it is absolutely incredible that PsychCentral decided to put up an article about anatidaephobia i assume someone on the Internet has already diagnosed themself with anatidaephobia, set up a support group, and is out there trying to win internet arguments by referencing their duck-related suffering

I think we have to basically consider "AI is inevitably going to result in superintelligence" to be a religious belief at this point. People are very literally expecting salvation

this video was EXTREMELY hard to watch. caelan handled it amazingly as always, just be careful because they go into detail of how chatgpt convinced these people to commit suicide. a lot of these tech execs need to be in fucking prison

you don't understand, they're trapped in the torment nexus, this is how anyone would react

PSA: AI image generation is not good enough to be anywhere near indistinguishable from real photos, and the AI companies are betting on people doing marketing for them by not realizing this and claiming things are possibly AI when they aren't

Business investments in Israel dropped 68% in the past year. The genocidal pariah state is hemorrhaging cash and spending millions on propaganda to push their lies to no avail. The Zionist party is over.

I posted something else in response to this but I'm now starting to understand that my wokest opinion is actually LAND BACK

I work for a data center and just want to confirm the failure rate for the GPUs is insane. Our teams replace multiple per week. And it's not even defect related, the heat and load just wear them out so quickly

new episode of kill the computer where we talk with @edzitron.com about his story that reveals financial irregularities for openai that he believes are a possible sign of the bubble beginning to burst

thinking about wearing this to the Bluesky ball

I'm working on a theory. Can anyone find me examples of Red Scare peddling in anti-trans bathroom panic nonsense? Did they get into this at all?

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately Taco Bell decree: Where Blast, the Baja river, ran So everyone across the land    Could live both más and free

it makes me happy getting comments like these, it’s good to know when we’re able to make usually unapproachable topics fun and worth while

Dead silence ensues

insane that you *used to be* able to take an electric train from Seattle to Portland and now such a thing is essentially unthinkable

You cannot prove to these people that you’re impartial or rigorous because they *don’t care*. They hate you, personally. They hate that their kids become your students and listen to you. They hate that people laugh at them and respect what you have to say. The only thing to do is fight.

I think violent rhetoric against pedophiles is fine actually. Do you not?

if trump got caught giving marjorie taylor green head would it be ok to make fun of him for it

okay so why is this post still up & account still existing? actual question. the account isn’t even verified like some of the other fed gov accounts either, but also it shouldn’t matter when they post “we will kill you” along with videos of them killing people.

If you want to help with the flooding you could maybe pick one person on this list (I’ll quote tweet the bottom of it in the next post so not everyone picks the first few families) and maybe champion them- you could message them if you like or just make a post/ send it in the group chat etc

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read." - James Baldwin

One of the most important lessons you have to learn about what a university "is" is a very vulgar marxist distinction between its *managers* (directly or indirectly appointed by capital and/or state government) and its *labor,* who come to the university out of love and idealism.

wait

The Torment Nexus tweet is very good, but I increasingly think that the issue isn't tech bro CEOs are illiterate (though they are) and misunderstanding dystopian ideas as utopian. It seems more that they delight in being evil and making products they know will harm people for profit.

Wonderful writer & warrior.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector. 100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land. That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

the concern is that 72-hr forced detox is definitely going to kill people

It never used to be dark by 5pm. They're doing this to demoralize you

ok i gotta hand it to them here this is metal as fuck 🤘

I think it’s cool when the grocery store asks you to donate to the food bank but also locks its dumpsters. It just makes sense

Horrifying

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Important update was yesterday B.C.'s Human Rights Commissioner said the B.C. gov's approach to drug use has been a human rights violation. Here's to hoping CBC adds that into the story because it's kinda real big. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?

this person sucks so fucking much

And so the genocide continues in hushed silence, with the rest of the world lulled into a false sense that it has ended... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

would it be being a buzz kill to point out that trump giving bill a bj is, unlike most of what we've been discussing wrt epstein, 100% legal and fine assuming both were consenting

They've just been straight-up misleading with these statistics since 2016, almost an entire decade, and they think that some slightly more credible numbers now are going to make a difference? Tesla is cooked, and they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't know it.

I just saw this photo and now you have to see this photo
