Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

Funny how all these “screens cause cognitive decline in schools” are only ever about the children maybe using a Chromebook. Not about the teachers using copilot l, or having to do everything online, or entering data into a massive panopticon.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across. If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers. If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

Wrote about Seedance 2.0 and why "slop" is a description of how gen AI content is made, not just how it looks

I was ready to move on but then I came across this video and just had to share it because it was spot on. Thank you Sara Wiles.

“Men are hardwired to—“ no they’re not.

Unexpected Tragedy at the Autonomous Gun Factory

Yep! I'm typically an early adopter and really enjoy tech, odds are good I'd be really into "AI" tools if they weren't being pushed by the most reprehensible shitheads on the planet who's opening move was to steal my art and mock me for caring about it before moving on to killing a bunch of kids

Here's one of the first announcements of the rescue I saw. It seems the reason you announce this is for maximal embarrassment.

Indeed

@aoc.bsky.social wtf please do not amplify this grifter!!! Broken clock maybe but he's the worst of the worst for health conspiracies. Someone on her team please talk sense into whoever tweeted this.

Basically, the right-wing wants you to think that being racist is the most dangerous (and cool) thing you can do right now. Films like The People's Joker and Nirvanna The Band The Movie prove the most dangerous thing for algorithmic streaming platforms is actually copyright infringement.

The Atlantic is garbage, exhibit 7,653,698.

so lemme get this straight tomorrow being 2/17/26: mardi gras start of ramadan chinese new year and a solar eclipse? i ain't leaving the house

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.

Learning that Platner covered his Nazi tattoo with some “norse-celtic” bullshit is not convincing me that he was ever getting any tattoos “accidentally”

If Graham "Fenrir & Celtic Knot covering up of a Totenkopf, Blackwater mercenary" Platner experienced not being tipped by Black folks, guess what? He was a fucking asshole to Black people.

I know that the fact that self-proclaimed Christians are explicitly rejecting the teachings of Christ is hardly new, but the scale of this one is just staggering to me. I have never wanted to believe in hell so much as I do right now.

Armando Ianucci stares in disbelief.

I think everyone is taking Bondi's "but the DOW is over $50k" comment the wrong way. It isn't a distraction it's a threat. She had just pointed out the man questioning her was involved in day trading, that he's benefiting from people on the list being in power. Out them and YOUR market collapses.

NUDE ELON MUSK: The invisible clothes I'm wearing are a product of xAthleisure, which will roll out self-dressing outfits within two years at the latest THE CREDULOUS PRESS: Fully Clothed Tesla Innovator Does It Again

So…what’s the number below which we can arrest pedophiles?

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

So now we're here. AI is the new way for them to capitalize on all of the investments they've made in infrastructure. They are selling picks and shovels for the gold rush. So they have to create the gold rush. That's literally always what they're doing. bsky.app/profile/polo...

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

if your uncle jack was having trouble getting off a horse would you help your uncle masturbate the horse to completion. wait, sorry. let me start over. so say your uncle is jacking off a horse

My pt is yes we can pick out fake news videos today. We can trust our experience today. We’re going to rely on companies to be trustworthy even when lies are cheaper? Where will trustworthy news come from? Freelancers we know? Through what channel? How will they eat and travel? With whose money?

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Historic run - every institution snapped like a cheap ski pole.

activity time! 🌽🐮👩‍🌾

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

They *literally* sound like an evangelical grifter.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

this is so funny because it's like, oh my god, what an awful question for a news show. and then wham the answer is so much worse somehow

Rip out your Ring doorbell RN, jfc

As much as I agree that it’s obviously very important right now to put pressure on the admin to release the full Epstein files and prosecute all of the predators involved This org is anti-sex work, pro-Nordic model, and classifies consensual sex work as exploitation.

My theory that AI maximalists don’t know how to use a computer remains undefeated so far

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.

Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan (1981) Episode 6

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Starting to think these weren’t really applied with the consideration required by law

The hell we are. I’m not.
