one of the biggest technological revolutions in history and it has nothing to do with crypto, AI, metaverse or any of the things the media relentlessly hypes

Another immigrant has died in ICE custody. 16 deaths just in 2026. It doesn't matter if it is Noem or Mullin at the helm of DHS, ICE detention is INHUMANE, INAPPROPRIATE, INADEQUATE. It is unsafe, and we must end it. Let’s pass my Melt ICE Act now!

Too many people practically worship a writer who continues to compare this era of reproductive control to the fictional Handmaid's Tale, rather than to the very real US history of forced reproduction under chattel slavery and forced eugenic sterilization. It's just social media bait at this point

Happy Tax Day. Just a reminder, as you potentially owe Uncle Sam: Mass incarceration costs the U.S. $445 billion every single year.

Scattered severe storms capable of producing very large hail and tornadoes will develop this afternoon across a large portion of the central and eastern U.S.

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

Despicable fucking government.

Americans are tired of their dollars being used in forever wars, while padding the pockets of warmongers. In fact, 60% of Americans want the U.S. to stop arming Israel, yet only 65 representatives have signed on to the Block the Bombs Act.

Okay bluesky I need your help I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home" Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

The Tennessee legislature has now passed the trans registry bill requiring all medical information about trans people, including therapy notes, diagnoses, and prescriptions be reported to the state so it can be published to the public. apnews.com/article/tenn...

The New York Times Editorial Board yet again demands that Democrats run exactly the campaign they ran in 2024

ANOTHER significant multi-day severe weather event is expected to begin Friday, bringing threats of strong tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds from the Plains to the Great Lakes.

Real wild to see NPR do a serious article version of a twitter thread of mine from five years ago (part of which i reposted here). (Seriously tho, i talk about this with every group of Philosophy in SFF students I get.)

And here's our Feb story, which draws on 10+ individual cases we identified in which ChatGPT or another bot reinforced a user's delusional fixations on another person, leading to domestic abuse, harassment, and stalking: futurism.com/artificial-i...

This is such a disturbing example of how technology can distort and amplify abusive behavior. It reminds me of how victims are often labeled hysterical and have their body language analyzed by pseudo-experts. Now these tactics are being replicated by a biased chatbot people pretend is an authority

ICE Nazi tears, fresh and delicious, get 'em heah!

Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.

for whatever reason people have really latched onto "chopped" and "unc" and it's driving me nuts. none of you are unc. you're not an adult named desmond looking for the brown liquor and dominoes at the cookout, okay? you're just OLD.

people just don't like to be reminded that much of what makes up the internet is funny black teenagers, and that a lot of the language they use comes directly from them (it's giving, that part, clocked it, the tea, etc etc)

I wrote about how Hungary's election creates breathing room for the LGBTQ community but not liberation. The next few years will require substantial work to undo the harms of 16 years of Orbán's systematic targeting of the LGBTQ community. www.thedissident.news/what-hungary...

The severe weather and damaging wind potential moves east on Saturday... No end in sight for this severe weather sequence...

Every billionaire is a policy failure.

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

While people at home are dreading the next energy bill landing in their inbox, fossil fuel bosses are filling their coffers We need a permanent, tightened windfall tax to claw back every penny of excess profit being made on this crisis and put it towards supporting households

My last full time job had a robot scanning every article and would flag things like including quotes from a press release (sent directly to me by request) as plagiarism, with the humans I worked for shrugging when I’d explain this and going “yeah what can you do, two more strikes and you’re fired”

Today, EFF sent complaints to the attorneys general of California and New York urging them to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices over Google's broken promises to users targeted by the government 🧵(1/4) www.eff.org/press/relea...

economics is religion not science and economists are priests entrusted with repeating the gospel to true believers, a belief system completely divorced from real people's lives

And on top of everything Israel is bombing near one of the most important seed repositories in the world, which is in Lebanon. Many of these are unique and irreplaceable. Israel is an existential threat to you too. Most people just don’t know it (yet). www.instagram.com/p/DXCDCg-iB7u/

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

again, whatever works, but it's wild to have the pope try to take the moral stand on colonialism

Journalists know that losing the Wayback Machine would be a nightmare: www.wired.com/story/the-in...

That's where Community Spring's Just Income program comes into play. The Florida-based org gives formerly incarcerated folks $800 per month for a year — with no strings attached. As a result, participants saw lower recidivism rates and improved probation compliance:

Once again I think you are stupid and do not respect you if you are falling for this dope. You are a Tulsi Gabbard person to me

Together, we are telling a new story of our city. New York belongs to all who live in it, not just a privileged few. And if we succeed here, surely it can be done elsewhere.

Across the U.S., 113 million adults have an immediate family member who has ever been to prison or jail. Mass incarceration has far-reaching consequences that don't stop at the prison gates.

Night wanderers 🌙✨️

Letting churches run hospitals has always been a mistake. This just further hammers that fact home.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

“Aadam Jacobs has secretly recorded over 10,000 local concerts since 1989. Now, they are cleaned up and ready to listen to for free online.” blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/10/f...

It's BS you need to love yourself first. Even if you hate yourself now, love them fully and fearlessly🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 I want a world where someday you'll love yourself and live proud, just as you are

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

Unfun Fact: The new, right wing owners of Philz over at Freeman Spogli also own Popeyes, El Pollo Loco, Savers and Petco, plus a ton of other smaller brands, just in case ppl want to avoid them, too

rest in piss, bozo

“And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.“
