There is an antifa meeting tonight down behind the library. This is the safest place for a meeting because Maple MAGAts rarely read any books & probably don't even know where the library is located.

You can’t afford a coal mine. You can’t afford a gas turbine. You can’t afford an oil rig. Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can. But you can afford a solar power station on your roof. Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

i am not a violent dog

Here's an example

I am an anti-facist, just like every other average democracy-loving American patriot. I am AntiFa Just like you.

Every time someone sends me a frog clip in the wild, I smile 😊.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY. If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people. Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Right now, our amazing service members with the California National Guard are helping power expanded food bank operations across the state. California refuses to let the Trump government shutdown's halt to federal food assistance abandon Californians in need.

how do we stop this evil?

Watch this. Open your eyes to this brutality. ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man. Now share this. Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back. You have power. Even sharing this video exerts that power.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2bK... NC Republicans struck this from the record. Don't let them lie to you!

“The president demolished the White House.” “The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.” “The president is why life is more expensive today.” “The president was besties with Epstein.” Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

Remember we're still in a pandemic, so wear your masks on Saturday #nokings

This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

Il giorno di Colombo

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

is anyone surprised?

Are you a federal worker concerned about the government shutdown? https://bit.ly/3Kw2GVY

wrote about Comey, arguably the first capitulator in advance. trying to palliate trump led to the destruction of basically everything he was trying to preserve. it feels like we should learn from that. www.publicnotice.co/p/comey-indi...

Californians! Harass the ever loving fuck out of that governor of yours. Make sure that bastard signs every one of these bills!

Modern IT infrastructure is built upon exploiting autistic people's dopamine pumps.

Fun fact 1: Trans people are about twice as likely to have served in the military than people who aren't trans. Fun fact 2: Trans people are about 80% LESS likely to have committed a mass shooting than people who aren't trans. Fun fact 3: A trans woman invented modern microchip architecture.

I am convinced that if the so-called "liberal" media had reported on every single crazy/racist/cruel thing he had said with the same exuberance they used to report every time that Biden blinked too slowly, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Are they… are they gone yet???

Fascists don't fear being argued against, because they are rarely arguing in good faith. Fascists fear being laughed at, because it shatters their illusory strength.

If anyone ever tells you "trans and cis are words made up in the 2010s", tell them that they've been used for about 150 years in medicine, 200ish years in organic chemistry, and more than 2000 years in geography. Julius Caesar used trans and cis to describe passing the Alps in De Bello Gallico.

realization: in general i am okay with text because i have time to think and edit a sentence before i hit enter, and i am okay with talking to people in person because then i can at least TRY to scan for nonverbal cues, but a voice call to me is the worst of all worlds.

a nice thing about being an adult is that you can just decide breakfast on saturday happens at 2pm and nobody can stop you.

GOP blames everyone & everything other than the guns! From egregious free speech violations against comedians & news reporters to scapegoating LGBTQ+ community, GOP avoids putting blame where it belongs on the guns that make us all unsafe! Political violence is BAD! The MAJORITY of it is right wing!

Praeterea credo Epstein documenta divulgari debere.

But apparently Fox is….

are we going to start seeing these at Starbucks?

LLMs that are trained on text will always tend to lean progressive because progressives write more, and deeper, than conservatives. A LLM trained only on conservative writing will have a smaller corpus and thus work less well. This isn't a value judgment; it's statistics.

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.
