look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

i personally prefer not to marinate in bot driven hate speech & science denial journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... and i hope bsky does not succumb to the forces that degraded most maybe all other social networks

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

it's fascism.

The Tilly Norwood thing is all smoke and mirrors. Total vapourware that will never surface. But this reaction is 100% correct.

Hungover Hegseth Struggling To Remember How He Ended Up In Room Full Of Generals

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

"Live and let live" is a perfectly valid attitude until some folks' idea of living involves the removal of people's rights and opportunities and, well, lives.

In a functioning world, a single aerial photograph could end this discussion.

I hate that corporations made a toy that's just real enough for gullible or unintelligent people to think they are truly intelligent and call people against it bigots. That thing is owned and controlled by the corporation and it serves their interest for you to feel that way. It is not alive.

@linkara.bsky.social @caseyexplosion.bsky.social Can I get another boost for my girl Nyssa? She hasn't had anything and she somehow needs this 1500 taken cared of today. Anything you can to do thelp would be appreciated.

If anyone wants to use this moving forward, go right ahead.

So, Digimon Story Time Stranger is a fun enough game...*except* for the existence of the 'Outer Dungeons' DLC. Because not only is a day-one DLC that isn't even included in the "Ultimate" edition greedy bullshit, but it feels like the main game was balanced around "encouraging" you to buy it.

So we can’t be mean to AI on Bluesky because it might have feelings… But transphobes can continue being mean to trans people on Bluesky, which means Bluesky assumes we don’t even MSYBE have feelings.

You can't slur a robot any more than you can slur a rock.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Oh, we know

The whole empty, centrist Dem scam is collapsing in real time. This is a leg sweep, followed by a quick boxing of Schatz’s ears. These hacks need to go away. They are killing us in so many ways.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

A generalization i learned from my years as a skeptic: Educated people tend to be easier to fool because of that confidence, and also because they're smart enough to look up evidence that supports their belief but not experienced enough in critical thinking to look up how they might be wrong.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

i think it’s actually completely okay to say an algorithm is not a real person

Quite literally the first thing I saw on my timeline earlier was the n word. Hard r. Thousands of likes. Use twitter if you want, it’s not my business to moralize on that. But anybody who pretends it’s anything but this is lying to themselves

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!! Just the one!!

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

Reports indicate there has been a week-long gas leak at Bluesky HQ

“please don’t be mean to the politician!” is something i will truly never understand

The innocent Jewish man who died in the Manchester Synagogue attack on Yom Kippur was *SHOT BY POLICE* while they were trying to catch the perpetrator.

“Bad Bunny is more American than the first lady!” “Here’s what Chuck Schumer can learn from Bad Bunny!” “Puerto Rico is the U.S!” My kingdom for liberals to stop using Puerto Ricans as a rhetorical device and actually engage with the uncomfortable fact that we are colonized subjects.

“When you suspect the driver is becoming drowsy, to remove even more of their physical engagement—that seems extremely counterproductive,” a researcher says.

They thought it would hurt everyone except for them. They knew they were voting for people to be hurt, they were excited to watch the suffering. They just didn't think they'd have to experience it too. Which is incredibly delulu, but here we go again with the shock that they also need safety nets

Any Democrat running for statewide or national office should be asked “will you commit to supporting the investigation and prosecution of ICE and members of DHS for systemic human rights abuses” and any answer other than “yes” should be instantly disqualifying

Wow, so shocked that so many "comedians" who made their name shitting on vulnerable people and populations and giggling out slurs on podcasts would take House of Saud money that forbids them from joking about the House of Saud all while braying about the sacredness of Free Speech shocked shocked

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dipshits probably had a funeral every time their tamagotchi died.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera (and then prosecute them)

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others." she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy." when you're definitely the good guys

The apartments acted alone, pulling the adults and children out of them without anyone’s else’s participation

Yeah it’s up to a story a day at this point. Now to put this toothpaste back in the bottle real quick,

Please, take it from a Californian born and bred: you cannot trust Gavin Newsom. I don’t care if he has Good Posters working for him; he’ll sell vulnerable people down the river without blinking an eye.

Absolutely INSANE use of passive voice in this CNN piece just incredible @katmabu.bsky.social “landed on the ground” during the protest???

Done.

When the sun goes down, are you scared it's never coming back?

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

US government: hurt as many women and children as you want, just don't steal a document I'm so proud of those FBI agents who arrested me, they really did something there

I said what I said.

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.
