I’m watching Gavin Newsom on TV and he’s out here saying we need to embrace AI and billionaires, and even he seems to understand that people are not responding well to it. Very *defensive* interview. It’s odd, he’s usually a smooth slick guy, he just feels oddly awkward and uncomfortable

all biden had to do was put his ass in prison

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

I couldn't resist

A consequence? In my United States? It’s more possible than you think!

Abrego Garcia should apply for compensation from the weaponization fund

When I say I will never vote for Gavin Newsom. When I say I’d take another Republican congress over Democrats that abandon trans people. This is why. When your largest left of center party goes the way of Labour in the UK, you’ve lost all hope. I will never do it.

Nothing is inevitable

NEW: it appears that the Wall Street Journal got suckered by a company that claimed to be debuting the first AI-generated feature film at the Cannes Film Festival. Why? Because we asked Cannes and they said they are absolutely not screening it futurism.com/artificial-i...

What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck.

This looks quite serious. I've seen it reported by a couple of real sources, linked in the thread below (and on Google maps). If you're in or near Garden Grove in LA, please read/watch this and be alert.

Yesterday, charges were dismissed for myself and five others protesting ICE. Yes, it was a win. But it’s not justice. And it’s not over yet.

The whole point is that a bourgeois state which is exercising the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie through a democratic republic cannot confess to the people that it is serving the bourgeoisie; it cannot tell the truth, and has to play the hypocrite.

Workers who do not wish to be fooled should subject every group to the closest scrutiny and ascertain how serious its principles are, and what roots it has in the masses. Put no faith in words; subject everything to the closest scrutiny—such is the motto of the Marxist workers.

Trans people deserve youth. Trans people deserve old age.

People got really angry at me when I wrote this on Mastodon a few years ago, but it's true: post-consumer plastic recycling is functionally a myth, not just in the U.S. but globally. Odds are vanishingly close to zero that your plastic, faithfully put in the recycling bin, will ever be recycled.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

Pentesting looks so cool and then you get to do it and you discover the most powerful tool in your hacking toolbox is asking a few engineers at some manufacturer about where the known security problems are that management won't invest in getting fixed because they don't give a shit.

i often think about this review

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

I will always treasure the comment I got on a video where I said how hard it is to grow your own food using my personal experience as a fun example. They said something like "You're just bad at it" and my response was "YES! I am! And I'm smarter, richer, and have more free time than you" (all true)

Hello I am once again begging people to understand that this isn't nihilism, it's an increasingly organized belief system that's embraced racial superiority and fantasies of righteous violence. They don't believe in nothing - they believe in hate.

This bill, literally called the “CHARLIE Act,” imports definitions from Trump's odious EOs on race (EO 14190) and sex (EO 14168) into the federal statute for K-12 funding. It's not savvy centrist politics, it will not get them more votes. They know; they're bad people who like these parts of MAGA.

This story is nuts - it's got hacking, IRL surveillance of white supremacists, internet radicalization, public embarrassment for nazis, and so so so much more. www.hyperfixedpod.com/listen/hyper...

Unlike the writer of this piece, I am borderline AI-abolitionist, though I am told there are some worthwhile use cases for AI. Also, some folks are struggling to stop using it. So in the interests of harm reduction, start small. Read this, and boycott ChatGPT. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

These individuals have put in the work to rebuild their lives and move beyond their past offenses by volunteering, building careers, and mentoring others. They have worked hard to deserve a second chance, and I am proud to recognize that hard work with a pardon. www.channel3000.com/news/evers-g...

I am heartbroken that Muhlenberg announced this week "the non-renewal of 13 faculty positions, as well as the elimination of 9 currently filled staff positions.” We are losing incredible faculty and staff with no clear justification for the criteria used. Students are rightly demanding transparency.

not to call anyone out specifically: many cises responding they didn't know and imo that speaks to how most ppl have done no work interrogating the transphobia they've spent their lives absorbing. would you say that i am a whitewoman or a jewishwoman? i bet you wouldn't, even by accident!

Put differently, government officials spent an hour trying to kill a man but after their plan for killing him didn't work out, they decided to kill him later.

Katy deleted sermons from the internet to hide her extremist beliefs but didn't get them all. Here's one where she gives medical advice to people in her ministry school. She tells her students to "fight" against seeking professional medical help for people with mental health illnesses.

🚨 The Senate just left DC for recess without passing Trump’s spending bill. Republicans thought they could rush over $70 billion more in funding to Trump’s secret police this week, but thanks to you (and general GOP incompetence), we’ve delayed this dangerous bill. Let’s discuss what’s next. 🧵
