It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

As of today, it's the deadline of Thursday. Please call your Reps to demand KOSA does not get through AT ALL! For KOSA is a bill that will harm Trans communities; our individual safeties and many more. Don't delay, make calls. All from outside the US, share FAR AND WIDE! #TransRights #StopKOSA

KOSA is just the beginning They won’t stop until everything is sanitized Disney Plus slop. youtube.com/shorts/nFnH5...

As ever, but particularly today, from one union worker to hopefully others soon...

Say, did YouTube go down for everyone about half an hour ago, or is it just me?

So true.

Here's how I feel about the imaginary character who resides in a book...

What in the absolute fuck is this.

Today is Sex Worker's Rights Day. Sex worker rights are human rights not just because we're humans just like you, but also any rights taken from us will be taken from you too. Surveillance, police violence, debanking, censorship, we faced all of those for years before it turned on everyone else.

Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again

Please, PLEASE, be loud about this topic, Android being open is what makes it useful, you own your phone and you should be able to install apps from wherever you wish to, don't let Google tell you what's allowed on the device you payed for! keepandroidopen.org

"Psychology says people who constantly apologize for things that aren't their fault aren't being polite. They grew up in an environment where someone else's bad mood was always their responsibility to fix." share.google/LxDa6ftaoJmN...

in the 90s i remember reading an essay called Assassination Politics by a libertarian who proposed the elimination of all govt with a 'prediction market' making crypto bets on the "untimely deaths" of politicians and thinking "that shit's crazy, and it would never fly in the real world" and WELP

Been dealing with a lot of offline emergencies in addition to it being the anniversary of my father’s death. Spring cleaning today so I can unload some assets. Ended up unearthing this and felt like it could help anyone going through it lately.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

"Videogames cause gun violence" was the excuse used to distract from the facts the Columbine shooters were neonazis, and here we are pulling the old Jack Thompson special again, because of course...

Democrats in four states seek to bar ICE employees from future civil service jobs Bills aim to make ICE employees ineligible for jobs in law enforcement, public education and state civil service www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

That’s literally already the law, but I guess manufacturing outrage is easier than governing.

It's the quote that makes it.

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

Join me in calling on Congress to abolish ICE by adding your name to this petition today. We're so close to reaching 50,000 signatures.

Don’t deprioritize curiosity-driven research www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The most damning thing about Maya's take to me is that 20th century authors like George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Sinclair Lewis, and Upton Sinclair are as relevant today as when they were the contemporary writers. As Nietzsche said, time is a flat circle.

Love some outdated pop fiction www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXq5...

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

As if every AI/robot story in fiction wasn't already a thinly veiled metaphor for civil rights... for this exact thing.

The way AI is so confidently wrong is so antithetical to the practice of law. So much of the time the actual answer to a client’s question is “well, it depends…” and that’s why lawyers exist.

Ultimately, the Left won't embrace AI because rather than salesmen and financiers, the left is composed of professionals, lawyers and educators who read the way AI misrepresents our expertise and conclude all its answers are equally fraught with error. When you don't know anything, AI feels smart.

Spending my entire life watching the Right screeching at the top of their lungs to kill technologies that make our lives meaningfully better (hybrid cars and EVs, light bulbs, stoves, solar and wind, etc) and then seeing WheN wILl tHe LeFt sTOp HaTiNg tEcHnOloGy AnD eMbRaCe AI
