FUCK ICE

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

not beating the “AI art is lazy” allegations

fuck you the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh

Incredibly smart PR tactic from ICE to continue assaulting very handsome priests

my entire adult life, democrats have needed to be dragged kicking and screaming towards even the consideration that they should do right by the people who voted for them. i’m tired.

would be a shame if people called venues the way they did for Jeffries’ book tour

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

i feel like it's not getting enough attention that Fox News ran a *completely false story* based on AI-generated videos it thought were interviews with real people futurism.com/artificial-i...

this is why I think Matt Yglesias’ stance that we shouldn’t talk about anything other than healthcare is insane the average American doesn’t yet realize that Trump has created a Gestapo. Democrats need to talk about it and raise awareness of videos like this rather than just ignore it.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago police

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

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.

I was already a hard AI-skeptic but this cements my long suspicion that there is no feasible path to anything close to return on invested capital for these data centers. Tech would need 15 to 25 times current AI revenues within the next 2-3 years just to break even. Not financially viable.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

it’s a good reaction. there’s a concerted effort to turn a human shit stain into a fair minded saint and it’s our duty as human beings to keep things tethered to reality. i’m not out here proselytizing about 2+2 equaling 4 but if we got a slate of op-ed’s saying it equals 5, i would be!

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

The "from my cold dead hands" crowd wants to ban people from owning guns

Knitters, crocheters and other yarn enthusiasts are feeling the ripple effects of President Trump’s repeal of a tax exemption for low-value imports. Crafters face higher prices, delivery delays and supply issues.

"the national guard is picking up trash and putting down mulch, not stopping crime" sounds less like clown behavior and more like an actual propaganda effort at winning the hearts & minds of DC residents, so they became habituated to and even fond of the troops' presence

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

It has been wild to see what were always the two most paranoid pro-Second Amendment scenarios—the government snatching people away and sending occupying armies into communities—literally happen this year, to the delight of conservatives

It is a tribute to our dysfunctional information environment that right-wingers can basically commit 99% of the domestic terrorism, for *decades*, and that simple fact never penetrates to the public. They pay zero political price.

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

it's insane that for basically my entire adult life every election has been The Most Important Election and to save democracy we all have to abandon our principles and play nice with fascists and vote for a guy everybody hates. and now here we are and it turns out none of that saved democracy anyway

I do really think that being unable to give full throated support to Mamdani is a nice test of who should be primaried.

International students should go elsewhere for the foreseeable future. This is absolutely ridiculous.

"You're in a leftwing echo chamber" Man, I live in America. No I'm not.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me: “Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

The cure to the male loneliness epidemic™️ is to recruit 10 friends and acquaintances to your plan to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously, both to enrich yourself and to get one over on the guy who's with your ex-wife. Think of the opportunities for male bonding!

In the face of what's happening, anything less than breaking Israel's illegal blockade with shipping backed by the military is pathetic time wasting

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice". He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry. Formula. news.sky.com/story/almost...

white women need to keep doing this shit.

no it wasn’t and no it didn’t

I am going to keep screaming this EVERY time: do you know how fucking many hoops animal behaviorists have to jump through to get research alleging that animals feel happiness or sadness published and the WALL STREET JOURNAL prints that LINES OF CODE WITH NO BRAIN STEM can SELF REFLECT
