Another reminder: Privatization of government institutions is a mistake which has been proven again and again. www.rosalux.de/en/news/id/5...

For journalists and progressives alike, when we talk about #AI & #datacenters, some important reminders from @andymasley.bsky.social. (e.g.- golf courses use way more water than data centers.) andymasley.substack.com/p/requests-f...

AI water usage is so small when compared to golf courses and mining operations, you can't even see it on a chart. www.understandingai.org/p/16-charts-...

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Why doesn't any journalist just ask Elon Musk how he got into Naziism and what he likes about it? His ensuing freakout will bring in about 1000x as many views as any stupid interview with him would.

My heart breaks for trans kids, who do not deserve this obsessive animus that adults are directing at them.

I don’t understand why @bsky.app doesn’t have a language filter (that works). What value does seeing posts in other languages have to me? They just take up space on my timeline.

I keep getting tricked into "trying" new cold brew concoctions only to constantly be 😝 by how bitter they are. Blegh, who enjoys this?!

This explains so much about #StudenLoanForgiveness, #UniversalBasicIncome, #HousingFirst, etc.: "I want no one else to succeed." kottke.org/25/05/i-want... (Click the link to read the rest or watch the TikTok source.)

Hey, so if you're anti-AI, just don't @ me or engage with me, k? I super-duper enjoy having interesting discussions with skeptics, and people who want to learn more, but I find vehement hatred to be off-putting and stressful. There's no reason for us to have an argument, so let's just not 🤷‍♂️

Wow, a comment on HN I actually agree with!

Great infographic from www.reddit.com/r/DeFacebook...

I’m not judging any form of protest but I do agree that it’s important we remember that we can’t defeat fascists with logic. Like, idk how else to say this & it might sound like I’m an asshole but people on the side of liberation are already correct about everything. They still beating our asses.

The problem with these kinds of gaffes is that most people in America don’t know what habeus corpus is.

I love hearing from people who've used ChatGPT for approximately six minutes about how bad it is at doing anything and how it's all hype.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Progressives should be fighting for shorter work weeks from AI's gains: #4DayWithAI fourdayswithai.com #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

Asked ChatGPT to make a picture of my dog Baxter, who passed away in 2020, sleeping in a peaceful place 😭

I think I've realized something about the #AI debate: People who are vehemently against AI have no conception that someone else's enthusiasm for AI might be genuine, or more than just about making money, or that there's any room for wonder and hope within this tool.

The best thing that could happen to Mozilla Firefox is Yahoo buys Chrome. That company absolutely destroys everything it touches.

lol love this prompt I found on @annemurphyai.bsky.social's LinkedIn, who got it from @marymasseyai.bsky.social.

Breaking up Google is a good thing, and will result in more innovation, more wealth created, and more tech advancement.

Did they not end up doing this? Because I hadn't seen anything by my friends in months or years before I quit a few months ago. So, effectively...

Oh, so maybe the fact that I've had like 15 of these—at least five of which were on my gd face— isn't great, huh? arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Not in the habit of praising billionaires, but this from Warren Buffet is pretty great: "So thank you, Uncle Sam. Someday your nieces and nephews at Berkshire hope to send you even larger payments than we did in 2024....

I'm looking for the stories of people who have been through hell & back trying to get a job. Have you been duped by a ghost job? Taken a job offer only to find out they change the terms after the fact (e.g.– told you it was remote and then made you come into the office)?

When is this style of public discourse going to go out of style. Nihilism is so passé

This is bananas. These people are too fucking stupid to be real, let alone in control of anything. gizmodo.com/trumps-educa...

lmap GOP. You'd better hope this works, otherwise you're not going to see the inside of any building in DC again until you try another coup.

I wish what Apple would do around AI, now, is more about protecting people on a day-to-day basis from AI being used maliciously. Apple makes phones, so why haven't they set up a system that ensures me the person I'm getting a call from is, say, my mother's phone number since we both have iPhones?

So my wife is a pediatrician and works in some hospitals with high vaccine and intervention hesitation (suburban ones). She has found *tremendous* success by just letting the families know she will have to document the higher risk of specific, and often fatal illness, in the chart of their child.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Long b4 Ds settle on tactics (how to stage press conferences, what kind of things to post on social media) their leaders, starting with Schumer & Jeffries, need to change their mindset about what it means to be in opposition. Ty @brianbeutler.bsky.social for letting me share some ideas here ↘️

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

@awkword.bsky.social @tendemands.bsky.social Looks like www.tenforjustice.com was resold to someone else (domain squatter)? And the links in the PDF toolkit don't work now. I build stuff on Carrd a bunch (e.g.- electkamala.vote, and my own site jordankrueger.com among others)...

Google took down our website. @awkword.bsky.social is working on it, admittedly slowly (sorry!). In the meantime, here’s the official TEN DEMANDS toolkit, created by TEN affiliate @dalatindiva.bsky.social. Take this to your mayor and city council. drive.google.com/file/d/1MKG3...

Good to see that there are protests happening!

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

At what point do Americans who voted for him — knowing that burning fossil fuels shortens our lifespans and gives our children asthma — look at this and go, “oh, he’s actually trying to kill us”? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/c...

Please stop putting tomatoes in everything, ffs

I know social media has always been full of this but, I gotta say, Bsky has the most tryhard virtue signalers on the planet. Y’all are waaaay too concerned about insulting Cybertruck drivers and assuring everyone that you don’t do anything that middle America finds fun or entertaining.

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

I sure do see a lot of mushroom content here on Bsky and I’m really not sure why
