Jose Ochoa, a U.S. Citizen and Portlander, was apprehended by ICE this morning and remains incarcerated awaiting a hearing on Monday. As you march on Saturday, consider supporting Jose's family who are facing a challenging legal battle to restore his freedom in federal court. gofund.me/227e50344

Powerful sign at No Kings in Cleveland

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old drug addict post AI vids wearing a crown flying a fighter jet dropping sh*t on US citizens at a rally the same week he bitched out the world for not getting Nobel Peace prize & blew up boats so he could joke about it before.

So the president - wants to wear a gold crown as he - dumps feces on mothers holding babies because they are - protesting kings and fascists? OK. Just clarifying.

someone is lying and it’s not me

David Sacks is currently posting AI content of Trump as a king and Dems kneeling if you were wondering where his brain is at

My mom is a radical Antifa thug.

The trains in San Diego are packed with people heading to No Kings

This too is religion (extremely laudatory)

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Not included in this article, but a favorite retort of surveillance boosters is that the spying will actually work out better for poor people because they will get bigger and better deals and it’s really quite an episode of magical thinking.

There's people out there who think "the only people who dislike AI are people who don't understand it." Nah, fuck that. I wrote about why people who use AI are unhireable, and that point is relevant as shit today docseuss.medium.com/using-chatgp...

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

the shithead owner of this BIKE SHOP fought hard against a much needed BIKE LANE in front of his BIKE SHOP where they sell/fix BIKES and BIKE ACCESSORIES because fancy customers couldn’t PARK CARS right in front. now the bastard‘s hyping parking around back that was there all along. fuckin liar.

Adam Rose, press rights chair at the Los Angeles Press Club, told LAist, “Karen Bass is quick to run to the media for attention to criticize Trump for violating court orders (rightfully so!), but when the media is assaulted by her own LAPD, she never says a word.” laist.com/news/politic...

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

If someone wanted to take over the world in 30 years, all they would have to do would be to master long division and cursive.

Attention loyal subjects: I shall henceforth be known as Tortilla, Earl of Inverness, having claimed the title by honourable means (I called it first!). I shall rule with wisdom and compassion, and no rapey or otherwise pedo shit. Vere et iustitia! Vale nunc.

More than *anything* the people who actually know how technology works, who actually build things, wish that people would treat LLMs like every other technology, and be normal about them. Don't build a religion about them, don't force them on people, don't ignore the problems. Just be normal.

AI today is literally not capable of replacing the senior engineers they are laying off. corps are in fact getting less done, but they're banking on making an example of enough people that survivors put their heads down and help them implement AI in exchange for keeping their jobs... for now.

longer version of my quote: the megacorps use AI as pretext for layoffs, but actually rooted in end of 0% interest, changes to R&D tax credit (S174, h/t @pragmaticengineer.com for their reporting), & herd mentality/labour market fixing. they want investors to believe AI is driving cost efficiency.

30 people disappeared in this shaded area today.

“Your obsession with and constant annual threats to move Dreamforce to Las Vegas is ironic, since it is a fact that Las Vegas has a higher rate of violent crime than San Francisco. San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for Dreamforce”

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/pent...

These “young boys” are men in their 30s. Real men in their 30s don’t tell Holocaust and rape jokes, because they aren’t funny.

This is terrorism. Abolition of ICE and DHS is not enough. (Photos by Anthony Vasquez, Chicago Sun-Times.)

Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

Polly Samson ruined Pink Floyd[1] as a band whose music had profound lyrics. Therefore, A Momentary Lapse of Reason was The Floyd’s last great album. Final answer. Don’t @ me. [1] i write this as a member of Team Roger who still wanted to hear more from Nick Mason, Rick Wright, and David Gilmour.

It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

When you want to sell your small house for $1,373 per square foot on Zillow but you also want your privacy on Google Street View.

the results of this investigation surprised me. since CR last tested protein supplements in 2010, protein mania has swept the nation. protein isolates (the key ingredient in supplements) are in everything these days, from pasta to starbucks cold foam but as the industry has grown, so have the risks

to paraphrase Dorothy Zbornak, another piece of the puzzle

“Today, NPR will lose access to the Pentagon because we will not sign an unprecedented Defense Department document…That policy prevents us from doing our job. Signing that document would make us stenographers parroting press releases, not watchdogs holding government officials accountable.”

UPDATED: One woman has been found dead in the village of Kwigillingok, where another two people remain unaccounted for, after a devastating storm battered Western Alaska over the weekend.

I now realize that for my entire adult life, I've had a very narrow conception of what "supporting and defending the Constitution" means. Standing on business when armed agents of the State are knocking on your door is way more important, by a country mile, than anything I did overseas

don't worry, Sam Altman is confident that his efforts to eliminate vast numbers of jobs will all just sort of work out for the unemployed, eventually, possibly after they starve to death, which is technically a form of having it work out futurism.com/artificial-i...

An italian restaurant in Toledo, Ohio spent money for a massive pro-fash drape for the shitty building where they serve shitty food.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.
