So, Alice Wong's work is still on Teen Vogue. They deleted the tag, making her columns harder to find. Serves no purpose I can think of. Whoever cut her column then deleted the tag: Hell ain't hot enough link to tag www.teenvogue.com/tag/disabili... contrib page www.teenvogue.com/contributor/...

Penguin Random House emailed me last night because their ebook team was going through the citations on TRUE BELIEVER and found like 40 URLs that no longer went anywhere I had to correct them, and luckily most were caught by the Wayback Machine, but some are just… gone Dead Internet Theory is real

I can‘t believe that we‘re willingly handing over crucial parts of our workforce, data management and even education to a criminal version of Clippy

Gmail has AI options that are enabled by default, to turn it off: Click on the Gear Icon in the upper right General Tab, scroll down to "Smart Features" and UNCHECK THE BOX Right below that is Google Workspace smart features > "Manage Workspace Smart Features" and make sure both toggles are OFF

If you have a copy of Let This Radicalize You, please note that there are appendices in the back of the book that include instructions for treating pepper spray and tear gas exposure and advice from a movement lawyer about what to do when the feds come knocking. Relevant advice in these times.

every day I feel worse about the next 6-12 months and better about the next 2-5 years.

The irony here is that academics don’t just write the articles for free—we also referee and edit for them for free. Something is deeply broken. “New Zealand's eight universities spent $30-million a year on journal licences and about half of that sum went to Elsevier. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Don't cross the line

A very energetic X5 solar flare occured hours ago from AR 4274. This is the sixth strongest flare of the current solar cycle. A fast, full-halo CME has left the Sun and will probably hit Earth in a couple days. This week could see some fairly intense geomagnetic storming...

weathers changing. more time for gaming

this is a good description of the current problem with GenAI although calling it "an FAQ" hurts me to my core, please stop

Hey y'all, come on through and help @nkjemisin.bsky.social raise money for the New York Common Pantry! If you can't make the stream, donate here: tilt.fyi/YVoFdn7Efo

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

sounds like it's about time to make that revenue number go down again

FAl has today voted in favour of submitting a motion to UEFA to ban Israel from all club and international competitions 🇮🇪🤝🇵🇸 #GameOverIsrael #showIsraeltheredcard #Soccer #Football #UEFA #BDS

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

I’m not bailing out the only people in the world who can actually afford to lose $13 billion. Go fuck yourselves.

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

If you see someone stealing food - you didn't see someone stealing food.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

Malnutrition can cause chronic illness & disability If people have to start rationing food, some will end up with chronic health issues. The stress of not knowing if food assistance will be paid is also taking a tremendous toll on people’s health Check on each other & feed those you can

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

just trying to recommend a gymwear company and i get sexually harassed smh when will we stand up

lol wtf is this headline?? I had to look it up and MS owns* 33% stake in OpenAI and they claimed a loss of $4b due to their stake which implies OpenAI had a loss of $12b *since then MS stake is 27% due to restructuring

I'm begging journalists to look into this. I know first hand how many schools/religious institutions/restaurants/sport clubs etc. had fundraisers over the past 2 years for Gaza and handed big checks to multiple organizations. Millions and millions of dollars meant for the people of Gaza...

Nancy Pelosi secretly being queen of the stock market and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vocally opposing elected officials profiting off the stock market feel like intrinsically connected facts that quietly explain their instant bad blood the minute they became House colleagues

“Why is that a problem? The recent online safety bill required websites to verify the age of their users, companies hired third party services to do the age verifying part. Those companies were hacked. Users’ images and personal information stolen and used for God knows what, by God knows who.”

1 in 8 Americans relies on SNAP. For every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds nine. Food banks are not prepared for the influx that’s coming when SNAP is cut off. The “richest country in the world” is about to let millions starve while they fund wars, genocide and tax cuts for the wealthy

What percentage of politicians in your country are still relying on this site as a primary means of public communication? It feels slightly maddening that this isn't being treated as an extremely urgent problem.

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire. Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

I wrote quite a bit for #AceWeek, but the piece I’m proudest of is also the most difficult: Why TERFs Don’t Like Asexuals Either www.pillowfort.social/posts/6789909 An in-depth analysis of what TERFs believe about #asexuality and #asexual people, and why it’s such a common target of theirs.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

Jackasses braying about how there need to be fewer (x) depicted in their (y) because they have been interacting with (y) for YEARS and have never ONCE met an (x) who likes it are self-reporting on a cataclysmic scale, and don't even have the decency to realize it.

Social approbation MATTERS to people. That means that if you publicly deride people, they will HATE it. Look at how elites have lost their shit because regular people on social media clowned them and did not bow down to their 'supreme amazingness'.

Remember this can also have some long-term consequences that are really serious. Certain diagnosis or medications can have implications on future employment as well as the ability to hold certain certifications and licenses. Getting your medical record corrected after this will be an nightmare

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on. You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com

Everything matters and yes this does too.

arstechnica.com/ai/2024/10/h... This is funny: one way to tell that openAI scraped YouTube, is that its Whisper transcription is biased toward transcribing inaudible or garbled text to "drop a comment in the section below" or "please like subscribe and share" and such

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

The vast majority of people are one accident or serious health issue away from financial ruin. They judge those who need social assistance without realizing that it could easily be them needing assistance tomorrow. You are closer to being disabled or homeless than rich.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant

Please share, just 14 hours left. We will be here for years. You get that, right? No NGO or foreign government is stepping in to help a mom get enough nutrition to carry her baby to term, or house H’s malnourished toddlers, or expel the IOF from families’ land. 100/1000
