Every so often a new story pops up and everyone remembers that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer who foments violence on his Nazi website. Then everyone forgets again.

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

If the "smoothgroins" thing weren't off-putting enough, I feel like I'm being gaslit by the premise of this article. Establishment-types seem to have embraced Platner pretty happily, and the most optimistic thing I've heard from the marginalized DSA-types I hang around is "hope I'm wrong about him."

Woo, football

STOP LETTING REPUBLICANS FRAME THE ARGUMENT. JEEZUS.

I have this theory that founder-types want AI lawyers for the same reason they want AI girlfriends, which is that they’re tired of being told “no”

Hi we're not nervous, we hate it and would like it to fall into an open manhole, hope that helps

every country is going to lead on ai. every country is going to have the biggest data centres. every country is going to build small modular reactors to power them. every country is gearing up to compete on quantum computing. i’m so tired of all this bullshit.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Just got released after 72 hours in bsky jail for I guess using a bad word to describe the Adam Hoffman thing. That was fun.

Aaron Swartz was facing prison for something the LLM companies are investing trillions in (downloading other people's data) and educational instutions like MIT absolutely cannot wait to throw money at them while simultaneously reducing services and staff amid budget crises. grody

Wow, rare that Google tells you its AI overview is wrong before you even get to the links.

autocorrect needs to stop trying to change "youtube" to "YouTube" like it deserves that. please understand i do not respect her in any way

Okay, night four of this, just

won’t repost it but the neo nazi behind Reduxx, a site beloved & constantly retweeted by JK Rowling, posted one of the most evil skin crawling things I’ve ever read re: the murder of juniper blessing. That is what Harry Potter symbolizes now & I will judge & shame the shit out of you if you rep it.

The only thing I dislike more about these people than their snarling bigotry is the way they demand everyone else treat them as nice liberals

I have done an unfortunate amount of reading on the latest social media drama and reached the inexorable conclusion that I should not have done that

As someone on the spectrum: Fuck Palantir. Take your fashy bullshit and go home. All we want is to exist in the world. This probably going fuck over others on spectrum anyways.

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

This is enshittification just for love of the game, they're not even saving money by doing this. In fact it's WAY more expensive than what they're already doing.

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs

Guy says that the party doesn't stand for anything beyond "Republicans are worse" and a bunch of people respond by going "have you considered Republicans are worse" like that makes him wrong Cool

"when a city refuses to fix itself" is hilarious framing too. everything a NYT homunculus might suggest, we tried. infinity money for cops, drug use criminalization, encampment sweeps, etc. and it only made things worse! because that's what always happens! because the neolibs are OBJECTIVELY WRONG!!

There really is a simple solution to migration. And its to be fucking normal about it and stop being a nationalist racist

We have to proceed from the premise that no Republican claim to power anywhere at any level is legitimate in any way. Every bill, every law, every proclamation, every ruling, all of it is fouled, none of it should be held binding on either moral sensibilities or legal standing, all must be reversed.

God, I am already so sick of having Red Stephen Harper in charge of the country.

You know, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I think corporate lobbyists might've had something to do with this

You pieces of dogshit conceded ground on public school funding for decades which put our kids behind and now you want to line your pockets with AI cash? Now you can find the money for the kids? You worthless asshole.

FFS- over- focus on stem to the point of eliminating courses that required evaluation of information is how we got i to this fucking mess. Why dont we require a course on validating sources, and distinguishing misinformation and disinformation from fact like most European nations?

Just a reminder that Carney is cutting funding to the CBC by $192 million next year (despite campaign promises to *increase* funding) and its actively undermining efforts to combat misinformation.

It's a corporate slush fund that uses public money and will be paid for by selling off public assets. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Given the massive private info leak that just happened in Alberta, maybe the Canadian government(s) should really stop and consider how badly they want to implement these bullshit "age verification" laws here. Never mind the breaches that have already happened regarding THAT private info...

Just nicknamed a Quaquaval Baby Got Back and realized I don't think I've ever actually heard that full song before? I should fix that.

👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏 Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

A+ headline, CBC

If you're using this post to argue that Democrats should abandon trans rights, please fuck off into the sun. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Ketchup and mayonnaise are F-tier condiments

Yknow with everything going on I forgot that RFK Jr pitched labor camps for depressed people

feel like we have a lot of years of evidence that to Israel, "ceasefire" just means "you stop shooting back at us", and it'd be nice if reporting reflected ever learning this

I wouldn't be against including a "why generative AI is dogshit" module in a general tech literacy type of class, but I doubt that's what's happening here.

A lot has been written about how generative AI may lead people to believe that fake things are real. But more attention should be paid to how it can lead people to believe that real things are fake. Meet the "liar's dividend": www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

This President is truly a sick, diseased human being Give us minerals or we murder your citizens This is Hilter-Stalin levels of genocidal policy, continuing the mass murder he started cutting off USAID support but now with pure imperialism quid-pro-quo attached www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

Even without that follow-up, "I support the same things as Donald Trump says he does but thought he was lying about it" is a hell of an admission from somebody trying to persuade Democrats of anything
