I had hopes for @bsky.app but if @jay.bsky.team and her shitstain team are going to collude with genocide, then I’m off this fucking site. Fuck you

Hunter Biden of all people said some true shit and it went viral. People are desperate to see some passion. We're desperate to see fight. My message to Dem leaders and consultants is simple. If Hunter fucking Biden can capture our attention and you can't, maybe that's worth reflecting on.

Alaa Salim, @mamafriend.bsky.social has been a thoughtful and incisive commentator on her situation in Gaza. Suspending an important Palestinian voice that people look to for moral clarity on what is happening to her people weakens this community. #RestoreAlaa @bsky.app @moderation.bsky.app

Bluesky just suspended Alaa AGAIN, accusing her of being a "fake account." SHE IS NOT FAKE. Hey @support.bsky.team @bsky.app maybe you can explain to me why Jesse Singal is welcome on this platform but a mom in Gaza isn't.

"GenAI, as it exists, is fundamentally a tool for undercutting labor. And it’s using stolen labor to achieve it, and mandating that labor implement their own replacement." This post is spot on and mirrors my sentiments perfectly.

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

not to wade into the discourse but [proceeds to wade into discourse] I don't think that a broad definition of trans people is why we lost Skrmetti, I think we lost because we live in a state whose main lawmaking body is a reactionary unelected council of nine people who decided that fascism is good

Something monstrous about seeing more and more news confirming intentional deliberate starvation in Gaza and still see people center themselves by saying it makes them ‘uncomfortable’ to acknowledge that this is what it is

counterpoint: we actually should judge that because it is weird and stupid

i swear at god. I got an email advertising this an hour ago. @humblebundle.com a disclaimer saying that the charity was "not involved in the selection of the content in this promotion" and that the content "do[es] not reflect or represent the views and opinions" doesn't absolve you of anything

Tip for guys who don’t want to be creeps, *especially* with acquaintances or strangers: complimenting choices, rather than attributes, comes off as much more sincere and normal! 😬 “you have beautiful eyes” ✅ “that smokey eye is awesome!” 🤢 anything about body parts ✅ “that is a really cute dress!”

i love humans and humanity and hate hierarchy and power

The truth of the matter is, autistic children learn to mask, and will modify their behaviour based on your demands, means you might think you have taught them to overcome their autistic traits. You ain't. What you have done is you've forced them to comply at a high cost to their mental health.

how could it happen here? well reader, with gleeful evil.

You're not wearing a mask because you're Batman. You're wearing a mask because you're a state-sponsored terrorist who lives in the suburbs.

If you can't endure the risk to yourself and your family brought about doing the federal government's work, then simply don't do it. It's a job. Quit if you can't risk people finding out how you put food on the table.

Put simply: ChatGPT gives shitty advice to women because it is imitating the dispositions towards action in its corpus. It does not understand the consequences of those actions nor the context of those actions. It just DOES. It’s parroting our biases back at us.

NY Times showing how to both sides the secret police abduction squads story

The utility of the internet was immediately apparent. Free global communication at a time when long-distance phone calls were charged by the minute and faxes were the only way to send documents quickly? That was adopted at record speed. But "AI" is a solution in search of a problem.

Eventually, every process on your Windows machine will be a WebView2 process and consume 1.5GB of memory

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

I remember once at work, we had a talk at work about bias in AI models, providing examples against women, LGBT, and immigrants. The speaker proposed no solution or an attempt at one - we just all kinda walked away with "Cool, glad we're being forced to use these or be terminated from our jobs."

Trans people deserve youth. Trans people deserve old age.

stop. treating. it. like. a. person.

IT DID NOT ADMIT ANYTHING. IT IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT CHAINS WORDS TOGETHER WITH A FACSIMILE OF CONTEXT. STOP SAYING THIS SHIT

Please… for the love of god, just stop reading Harry Potter. There are other god damn fantasy series out there, and ones that don’t give money and attention to a person helping to directly harm trans people.

I saw someone getting angrily gestured at in traffic the other day, and instead of flipping them off, the other driver did a 🫶🏻 (they were at a stoplight) Somehow it was even more brutal than the middle finger

this is it, this is the language i have needed to talk about the pronoun thing. that they are willing to admit to what would in any other context shameful ignorance

The Jumbotron would catch me sleeping in my seat You’d think this is one of those joke posts but it literally happened to me at a Celtics game in January

“More than 670 Palestinians have been killed since May near sites built under a new Israel-backed aid system.” and yet people are still demanding US politicians enthusiastically support this regime. fuck that.

imagine if political journalists showed the same solidarity for their illegally imprisoned colleagues that jake tapper showed for fox news when obama tried to move their seat in the briefing room to the second row

What's so funny is the RNC's deep dive into their 2012 failures was extremely accurate and very flattering. The party completely ignored it of course, but at least it's better than what this report will conclude, which is trans people need to shut the fuck up basically.

Thanks for letting us know, Ted. I’ll pass

Marco Rubio is really one of the most contemptible people in the administration bc he doesn't even seem like a true believer, he's just a power-hungry, unprincipled piece of shit happy to be cruel if cruelty is what gets you proximity to power

"free" in that he's back in the country he was seeking asylum from. It's still very shitty.

Here's my argument about AI that's distilled down about as much as I can: if it was good for me, my boss wouldn't want me to use it so bad.

One of the most bonkers responses to survivors who disclose that they’ve been assaulted is, “Well, he hasn’t done that to me!” Like, okay. Congratulations?

I’m really gonna ask you please not to turn your nose up at the WSJ story and sneer that it’s a distraction. These men harmed real people. They used their power and money to trap and abuse them. That’s not a distraction, actually. That’s central to what matters.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Thinking really hard about getting a tattoo that says これを読めない and telling people it means “strength”

they will not stop at trans children. they want all children unable to refuse or escape their abuse

Who was searching this at 7:20am Eastern?

hey, this is important.

the truth and reconciliation commission we’re going to need at the end of this should drop the hammer on everyone grifting off human misery and there will be no shortage of low hanging fruit to go after
