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.

If this ceasefire happens - and I hope it does - Western media will talk about 'peace'. This will be inaccurate. What they will mean is 'quiet', a reversion to the background level of violence that Palestinians have faced for decades. Peace can only come with the end of the occupation and apartheid.

Kristi Noem complains that Chicago residents won't let ICE use their toilets. ICE should just use the bathroom that aligns with their biological origin and find a garbage can to piss in.

wizard frog is insane

“The Fort Bragg Cartel” by Seth Harp makes a devastating case that the US military created a safe haven for heroin production in Afghanistan that the CIA exploited in order to fund black ops in places like Syria and the Horn of Africa. Like the 1980s all over again but this time Obama was in charge.

But then there’s this RECKLESS behavior by a Portland cop who sprays pepper spray directly into the air vent of a costume-clad protestor. Absolutely unacceptable. Fire him.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Protesters pleaded "be gentle, she's disabled." One agent sneered: "She'll be disabled now." State violence, cruelty, and silencing dissent. Siebe, who uses a wheelchair, was filming in a bike lane when an agent body-checked her face-first into the pavement. #portland #ice #dhs #news #resist

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

If you’re a working class person trying to understand what’s happening in the west, especially the US right now; red maga and blue maga fascism, and liberal “democracies” all over the west backing israel’s genocide, please don't read 1984 or Animal Farm. Pick up Lenin’s 'The State and Revolution.'

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

A reminder that international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaigns against apartheid South Africa were being called for from the 1950s and 1960s - and cultural boycotts by unions were in place from the mid-60s. It took until the 70s for that to dig in and 80s for the US/UK Govs to join.

Was asked by a boomer last night why I was so cynical. It's only cynicism, I told her, if it's not actually happening. Otherwise it's just paying attention. If the rule you live by is, "I don't want to hear anything but unfounded optimism," it is little wonder the world is in the state it is.

The devaluing and crushing of art and artists has created the perfect environment for dehumanization, corporate control, a culture of self-service and transactional behavior, and has undermined our ability to imagine a better future than our present. It’s hard to overstate how devastating it’s been

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” ― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

eternal gratitude to Cuba for offering sanctuary and a home to some of our most cherished political heroes. Rest in power Assata Shakur.

Hi, can I interest you in some fantasy written by a nonbinary author? With trans and intersex characters? Not based on a franchise by a transphobic author! Dragonfall, Emberclaw, and my rewritten debut, Pantomime, are out now, and I could very much use some help getting the word out about them. 💖

Any "union" that supports and endorses authoritarians, like politicians, are just admitting they're not genuine workers unions. They're closeted merchant guilds made up of class traitors. Worker unions are supposed to destroy authoritarianism in the workplace and oppose anyone who supports that!

"of course ChatGPT is full of errors when it comes to my specific area of professional or technical expertise, that's why I only use it for other stuff, where I can't tell if it's bullshit or not" 📰🗞💥

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

a general strike shut down italy on monday in support of palestine & now this is happening. international worker solidarity still has power!!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

My husband is former USAF. The pilots and any other military personnel on these flights are shaming the service (and I think breaking the law).

There are no methods of anti-colonial struggle that the colonizer finds acceptable. When they chastise us for supporting "violent" liberation struggles, it's not because they would tolerate a "non-violent" struggle, but because a non-violent struggle can be ignored.

Stay safe. Sources and documents in the replies.

They’ve fired a whole lot of pepper balls at us. Multiple people hit, including one struck in the head. They’re charging the crowd and seizing people outside Broadview. The air is barely tolerable from all the fumes.

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

I'm starting to realize that one of the worst things you can do at AAA studios is find something you're interested in & passionate about that they'll let you work on. It initially feels like a huge relief - you're no-longer stuck working on boring bullshit that you don't care about. (1/3) #GameDev

2 Black men LYNCHED IN MISSISSIPPI, & liberals want you to unilaterally disarm yourself, while not offering any solutions nor tangible defense, talking about "political violence has no place in a liberal society." What of self defense? & WHAT THE FUCK U THINK A LYNCHING IS IF NOT POL VIOLENCE!?!?

having to choose between going off of HRT (suicidal-inducing) and potentially getting a felony and going to jail (where you could be assaulted or murdered or destroy your entire future) is not an easy decision & if you "if you really wanted to you would" ppl for that I hate you

Grateful to independent journalists outside of Chicago who are talking about what's happening here. God knows we can't rely on the legacy media to report on or even amplify the truth. Also grateful for our local folks who've been running themselves ragged on the ground. I know people are exhausted.

ok sure maybe not THIS one but still BASICALLY all political violence is coming from the left. for example, i was recently frightened by a homeless man

What centrist libs can't seem to internalize is that the US contains a large, longstanding, well-funded political movement that *wants political violence and authoritarianism*. It does not need to be provoked in any way in order to pursue those goals.

The people who giggle about trans people committing suicide, who laugh at migrants being sent to gulags, and who openly fantasize about murdering their wives want you to know they're very upset that you'd "glorify violence."

Thinking about the phrase "political violence" and the number of people who've died on Rikers Island in just the last month.

Y'all even the fucking literal Weimar liberals weren't mourning Horst Wessel. This is pathetic.

"Don't condone violence, the right wing reaction will become worst." This imagines the fascists rely on facts before responding in a proportional and reasonable manner. The capability for violence cannot be entrusted solely with the state and right wing. Prepare yourselves and defend each other.

Heard a study that Gen Z men listed children as their #1 priority while Gen Z women listed children as 12 out of 13 priorities. Time to invest in mpreg.
