When it comes to computers, it’s difficult to program compassion. One Buddhist monk and Pitt professor is looking to embed “altruistic algorithms” into artificial intelligence.

Ironic, isn’t it?

I continue to be amazed at the absolute lack of courage

Why are you banning me, for what reason, what is the charge? Posting a joke? A succulent timely joke?

Kash Patel: [sweating profusely] IS ANYONE NEARBY TRANS

if this shooter winds up being a red-pilled groyper the Kirk newscycle length will be mysteriously cut from two months to two days

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

can i be real here and say that i am having fairly serious whiplash from the fact that one annoying american's death takes up more of the bandwidth of this website than the fact that russia droned poland yesterday

the rightwing loves to be like “this is the moment we become the nazi party”

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Protestors in Nepal overthrew the government in less than 48 hours due to corruption. They refused a curfew, spread protests across all cities, fought police in roaming street battles, burnt down politicians' houses, stole military weapons, stormed the parliament & burnt it, forced the PM to resign.

Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.

Trump's massive raid on the Hyundai plant in Georgia is huge news all around the world. But in the US it's barely even reported, much less discussed and explained. Something fundamentally wrong with US media.

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either. This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem  This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now 1/

If not for the deployment of the military, this would be the biggest story right now. Or at least it should be... "In recent weeks, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its sweeping bid to wrangle private voter data from states — including by threatening legal action."

there's a lot here, but the most important is "the tariffs are the ice cream on the cake of a perfect storm"

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Remember resistance isn’t always peaceful protest, sometimes is sabotage.

I would just remind folks, since it's once again relevant, that Pete Hegseth was the driving force behind Trump's pardoning and exoneration of war criminals during his first term. Hegseth has always defended war criminals and pressed for the ability of U.S. troops to operate lawlessly.

GO OFF LORD GRANTHAM

Great work by @lawrencehurley.bsky.social here: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Hilarious that they offered Adams a position at the US Department of the only thing they hire black people for

This headline is absolute bollocks (yes I read the article and that made me hate it more"

This is the second day in a row he’s said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.

BREAKING: VETERAN'S BEGIN A SIT-IN IN WASHINGTON DC AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE MILITARY LEAVES TOWN

This doesn’t feel very free speech-y

Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda. As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:

We are very far off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

ok it looks like there's a hearing; if you're in SF, try to make it out for this if you can?

Republicans are holding her And Dems let her sit in there alone

Fondly remembering when I saw Woz at an Airborne Toxic Event show, happily wandering out with a vinyl copy of I think Dope Machines that he had just bought

Headline doesn’t say the party but it’s pedo stuff so they didn’t really need to, did they?

Trump just said DC is more "dangerous" than Bogota. He's relying on 30-year-old stereotypes. Bogota is safer than most American (red state) cities. "Bogotá is generally considered safer than St. Louis, particularly regarding violent crime." Lower murder rate. Stricter firearms control.

Exactly like Washington, all three of these cities have reported a drastic DROP in crime over the first half of this year.

These are the bastards telling you they care about women's sports.

Stop attacking the VA

this may literally be the one subject on the planet on which everyone is aligned in this way I’m not sure you could get these poll numbers with “the sky is blue” or “two plus two equals four”

They couldn't trust AI to do this job for them, but health care coverage decisions? 👍

someone at a white house press briefing should ask why the president consistently refers to his black american critics as “low IQ”

They detained me for 18 hours because I was carrying a sign and chanting "Shame" at the #Ambridge PD

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

The ranks of the police would dwindle to nothing...
