Bad AI supplanting human expertise is an issue that transcends any one field, but man—not many people on earth whose knowledge and dedication deserves respect like LIBRARIANS.

Deferral and finance schemes do not actually help mitigate climate change.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

WINSOME LOSESOME

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

Civil resistance by everyday Americans is the only way the shitfuckery ends. Take the energy from All Kings and start disrupting business as usual. youtube.com/shorts/1EGl7...

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

Keep the No Kings momentum going today by supporting your neighbors as government fails in real time. There won't be a SNAP distribution in November. People won't be able to buy groceries. So buy someone groceries. Stock your community fridge/shelf, or start one. And donate cash to a food bank.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Times Square is PACKED. DC Metro stops are overflowing. Small towns are filling the streets. Working people everywhere are saying it loud: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. #NoKings ✊💜

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

The best part about Sora is the watermark; that way I know whom to immediately block.

Gee where else have we seen ordinary citizens forced to hide their neighbors from an secret police putting people into concentration camps on the basis of their ethnicity in a country run by a personality cult headed by a madman driven by personal resentments?

Eat shit, haircut

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

One big asymmetry that Dems enable: Republicans attack Dem VOTERS as evil, enemies of the state and now, per Trump, a problem for the military to get rid of. We have one politician who called some of them deplorables and one who said they were weird and people behave as if these are the same

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Categorizing wrongthink as deviant mental illness is about as transparently authoritarian as it gets

The thing about AI is that it ultimately doesn't matter how realistic it gets, or looks, or sounds, or seems - those are all red herrings. The problem at its heart is that nothing it produces comes from a real person, and it therefore has no aesthetic value. That's it. No more needs to be said.

I wrote this open letter to my fellow science journalists, but it could very easily be adapted to address @jay.bsky.team and the rest of the bsky team galileospendulum.org/2025/06/05/o...

Journalism is not a crime.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Someone used AI to create a fake Fox News segment featuring Trump touting magical “MedBed” technology. He then used to his platform to amplify the nonsensical pseudoscience. Maybe now’s a good time to renew the whole “cognitive decline” conversation? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

I would have said “widespread deterioration of democratic norms” rather than “broad divisions”, but hey, can’t take sides right?

I’m sorry @vanityfair.com hiring Nuzzi is such a fucking gut punch to all the great underemployed journalists out there who don’t sext with their sources, which, to be fair, is pretty much everyone except Olivia Nuzzi

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Insane to rollout your billionaire-backed "ditch the trannies and fuck the planet" think tank the same week the most influential voices on the right are calling for transgender people to be locked up and subjected to Nazi medical experiments

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Transgender people need our support and solidarity more than ever. We either come together or we all fall. That’s where we are.

EXACTLY!!!!!

"Week after week, month after month, they embarrass themselves, undermine their colleagues and demoralize their voters. Theirs is a record of cowardice and capitulation."

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

🧵The Second Middle Passage Between 1808–1860, over 1 million enslaved people were relocated from the Upper South to the Deep South through the domestic slave trade. Auction posters document how this trade was organized and advertised. (1/6)

People are shouting "LOOK HE'S THE BEST WE CAN DO" about the Governor of California, meanwhile the Governor of Illinois is out here talking like John Wick while *also* standing up for trans people.

Harvard is systematically removing all of the support for LGBTQ students like the craven cowards they are. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight

I'm PhD in graphic design and Cracker Barrel's REAL problem is they didn't go *far enough*

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

so yeah, don't tell me about what Gavin fucking Newsom is good on. he's not good on what matters. he hates trans people and people without homes. he can fuck off into the sun.
