It’s such a weird position because it casts left-wing people as the only agents of history but reactionary centrists primarily appreciate right-wing and center-right figures

This lends more evidence to a theory I floated to @adriandaub.bsky.social on our forthcoming episode of @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social: that the right is consuming the snuff film of Renee Good’s murder as a kind of pornography.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

That VC is moving in lock step is not a good thing, it's a bad thing!

game devs be like "oh well there's no ai art in the actual game, we just use ai art to come up with ideas and then we draw our own versions" and every single time i watch their trailer, go "this reeks of ai", and then go down and see the disclaimer and am right don't do it! it makes ur art bad!

So the official position of Republicans is now "Obey Law Enforcement or You Will be Murdered and Slandered as a Terrorist" This position brought to you by the party of "small government" and "individual rights" Complete lunacy.

EVERYONE DO THIS SURVEY MAKE DISCORD PANIC AND REGRET AND REVERSE COURSE DROWN THEM IN YOUR HATRED FOR GENAI

It's already gone. The Twitter you loved, the place where you made friends across the globe and learned about a million different things, where people shared art and book recommendations and started movements, it's been gone for a while now.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

Rallies will be held across Australia against a visit from Israel's president Isaac Herzog, with organisers calling on the government to instead impose sanctions on Israeli officials Melbourne rally organiser Jasmine Duff spoke to 6 News: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlRl...

ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, while she was in her car on Jan. 7. The fatal shooting was at least the 9th time ICE agents have shot into cars since September. At least 5 people have been killed in Trump's immigration crackdown. 32 others died in ICE custody last year.

Remember when the Australian Jewish Association fiercely opposed the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, calling it divisive and against Aussie values? Fast-forward to 2026, and they're backing Jillian Segal's role as Antisemitism Envoy—basically a Jewish Voice to Parliament without a referendum.

One thing I think about a lot with the ICE assaults on daycares is, these are meant to be sanctuary spaces for both children and women. They are spaces where safety of the vulnerable is supposed to be THE most foregrounded concern, all day every day

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

“It turns out that when you put normal cops into soldier gear, you don't get soldiers. You get paramilitary goons.”

I try to avoid hyperbole, but I know a fkn pogrom when I see one.

I mean come the fuck on, liberal white women are a CORE demographic of the party, and MAGA is now stating it believes it legally can execute them in the street like feral dogs.

ICE is covering for their own. Cops frequently cover for other cops. Its INSANE that ICE would be allowed anywhere near potential evidence in this case. The entire Trump admin wants to cover for this bastard because they don't want any limits on ICE power. This is obstruction of justice.

If you needed more proof that ICE exists to harm marginalized groups here it fucking is. Haven't we done enough colonial bullshit to the Native Americans? We literally genocided them. One of USA's most evil crimes. Leave them the fuck alone you ICE nazi freaks.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

Good. Shun all Nazis forever.

I said at the start of this that the real test of the completeness of Trump's victory would be in how Americans reacted to masked thugs abducting their neighbours. I hoped they'd fight back, and I haven't been disappointed. This battle will be won in the streets, not the halls of power.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

One thing Ross’s angle of the shooting reveals is that he had pretty decent evidence that the person he was about to shoot is a Lesbian and I don’t think it’s unwarranted to venture that this influenced his eagerness to kill her

our society protects white women like it does fetuses. theoretically and from a distance, until they become an actual person, at which point they are too much of a hassle and probably deserve all the bad things that happen to them

So to return to this: Mussolini had 200,000 blackshirts for the March on Rome in a country of ~35m. Hitler had 400,000 brownshirts in 1932 in Germany for a population of ~60m. So around 0.6% of the population. 0.6% of 340m Americans is just over 2 million. They do not have enough goons.

So "edit out something we don't want to be in a scene" is conceptually a useful editing feature, but the choice of how these companies advertise is damning, Everyone knows, obviously, new tech will be used for porn, but we also generally don't foreground this in how we discuss it, for good reasons!

A queer woman wouldn't be intimidated by a man with a gun so he shot her, killed her, and then called her a fucking bitch on camera before his buddies prevented a doctor from seeing to her wounds. I hope the kindness he extended her is returned threefold. So mote it be, motherfucker.

I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Amazing seeing the "don't tread on me" crowd absolutely backing the state in killing an unarmed mother. Why do all the core values of the right fail under the most basic of tests?

Yes! Yes!! My party is in power!! Time to hit the streets and do violence to my neighbors!! I'm assuming of course that no social, cultural, or political forces, let alone those caused by my own gleeful actions, will ever tip the balance of power away from us

you absolutely could sell the frozen raw meat dog food to Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan fans simply by slapping a different sticker on it

“lol imagine that, this person thinks my man food is like a dog’s,” I say, unpeeling the plastic film off my microwaveable, high protein, self contained in a black plastic container meal from a company called MANMEAL with a giant XY as their logo

The Polygon sale was really fucked up and caused a lot of pain for a lot of great people but it is neat to see so many of them go on to make such awesome things kotaku.com/mothership-i...

The opposition is claiming the social media ban is a failure because kids have bypassed it and also they haven't put in enough mental health funding to support kids. If only people could have predicted this when the opposition helped along by News Corp pushed hard for a social media ban.

"Never assume malice…" I'mma stop you right there: At this point in human history, when it comes to corporations in particular, any sufficiently advanced capitalist interest is indistinguishable from malice, so I'm gonna go riight on ahead and assume it.

(And yes I think they did this shit on purpose to make people less likely to turn it off.)

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼 www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

It's interesting that all of international law is based on the idea that countries are countries because of history, and the president is a guy who literally doesn't think history exists or is worth knowing or thinking about "eh, that happened in the past, or they said it happened, but this is now"

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

The creators of these apps make choices. Grok was created with the production of deep-fake abuse imagery as an option and that was a choice. The fact that the app is still producing these images, for free, with no restrictions, for anyone who wants them, is also an ongoing choice by its creators.

Vance's conduct this week is obviously impeachable. I'm talking about his public conduct. Whatever private murder coverup he's participating in is what you find out once you start impeachment.
