May Day Strong: We are the Many
Date and time: Thu, May 1, 7:00am-9:00am
Location: The Crossroads, Sport Hill Road & Congress Street, Fairfield, CT 06825
Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.
Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.
May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.
They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong.
This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.
STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

In the future, personalized #XR might lead to "perceptual #FilterBubbles" where we only perceive what we want to see (literally!). In the worst case, everyone will have their own filtered version of reality with little to no connection to those of others.
In our new vision paper for the #PurposefulXR workshop at #CHI2025, we envision the opposite: personalized XR as a tool for creating individually and societally beneficial #PersonalizedRealities (PR).

Just watched a #TED talk (basically an ad) from #Google about their new #XR project. I really like the concept of XR, but I just don't understand how anyone can be interested in anything Google does given their ridiculous cancel rate of projects. They've already canceled several XR related projects. Why should anyone believe that this one will survive?
