform

Good. Let it fucking die.

Break out the guillotines y’all

OpenAI is going to crash so hard.

Oh look, another old white man with stupid ideas

I straight up thought this was AI generated…wtf

I remember Boston recently elected a really awesome mayor who prioritized transit…does anyone know how she’s doing politically?

How about we tax billionaires enough so that the government can train thousands of people to be heat pump technicians and potentially own their own trades business, and then also pay to buy and install them?

Today was not about determining consequences / repercussions. It was only about deciding yes or no on the monopoly issue. The next step in the legal process is determining repercussions for Alphabet, and it seems like there are some pretty dramatic options on the table.

Why not both?

Judging from the way many of my neighbors reacted to a homeless camp moving into a local park, I think there a lot of people homeowners who would literally jump at the first opportunity to “disappear” unhoused people

Ah, capitalism

Jesus fucking Christ the court system is just hammering away at my faith in the survivability of humanity under our current system over the past few days. I feel like curling up into a ball and crying at how hopeless this all feels.

Man, fuck everything about this. No way in hell a CPC government is going to shut this down if they are in power in 2029. The Liberals are such a profound disappointment.

If you really want to protect children, start by going after fossil fuel companies

I mean, if you can afford to pay your workers a living wage, then you can’t afford to field that job in the first place.

Getting rid of a company that pays my neighbor poverty wages is better for my community (and therefore for me), than letting said company keep delivering me a service of convenience while my neighbor can’t afford to buy food.

“Nothing hidden”, except for, you know, the audit plan.

To be honest I’ve found a really incredible community of like-minded people on BW and regularly find top quality book suggestions just from seeing what these people are reading. One key is to find your favorite books, and then follow lots of the same people who felt similar to you. Some will be misses and have bad recommendations going forward, but at least a handful will be very like-minded readers.

Thanks, friend! I appreciate the reply! Randonneuring is definitely the goal that I have been working towards. Finishing a 200km ride this year is my peak goal, as that would qualify me as a legit randonneur!

I think that perhaps I will pump the breaks on the 157km ride, since it’s on Canada Day and I think my spouse would appreciate me being available for childcare, but I think I’ll find a better training plan for completing the 200km in September.
