i have no defense for my home state of #Missouri, i did not know that this was going to become one of the battleground states for trans rights, abortion rights and the right to bodily autonomy.
i will only say that, like in every state in flyover country, there are plenty of marginalized folks here who are doing their damndest to survive and organize under the thumb of christofascist authoritarianism. yes, there are plenty of bigots and assholes too, but if you visit you will find flourishing areas of culture, beauty and vibrance that stand in direct opposition to fascism and hatred.
please don't lump us all in with the bastards. we're doing our best here. i promise if you give us the benefit of the doubt we won't even be mad if you don't like St. Louis-style pizza (but you should still try it at least once, seriously).
Regular reminder that #forcedpregnancy is rape and slavery, and all prosecutors, cops, judges, and law makers taking away that bodily autonomy are active rapists and slavers.
Treat them accordingly.
this is your regular reminder that the Infinite Arcade is one possible future. with a little luck, we'll all get there together someday.
happy friday, future people.
what a shame! the attorney general's petty little nonsense site got complaints he didn't like, as a show of support for Missouri trans people!
so somebody in my team meeting this morning mentioned laser tag, and i low-key mumbled that i think my long-term career goal is to open and manage a roller rink with a laser tag arena, partially joking; but now the idea has implanted itself as a subroutine into one of my long-term processing cores and over the next however many months it's going to be persistent daydream material for me and a source of longing and if-only angst.
really i just want to DJ sets of Jet Set Radio tracks for skaters. a nice, fun, dumb dream.

Yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey had a site put up to narc on trans people in Missouri (and likely out of state, too):
https://ago.mo.gov/file-a-complaint/transgender-center-concerns
However, the site doesn't do any kind of bot filtering, data validation, or even location validation (so long as you use a VPN and switch locations up!).
With that, class... UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHOULD YOU USE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT TO FLOOD THE SITE WITH FALSE INFORMATION!! That would be very, very naughty!! 😈😈😈

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.
Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".
Edit 2024: They went IPO.
