Never thought I'd say this, but go Florida! BOO! Boo those "AI" f*ckers right off the stage!

Yes, all of this. We must not rush to replace human science with machine science. Just as calculators cannot replace human mathematics, we will always need human scientists in order to do good science.

This is very, very useful!

Worth the watch.

In which Bender and Hanna talk about what "AI" is, why it's problematic, and how we can effectively resist. Worth the watch!

Yes, and! 💥

Drunk Hegseth puts America last.

I'm going to a Love My Rights protest on October 18; how about you?

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Fresno, CA” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

This is perfect. I am also an "AI" hater.

EXACTLY. And the same with democracy: we have had a functional government for so long we have no direct experience of how bad an authoritarian regime can be.

war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength

Yep. Fuck Hulk Hogan. I'm not shooting up his grave marker, but I do reserve the right to the opinion that he was a piece of shit. You want to be respected when you're dead, put good into the world when you're alive.

Oof, that got dark fast..

We have a concentration camp on American soil. We have a concentration camp on American soil. We have a concentration camp on American soil. We have a concentration camp on American soil. We have a concentration camp on American soil. We have a concentration camp on American soil.

Some thoughts on The AI Con and a conversation between @emilymbender.bsky.social and @kobotic.bsky.social at RMIT last week: pivotnine.com/blog/musings...

Another opportunity to protest tomorrow, July 4.

I've just figured out what I'm doing for July 4, 10am-12. Who's with me? action.womensmarch.com/events/your-...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Powerful. Keep sharing.

Treat JD Vance on Bluesky like we did Donald’s birthday parade. Ignore it, don’t show up to watch it, and he will soon become sad and dejected.

Hey, NYT, get with it!

My Senator Alex Padilla dared to ask a question in a press conference and was thrown to the floor and arrested. This is what FASCISM looks like.

"[W]e also need to hold our institutions accountable. [...] university administrators are highly susceptible to the temptations of technology-driven downsizing, big tech donations, and the appearance of being on the cutting edge."

Signal boost. This is not okay.

Ukraine took out a full 1/3 of Russia's long-range bombers with only a few thousand dollars' worth of drones, and did it without killing anyone. That's how you fight back against an aggressor. Slava Ukraini!

Watch for the three Cs!

Our access to COVID vaccines is under attack. It’s more important than ever to make our voices heard by making public comment to the FDA by May 23 at 11:59 PM EST. Use our template available on our substack at peoplescdc.substack.com/p/vaccine-ac...

A fair question.

WOW. Pete Buttigieg is now my favorite politician. He doesn't just talk about how the other side is awful; he is very introspective about what we should do to make his own party better. This podcast is long but it is worth every minute. Mr. Buttigieg, please run for president! We need you!

My octogenarian parents have become activists! They watch Rachel Maddow every night and are going to all the marches. So proud of them! Happy to join them for today's march in San Jose, California.

Ready for the march today! #nokings

*Begging* journalists/media to use the correct terminology • Arrest w/o due process = unlawful arrest • Confinement w/o due process = KIDNAPPING • Transportation across state/international borders w/o due process = HUMAN TRAFFICKING • Politically-motivated internment site = CONCENTRATION CAMP

Written by my friend @emilymbender.bsky.social, and worth the read.

US friends: Have you found a march in your area yet? Tomorrow (Sat. April 5). Massive mobilization needs your body! There's one in most major cities. The march in Fresno, CA is 11am-1pm at Fashion Fair mall (starting at Shaw/Fresno). I'll be there with my cowbell! www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

Duolingo gets me rn

This is terrifying. This could be me. This person was born here, brown, was nearly deported. “Let me be clear: You do not need a passport to live in this country. Millions of Americans have never had one. It's not required for citizenship. It’s not even required to vote.”

Srsly, though

Hey, Gavin Newsom! If you want to have conversations with conservatives to show the people what you got that they ain't got, THIS is how you do it. Jon Stewart puts on a clinic. Take notes. youtu.be/tCuIxIJBfCY?...

I suddenly miss my grandma. Terribly. She was a huge fighter for social justice, way before her time. She would know what to do about all this.

This right here. FFS, Democrats, link arms and DO NOT CAVE. What Muskrump et al. are planning is way worse than a shutdown.

The 2500th Spelling Bee has an S!

I just called my senators. Take a moment to add your voice NOW.

And kudos to Rep. Keating (D-Mass.) for calling out the bigotry in no uncertain terms.

Disappearing lawful US residents for exercising their rights is NOT OKAY. Are you hearing me? NOT OKAY.

Who's got two thumbs and is ready to mail the payoff check for the mortgage? (Cat shown for scale. Cats don't have thumbs.)

Californians: write to Newsom now to let him know that he needs to do better. Sample letter in thread. www.gov.ca.gov/contact/
