Is it strong or weak to throw trans people under the bus? Is it strong or weak to target and destroy homeless encampments? Is it strong or weak to adopt your nominal enemy's platform rather than stand on principles? Gtfoh.

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

UPDATE: Turning Point Action lead & former AZ-GOP lawmaker Austin Smith was sentenced today after he forged signatures (including a deceased woman’s) for his re-election bid. Smith got 2 years of supervised probation, a $5.5K fine, & (due to AZ law) he’s barred from running for office for 5 years.

Glenn seemingly never met a Nazi he wouldn't give the benefit of the doubt to, at the very least.

better idea just read the news

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

It is amazing that global financial and political powers have decided that these people are building something worth trillions of dollars

after picking at some loose threads in 2021 i felt like it emerged more deeply from the phyllis schlafly / ed Martin wing of the conservative world, with shadier military twists and turns, than got attention unicornriot.ninja/2021/january...

The response to Jan. 6 was a stated attempted to restore and protect democratic governance. Five years on, I think it's safe to say it—we—failed. Latest newsletter for the five-year anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol: postsfromunderground.ghost.io/jan-6-was-ou...

The first communist city council member in Montana?

@browardcomrade.bsky.social is being sworn in tonight to the Columbia Falls, Montana City Council. They voted in a Communist. 🙃

I'm writing a book on this stuff but it's amazing the degree to which these tech bros are pushing network states into the public consciousness. Gaza, Greenland, El Salvador, Guantanamo, Honduras, Ukraine, Venezuela. Seems like all Trump foreign policy comes with a side of Network State.

The Hilton Hotel that refused reservations from DHS officials has now backpedalled and said it will accommodate them. Came after DHS X account posted emails. For years the right coalesced around businesses being able to refuse customers of certain demographics www.404media.co/hilton-hotel...

We spoke with @jamesrball.com about the state of "anti-disinformation" research and journalism, which... ain't as good as it once was, to say the least. Orgs have shuttered, funders have pulled back, and governments have grown hostile. Where did things go so wrong? www.patreon.com/posts/068-ho...

“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’” www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

In a stunning breach of diplomatic norms, Trump's ambassador to the Holy See issued a statement that misrepresented Pope Leo’s remarks on Venezuela in order to defend the U.S. military invasion. Such a misrepresentation is unprecedented in the history of formal relations between the two governments

lol doing water baptisms in Florida with an alleged rapist for Feucht wasn’t enough! After the second round of rape allegations he’s getting the band back together for the year ahead.

This was created by the Public Broadcastic Act of 1967 and needs congressional approval to be disolved. What they're doing is illegal. Half of Congress is fine with this and the other half is too weak and cowardly to do or say anything.

An official NYT response means this is clearly a sore spot for them and people should keep hitting the target

Turns out that I unknowingly caught an Amazon reality show being filmed between the centrists vs. white nationalists “debate” I covered in here and that makes the energy at this shit make *so much* more sense.

San Diegans in Imperial Beach held a vigil for Gary Gates, an unhoused local who was shot and killed by Sheriff's deputies on Dec 21. Gates may have been attempting suicide by cop—locals say his mental health crisis shouldn't have been a death sentence. www.instagram.com/p/DTJRwwokme...

The “family annihilation as public policy” observation by @jamellebouie.net can only be proven more precisely right with each new press statement

Can the U.S. government get a warrant to search for evidence that people violated "a statute that does not appear to exist"? Seems it did.

the goal is killing kids and we should say so

MAGA cultist Hank Kunneman purports to speak for God in declaring that the US capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro was "the work of the oil of my spirit": "They say you have seized Venezuela for the oil. Yes, this is true." www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Here's the link to the story

Logan Vaughan of Medford is part of TurningPoint Southern Oregon, claims to be a Christian minister, and implies he's a Proud Boy. He promotes the queerphobic DontMessWithOurKids and does Turning Point events while wearing an ICE Immigration jacket. In 2025, Logan was convicted of menacing.

My new, free access Patreon post is an overview of Hardline, based on Phoenix X Eeyore's "Total Revolution?" This bizarre micro-subculture promoted straight-edge, veganism, militant animal rights- & was anti-abortion & homophobic. Most fascinating book I read in 2025! www.patreon.com/posts/147487...

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

Heyo! I am in #SanJoséCA at Mexican Heritage Plaza for this WET Sunday afternoon's emergency "HANDS OFF VENEZUELA" protest. So far, about 50 people have gathered and a speaker system is being set up. There's very little shelter from the rain so not sure how much I'll be able to post 😅

I count 90 people visible at the Proud Boy-led rally in Salem yesterday.

OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

WELKER: Is the Cuban government the Trump administration's next target? MARCO RUBIO: Well, the Cuban government is a huge problem. Yeah. WELKER: Is that a yes? RUBIO: I think they're in a lot of trouble, yes

Une organisation terroriste espagnole liée à la mouvance « Terrorgram », The Base, a été démantelée en Espagne peu avant une action imminente. Ce même mouvement décentralisé continue de radicaliser de jeunes militants en France via l’application Telegram. @miquelramos.bsky.social

and then for hours used passive voice to pretend they had no idea who was behind the apparently spontaneous explosions

As of right now, I am aware of one emergency "HANDS OFF VENEZUELA" protest for the #SouthSFBayArea that was posted online around midnight. Tomorrow 3 p.m. @ Mexican Heritage Plaza in #SanJoséCA.
