i know i'm a big AI skeptic, but i do think it has genuine uses. for example, i've been using ChatGPT to try to get it to convince me to kill myself

Whenever someone does the From Athens To Rome To America thing what goes through my brain is that if you showed someone from Athens or Rome an entire society where everyone has to sell their labor to someone else to survive they would assume the apocalypse happened Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Ben Goertzel, popularizer of the term AGI and creator of the Sophia robot, congratulating Jeffrey Epstein the day after Epstein was released from prison. Goertzel is mentioned in the files nearly 800 times, including well after the Miami Herald investigation in 2018.

It is absolutely a choice.

Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

the internet: a heaven's gate for everyone 🤗

very dark times

A really important cultural turn is going to be people realizing that “the fan” and “the fandom” of anything is the lowest life form and must not be catered to in any way. Artists or critics or anyone should never once consider what “the fans” think

i truly will never care other than to occasionally enjoy Speed doing some shit like introducing the indignity of the diamond trade in Botswana to his audience

i love the american sports-watching public's unwavering devotion to the idea that the most distressed parties should be rewarded with the most support, but also that this concept only applies to sports teams and not like. society at large

it's actually shocking how stupid and underbaked all the ideas they hold are

NEW: Oklahoma regulators discovered strong signs of oil pollution, including high levels of salt and toxic metals, in one family’s drinking water. But for two years, they repeatedly delayed basic tests to find the culprit — then closed the case. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

early Blueface had such an underrated run... really enjoyed knowing nothing about him but the music

Vrabel and Josh McDaniels have both been pantsed. Vrabel has been awful situationally and Josh McDaniels has not made a single counter to anything. these guys were buoyed by patriot way hype. they are not like that!

Bad Bunny really might've just dropped GOAT halftime show ngl ngl ngl

it pains me that people actually real deal think Josh McDaniels is a good coach

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

deeply unwell shit.

James Peace.... under the jail

Issuing an ongoing “thanks” to everyone who elevated this guy as an exciting new voice of the forgotten, telling everyone they had to read his book

it's extra funny because he's on the lib side of anarchism tbh

You notice how with elections liberals describe the left as simultaneously all-powerful and singularly decisive to the outcome, while also being pathetic idiots who don't understand the first thing about how the world actually works? That remind you of how anyone else describes another group of ppl?

it's like this because most people don't actually like al dente pasta

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

Guys you gotta take reindeer organs

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

Incredible stuff happening at Spencer’s Gifts

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

labour is dead. the fox is in the hen house.

Oprah's worst guests vs. Batman's rogue gallery who ya got

God, for the millionth fucking time. We had it right before. School/rec: Play with who you want NCAA: Need doctor's note Pro/Olympic: Blood testing for T levels It worked. It was fair.

he's right!

this literally looks like a scene from THE FIRST PURGE

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

It remains entirely unclear to me what this company is "good at."

Josh Shapiro is a disgusting worm. Krasner’s opinion here should be the message of every elected democrat in the U.S.

What the public does not understand about these retaliatory cases is that what is on trial is the ability for men to abuse their power against women without consequence. When women lose defamation lawsuits for speaking up, men win the right to abuse with impunity

There’s literally a straight line between Trump, Epstein, and the retaliatory lawsuits against women who came forward with allegations against celebrity men like Amber Heard and Blake Lively. They all even have the same PR folks. And yet people still refuse to see it

Biden elevated this deranged, disinfo-spreading bigot to the role of Special Envoy on Combatting Antisemitism. We did it Joe!

the biggest anti-communists on the planet are all pedophiles so maybe communism might be good, alas the american mind cannot comprehend things like "what if billionaires didn't hunt us for sport" and "what if the government made sure you had a nice apartment"

hey man... this can't be acceptable in anything resembling a polite society

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

slavery

All bodycams are going to do is facilitate a surge in prosecutions for “assaulting agents” and improve data collection about protesters so good work everyone who pushed for that big reform.
