This "red line" that Anthropic and OpenAI won't cross shouldn't need to be left up for your boss's boss to decide. If they are telling you that you're going to be part of the industrial war complex you leave... or if you're desperate for the job, you can at least be really bad at it. They need us.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission. Full statement from the band:

The product manager who works with my team has been busying himself vibe coding instead of giving us... anything? Now he's proudly showing off his project looking for us to "make it production ready". No exaggeration he needed 20+ docker containers to deduplicate the data between a couple xml files.

More extrajudicial executions. When are people going to finally say enough is enough?

If this hits you with nostalgia, you should start stretching before you stand up.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.

I still have my original somewhere and my son has one of the newer revisions. I learned so much from this book 🤓

Therapist: how do you feel when people talk about the weather? Me: 🤷🏼 I'm good with weather talk. Therapist: *notes* "patient doesn't fit dsm5 for autism" Me: So... what's your favorite type of cloud? Isn't cumulonimbus fun to say out loud? Therapist: *aggressively scribbles over last line*

We are not helpless against the oligarchy. We still have choices on where to shop, and to some extent, where we work. Vote with your pocketbook whenever possible. To those without many choices, no shame, the system is built that way on purpose.

We live in a world where everyone gets mad if they lose their wallet and its not returned but will sneer and tell their kids "finders keepers" when they find a missing one in the wild.

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

It's normal for us to get 1 or 2 days in the low 80's. This obliterates any known record for highs above 80 in February here. Actual temps I've observed have been even higher than recorded. It's getting real... #cooked

Not enough people are outraged yet. 😭

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Here's the problem, though. If you stand up to tanks in the streets, everyone will agree you're a Brave Hero. But if you stand up to the small things -- stopping the train before it really gets started -- you will be coded as *annoying*, as uptight, as moralistic, as uncool.

This thread is great, but this piece sticks out. When trying to prevent another “never again” moment, we have to push back early, on the small things, when it’s not yet cool, still cringe even. If we wait until the tanks are already rolling, the detention facilities full, then it’s too late.

It's really hard to find people who are reporting honestly about AI. Seems like most people either hate it with a burning passion or they can't find anything wrong with it. Just try and be good to people and the planet. Everything else will shake out.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

Good. Primary every single Democrat who isn't fighting fascism.

All tech is a double edged sword. Make sure to do something to level the playing field today ❤️‍🔥

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

Yes, even I expect myself to do better. Yet, at the moment I find myself unable. #sorrynotsorry

"I have friends, school, and family here in the United States. To this day, I don’t know what we did wrong to be detained. I feel like I’ll never get out of here. I just ask that you don’t forget about us.” - Thirteen-year-old Gustavo Santiago www.propublica.org/article/life...

I would like to take this opportunity to remind ICE that Musk is an African immigrant who lied on his visa application.

That moment when you settle into your vacation hotel room and realize you might have left the stove on.

Where's that "it wasn't a Nazi salute" crowd now? 🙊🙉🙈

Why does ice suddenly start pulling over white Americans only after they add a Mexican flag bumper sticker then? 🤔

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Paraphrasing, "We did this horribly unconstitutional thing in the most constitutional way possible."

"That ICE is an organization of terror. And when I said that, you can imagine, I have had colleagues on the Republican side who said ‘she needs to be denounced, removed, deported.’ Also xenophobic and racist and terrible fascist things. "

"In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Motion to stop calling it 'culture wars' when one side has culture and the other has nothing but malice, banality, and vulgarity. Call it 'attack on culture' idk, something else though

Tried getting out of the elevator too urgently and I ended up on the wrong floor. Too embarrassed to get back on so I guess I'm taking the stairs.

When it's 5pm on a Friday before a long vacation and your boss says he needs this last minute urgent report on his desk before you leave...

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

ICE AGENTS ARE FOLLOWING OBSERVERS TO THEIR HOMES. THEY ARE DOING THE EXACT SHIT JOHNSON SAYS IS INTOLERABLE!

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

I've been struggling to remember to take my ADHD meds for a couple months now and I JUST realized today that my fitbit alarms stopped at some point and that has been the whole problem 🤦🏼

Voting makes us feel like we're participating. How you spend your money is how you actually participate.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Be the person who admits their mistakes. We all make them. The only difference is whether or not you're pretending you're different.

The thing a lot of people get wrong about ADHD is this notion that if we cared enough about something that we would magically stop being ADHD and be able to remember things. Yes, urgency, novelty, and other things help, but they don't change the way my brain is wired.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

So you're mad at someone for being a grade A jerk. Why does acting like a jerk in response make any sense? Yet it feels like the default (western) cultural expectation.

No, Chuck, we want EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE of their organization prosecuted for their crimes against the American people. And then the abolition of ICE and dismantling of DHS.

ICE is not police. ICE is your drunk racist uncle who hasn't had a girlfriend since 1992.

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

“One cop we talked to—he appeared to be a lieutenant or commander—about babies being gassed said in response ‘that's too bad.’”

Remembering an interview with the creator of exploding kittens this morning. He was talking about sitting in the board room listening to the execs talk, feeling that imposter syndrome, and suddenly realizing they are just as out of their depth.
