So many women have been talking, writing and warning people of the dangerous ideologies and biases of tech in Silicon Valley, for decades, and it’s so infuriating that so many men (not OP here) just flat out ignore it and act surprised at the technofascists infecting it now

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

“We are living through fascism and the primary way we connect with and inform and organize w/ each other is under lethal attack. No one is coming to protect the internet for us, and people won’t even have a clue how catastrophic this can become until it’s over” @kattenbarge.bsky.social

We had an amazing launch of our new headquarters in Amsterdam. Thank you to everyone who made it a fantastic afternoon and it was a beautiful sunny day! Such great luck. Sebastian’s photos did a great job capturing the atmosphere and enthusiasm.

Uh question does @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social have a security detail or can we crowdfund one (please)

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

Nothing about us without us. We're at today's House Oversight Committee hearing about DC to make it clear DC communities don't want Congress's interference in our judges, prosecutions, sentencing, or police. They can't talk about our communities without expecting to hear from our communities.

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Before streaming or YouTube—there was cartoonnetwork․com, 📺 home to Flash games, clips of Ed, Edd n Eddy & Powerpuff Girls, + Cartoon Orbit battles. The site’s gone, but the Wayback Machine lets you time-travel back ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19981001... #Wayback1T

The internet was never a perfect place, but at least a lot of these media companies gave a darn about kids and gave them safe, fun spaces to be fully entertained online. Alas, this generation will never have that experience. Maybe those that had these places will bring them back for the next one.

Laugh at Trump’s ridiculous innumeracy, sure. But the commander of the world’s most powerful military is responding to relevant questions about the laws of armed conflict by claiming that the existence of drug deaths in general permits him to kill anyone he feels like, which is very serious.

Elon Musk has shared an obviously AI-generated image of the Unite the Kingdom rally in London. The first AI error is that the Arc de Triomphe is in Paris, not London. And once you zoom in, you'll notice that the Union Jacks and the crowd have other errors typical of AI images.

Note that this headline (and the whole article, afaict) is true AND his killing was unjustified and wrong. Both things can be true. The people saying only the latter are playing into fascistic double-standards.

Trump just went on Fox and said radical right extremism is justified as a response to the left. If Trump wanted to explicitly encourage the right to wage violent open warfare on the left as payback for Kirk, he couldn't have done much better than that. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2004...

Why is the media afraid to say it out loud?

The army warns the people of Gaza that they will completely evacuate Gaza City within a week. We have been exhausted by the war, displacement and homelessness for two years. We urgently need €500 to cover the costs of displacement and the tent. Help my family by link in bio bit.ly/4ndJyKr

In June, @Google quietly signed a $45M ad contract w/ Israel to spread propaganda denying Israel's genocide & starvation of Palestinians in Gaza Along w/ cloud & AI, Google’s ad machine—the world's biggest—is now in Israel's genocide supply chain Statement by Google workers w #NoTechForApartheid🧵

I’m joining hundreds of other #Google workers fasting today in solidarity with people in Gaza who are being forcibly starved. Mutual aid is part of this weekly campaign. Here is one way you can help today. Follow Molly’s incredible work to continue to find ways to help Palestinians directly.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

Political violence is never justified. This is a tragedy alongside all other instances of gun violence in this country.

In addition to being extremely weird, the spectacle of tech executives kissing the ring at the White House last night showed that the only principle left in Silicon Valley is power www.wired.com/story/tech-c...

it’s fascinating. majorities of americans oppose the military occupation of cities. a substantial number of those are fucking furious about it, but rather than lean into this anger and attack trump’s perception of strength, these “strategists” want democrats to avoid the confrontation entirely.

last december i wrote that democrats needed to behave like an actual opposition www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/o...

The Justice Department's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will "redact every Republican" from an Epstein client list and "leave all the liberal, Democratic people."

House Republicans Want To Doxx Wikipedia Editors Over Bogus ‘Bias’ Complaints Congress has absolutely zero constitutional authority to investigate a private website for its editorial decisions. Zero. None. This is First Amendment 101. Yet House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and…

Wrote about Comer/Mace attempting to doxx and intimidate Wikipedia editors in an effort to force their own viewpoint onto Wikipedia.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

I learned about the Hittites in grade school, so the world didn’t completely forget

Asking whether AIs can suffer is an actual kind of political distraction from the very real suffering that living beings are experiencing now, with no tradeoff, that is very unpopular, which requires a sustained kind of attention and understanding to stop

"Regardless of whatever a particular technology can supposedly do, capital is always compelled to use it for ultimately the same purposes, reshaping the production process and the consciousness of those caught within it."

"States can pass legislation that funds public media in their states. There can be coalitions among different states to build different kinds of public media that have reach beyond the state level and local level," says @krforde.bsky.social. newrepublic.substack.com/p/pro-democr...

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said." It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon. This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.

Congrats to the nominal opposition for being to the right of *Bill Kristol* on Trump assualting DC

I've been thinking a lot about how I really hate the implication that AI skeptics are luddites because most of the AI skeptics I know are relatively tech savvy while the biggest AI champions I know can barely use email

This is fucking appalling. It’s collective punishment, it’s incitement to genocide, and the US needs to stop funding it. I stand with the millions of Gazans under siege and the hundreds of thousands of Israelis protesting against the manmade horrors plaguing Gaza.

This is not the slightest bit surprising and it began prior to Trump coming back to power. As the idiot AG of Missouri was pursuing Missouri v Biden, Stephen Miller’s America First Legal sued me and my colleagues with the same forum-shopped judge and plaintiffs. Wake up: it’s a machine.
