I also recommend if possible to find whatever humor you can. Make fun of these people. Lampooning them doesn’t discount the seriousness of their actions or the destruction of their works - it undermines their power and status and names, and lightens the soul www.wheresyoured.at/make-fun-of-...

I think we need people to start listening to new experts that said this many years ago

"The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranian [children and civilians] who think they're going to live"

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites. Yes. A MILLION. This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything: www.scientificamerican.com/article/ramp... 🔭 🧪

nudist version as promised

ICE isn’t arresting the “worst of the worst.” By their own numbers, most have no criminal history whatsoever. Tearing people away from their families and lawyers doesn’t make us safer — especially when we don't know who's being detained or why. Massachusetts deserves answers.

"Why do you have to make being gay your entire personality" is always said by someone who's made being straight their entire personality

Let’s look on the bright side, at least the subhed acknowledges the theory of evolution

Idunno about y'all, but I'm doing my best to make Republicans cry whenever I can. Don't care if we just met or I've had the misfortune of knowing them all my life, I'm using every sick truth I know about them to make them cry. If the truth hurts it's on them to change.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas. I had to reply.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

Again, Murc's Law is not a constitutional provision. Yes, Schumer & Jeffries are feckless relics of a bygone era. Yell at Democrats. But a major reason the Republicans in Congress aren't doing anything is that they face ~no public shaming & ~zero questions every day about why they're doing nothing.

Here's the thing: I would tax 900 billionaires to hell and back for literally no personal benefit. We could set that money on fire for all I care.

THE HORRIFIC BOOK BANNING BILL IN WYOMING WAS KILLED. IT'S DEAD!!!!!! If your knee-jerk right now is "yeah but so many other ones," cool. *Not right here or right now.* Celebrating advocacy and hard work matters. www.jhnewsandguide.com/news/state/w...

Mind you these workers are specifically Kenyan workers who are made to view and annotate the absolute worst things created by man and machine for extremely low pay and absolutely no support or care from Meta for the trauma they endure every day at work

As our friends at the Transgender Education Network of Texas remind us, OPINIONS from Paxton are NOT law. This is the same tactic he deploys to create intimidation, pre-compliance and chaos around abortion care. Come get informed at TENT’s virtual town hall on March 12, 7 PM 🏳️‍⚧️ bit.ly/TENTAGUpdate

Punching them while they are down. 168 school girls between 7 and 12 years of age. To be precise.

They’re going to name a whole wing after this guy at War Crimes Prison. A proper psycho, this one.

My thoughts about this are probably too complicated and tangled for a character limit, but there's one specific thread I want to tug: I am really concerned about what this means for DH staff, from both employment and labor angles.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

How am I supposed to rest when I'm too tired to rest????

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

seems bad

Since the person who told me to look at Human Rights Watch for data blocked me after I quoted HRW to them, here's HRW's summary. bsky.app/profile/chri...

I know so many people whose lives would begin to stabilise if they got a $3k cheque.

New BARBAROUS yesterday! New BARBAROUS tomorrow! ✨

american military leadership is acting in ways previously only seen in the first act of a kaiju film

Statements from both candidates.

Swing, pendulum, swing

Somehow, in despite 10 years of increasingly deranged behavior from Trump and co, they find creative new ways to surprise me with their depravity.

In the next month or so I intend to do The Hater’s Guide To Adobe

You gotta watch who you hang out with. They may lead you astray.

Happy Maintenance

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th of its original size. n.pr/4u5X1Z9

"AI is a part of everyday life" because companies keeps trying to force it to happen, not because its a good, organic or practical product. I know thats not a catchy headline but its more truthful.

The grandson of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups creator has launched a campaign against The Hershey Company, which owns the Reese's brand. He wants them to stop skimping on ingredients. n.pr/3N2lYUx

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed. Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

If genAI pushers even have cardboard left to live in by the time we’re done with them, we won’t have gone hard enough.

Creatives are a vital part of our community and yet we regularly get overlooked and treated like our jobs are unimportant. Meanwhile every little thing around us had to pass through the hands of a creative at some point. Nothing would exist without us. The world would go dark without art.

President Trump promised his "Make America Great Again" voters an "America First" foreign policy. With the war in Iran, he's testing MAGA world's willingness to be flexible on one of its core beliefs. n.pr/4uaFY8o

New stupid scam alert. Scammers are now reaching out trying to get photos of your face to deep fake videos and con your friends and followers out of $$$ through counterfeit accounts. Fucking ridiculous.

these laws are a political project by which the state attempts to assume the power to decide sex and gender, power it does not have—and power it will express “incorrectly” because that’s power, too

I super wish I had not been right about this but...

Betchu Republicans try to lower the age of consent to 14 before too long.

My favourite sleep technique is trying to make sense of the colours behind my eyelids when I close my eyes. It's basically a free ticket to dreaming.
