Since the "ceasefire" the Netanyahu govt has steadily taken control of more territory in Gaza, squeezing civilians into tighter areas, pushing them toward the sea. Where the hell is the Trump Admin & its so-called “Board of Peace” amidst this land grab?

You know, I should absolutely have seen that one coming. That’s on me.

I join the Committee to Protect Journalists & others in demanding an international investigation and accountability for her death. [2/2]

Yesterday, journalist Amal Khalil was struck by an IDF airstrike while she was reporting in southern Lebanon. As rescuers tried to save her life, they were fired upon.

Khalil is the 9th journalist killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon this year. [1/2]

Manfred, I would die for you. #DragonAgeVeilguard #DragonAge #VirtualPhotography

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

We should be learning from other countries...

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Here me out: take all of it. Take his shirt and shoes.

Tapping the sign

Corporate cowardice and greed will be the end of us. #cowardice #greed

reminds me of this classic

Was asked for more detailed breakdown on what DLSS 2 AI fails at. In short: - Changes facial structure - Adds makeup anachronistic to original composition - Inaccurate age capturing. Intensified, unrealistic nasolabial and brow creases - AI Face “sameness”. Carbon copies of the same plastic faces

Pure godless evil.

Trump is already spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his illegal regime change war of choice in Iran. Now, he's going to ask Congress to give him up to $50 BILLION MORE. My vote: hell NO.

85 schoolgirls. just one is a world, a future of infinite possibilities, a universe. that america has done this atrocity to 85 of them, that it will continue to do even worse... i don't even know what to say. i condemn this with every fiber of my being, but that doesn't feel like enough.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Another example of why I hate so much the folks who tell us this stuff is inevitable. It doesn’t have to be this way! Often when communities see the stakes, they reject ubiquitous surveillance.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one. It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

sometimes I think about this

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

Even setting aside ethics (but, yknow, THAT) - I just don’t want AI bullshit. I don’t want an AI pop star, movie, book, video game. Art is a conversation. Why would I stare at a dictionary run through the washing machine when I could read a poem lovingly constructed by someone’s hands?

It’s outrageous that Jimmy Kimmel is still censored on millions of Maryland TVs because Sinclair won’t stand up to Trump and his FCC’s threats to free speech. Their shameful bowing to the Dear Leader comes at the expense of viewers and the principle of freedom of expression.

There is no empirical evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Period. Once again the use of fake science endangers us all.

If you're looking for ways to fight the despair from the state of the world like I am, may I recommend booking a tour at your local wildlife rescue, or walking dogs that need to be adopted or booking an animal meet and greet at your local zoo. Being with animals reminds me of the good in the world

Media discovering groypers for the first time reminds me of when they first encountered incels. Those of us who study misogyny or followed Gamergate had been screaming about incel culture and violence for years. Coverage of hate groups is far too reactive.

It’s wrong, but at least we know he’ll be at peace

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

I don't think anyone should be allowed to make being a politician a lifelong career. Power corrupts over time which is why term limits are important.

i want to see sam altman set on fire in a public space

still wild to me that UBI isn’t like the default left of center position

just your daily reminder that anyone claiming that ChatGPT has emergent consciousness doesn’t understand how LLMs work and also doesn’t understand how consciousness works (no one really does) and the idea that we automagically get to AGI from here is like claiming that inventing the wheel = flight

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has gone from horrible to hell on earth. Over 60K people have been killed, mostly women & children. The Netanyahu government must allow the UN-led aid distribution system to resume. Children are starving, and we are on the brink of a full-blown famine:

Adorable little kitty… 🥰 🐈

"healing isn't linear" ok but it should be. i should be better every day until i reach 100% and then keep going, becoming unstoppably, supernaturally healthy

“Maybe I’m done getting tattoos,” she lied

I finished it. After just over a year. I finished the wheel of time. This is the first series to hold me like ASOIAF.

I am almost done with Wheel of Time. I am feelings lots.

There's never been a better time to order books from bookshop.org Get your next hot read while you support local bookstores and reject wannabe oligarchs 🦾

private equity firms have destroyed this industry these are the top shareholders in Microsoft, they aren't interested in viable products, employee livelihoods, or anything. they're interested solely in "line go up this quarter"
