It's good practice to lead with what you are doing rather than with what others aren't. Share what you are doing and invite others to join you.

They say that CEOs are paid the big money because they shoulder the responsibility and risk of the big decisions. When’s the last time CEOs suffered the consequences of their decisions? Even if they get fired, they still get a golden parachute.

I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

This Is Fascism

We need something like a “Fascistpedia” to keep track of those who collaborated with the regime. Later, they'll be scurrying to hide their cowardice and moral rot. A permanent record will guarantee enduring shame. Let’s give them their own museum.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

I spoke to Slate about why 404 Media is suing ICE for its $2 million spyware contract. The company ICE contracted with can remotely break into phones without the target even clicking a link slate.com/podcasts/wha...

One of the crazy things about the AI bubble bursting is that consumer sentiment toward AI has always leaned skeptical to outright negative but it’s an industry propped up by pure billionaire greed, sycophancy, and childish fantasy

A data hoarder on Reddit used AI to create a searchable database of more than 8,100 files about Jeffrey Epstein released by the House Oversight Committee, making it one of the easiest ways to search through a very messy batch of files. 🔗 www.404media.co/data-hoarder...

Take a moment to think about how badly Democratic leaders have screwed things up to allow this to happen: Republicans now hold a 6-point advantage in polls on the question of which party voters most trust to fight corruption.

Organizers in New Mexico spent a decade electing lawmakers who would put the question of universal child care funded by oil and gas royalties on the ballot and in late 2022, voters were allowed to decide on the matter directly. They voted overwhelmingly to approve it.

If anyone’s struggled to keep up with my threads on why the genAI bubble Is a bubble, here’s a simplified pictorial explanation, the plug is OpenAI and the sockets are Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home. Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

AI data centers are draining water, burning coal & spiking electric bills—hitting poor communities hardest. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Big Tech could power AI with investments in renewable energy to shape a sustainable future for all.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

The mostly redacted documents pertain to a New Mexico attorney general investigation that was launched in 2019 but never led to criminal charges.

There we are.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

so ICE is a jobs program for men who like to hit women and get away with it

“The cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made him seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy. "There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

What I want to know is if this is the first time Homan has accepted a bribe. In a normal Administration, he would be immediately fired and a full forensic investigation conducted. But in this corrupt Administration, they’ll lie and deflect.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

There should be better options in American politics than just neoliberal corporatism on one side, and authoritarian nihilism on the other side.

“AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,” said Adio Dinika, a researcher at the Distributed AI Research Institute…These raters are the middle rung: invisible, essential and expendable.”

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Before President Trump deployed troops to LA, Army officials determined that using the military to protect federal agents carrying out his cruel deportation agenda posed an "extremely high" risk to civilians and soldiers alike. Congress must hold the administration accountable.
