Idk who needs to hear this but tech workers who have to have high salaries are still working class and should act (and be treated) accordingly. Tech workers have much more in common with miners and factory workers and secretaries and baristas than with management and executives.

Stop making those little AI image generator memes of yourself as a Barbie or a Ghibli character you are enriching evil companies and destroying the planet and this is like one of the easiest things you can just not do

BATCH BUNCH #0003 is complete. A fun-filled, productive session comes to a close! This time, we welcomed an attendee all the way from London and, universally, marveled at 'felting' being done IRL by another attendee. Hobbies FTW. See you next time? 🖱️⌨️🌐😌☕️
