folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

What has me worried — what we all need to focus on — is that something important in our democracy broke last week, and we are only beginning to see the fallout. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Now we are hearing from Sky and Amanda Roberts. Sky is the younger brother of Virginia Giuffre. He explains that Virginia was only 16 years old who had just finished 10th grade when her sex trafficking by Epstein began. Her abuse began just down the street from this hearing.

There it is: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody, I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon." He doesn't care about anyone's economic pain.

West Virginia Republicans tried to remove all five of their Supreme Court justices in 2018 over alleged corruption (two were convicted of federal crimes). Republicans successfully created three vacancies and flipped the court’s majority

Reporters: For background ,start by reading this article I wrote for @theatlantic.com in 2019 about Trump's psychiatric disorders and his unfitness. Take notes. Then start asking questions about these issues of experts. In other words: DO YOUR JOBS. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hey, mainstream media: Isn't it about time you start talking to mental-health professionals and reporting to the public about the multiple and manifest mental illnesses that have long been exhibited by the president of the United States?

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Even now in his deteriorating condition, trump is defined by his love of being paid attention to. He loves talking on camera more than any president in my memory. Truly, he loves saying things on camera more than any other activity, far more than golf. The addiction is for attention.

Almost time for this important House Oversight field hearing on the Epstein Files with a critical focus on the survivors who continue to demand justice and accountability.

Austrian Eurofighters scrambled twice in two days to intercept USAF PC-12 aircraft that entered Austrian airspace without permission, Die Welt reports.

Holy crap. 70% disapproval.

I feel you eBay, sometimes the guy hollering pickup lines from his car just doesn’t have it

Top Trump econ advisor claims consumer sentiment is at record low "only because Trump is doing such a good job. "He has taken every problem on Earth and gone 100% at fixing it. And I think that that can be stressful for people to see so much change going on."

Whenever I see this guy on TV lying with an idiotic smile on his face, he reminds me of the Mayor of Amity in the movie Jaws. Mayor to news reporter: "But as you can see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are opened, and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means friendship."

People who get Social Security and Medicare from the government are not getting "entitlements"—they are getting the money they gave the government back. Unlike when Elon Musk got at least $38 billion from the government in contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over the past two decades.

I believe I was told quite clearly that inflation like this means the president has to leave office.

Trump’s war in Iran is hitting Americans hard. Prices at the checkout shot up to the highest level since May 2023, now outstripping wage growth. Trump is making everyone poorer.

“.. With headline inflation coming it at +3.8% y/y in April, that means real average hourly earnings growth (adjusted for CPI) slipped into negative territory for the first time since April 2023.” - Schwab

There's a weird technical thing to be aware of. Six months ago we were in the middle of a government shutdown, and shelter inflation couldn't be properly measured. Today's number is "catch up" from it being artificially depressed in October.

A lot of attention has been paid to the collapse of traffic to The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro's YouTube channel. But other ragebait sites are also seeing huge drops in audience. According to The Righting, Outkick, The Federalist and The Blaze are down at least 48%. therighting.com/traffic-repo...

So weird that women are always coming down with a case of the hysteria

Our response to the White House 🤌

“Effed it, lads”

“Under-babied” As if there’s a quota for how many children women are supposed to bear in a country that makes us pay for healthcare, childcare, and provides zero work- life balance for working parents? Yeah - no thanks.

Republican voters just elected an accused pedophile to be their nominee in the race for Ohio state house district 40, with nearly 60% of the vote. Pedophilia scandals don’t matter at all anymore to Republican primary voters, who overwhelmingly elected accused pedo Rodney Creech to be their nominee

BARNYARD SANDALS! 😂😂😂😂

which has been the norm of the vast vast majority of conservative justices as they were having their confirmation hearings. Gourich, Conley-Barret both lied about how they'd vote about "settled case law" regarding Roe v. Wade too.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I understand that such takes are unpopular on bluesky because we require being on all the time, but it really does feel like Trump is starting to get pretty lame ducky

Holy shit, Sen. Bernie Sanders has said more to defend Graham Platner than he has about the sustained attack on the political power of Black Americans. And honestly, this should come as no surprise.
