AI Added 'Basically Zero' to US Economic Growth Last Year, Goldman Sachs Says https://gizmodo.com/ai-added-basically-zero-to-us-economic-growth-last-year-goldman-sachs-says-2000725380

I'm still in awe at how great this shot works.

Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread. First, a direct link for submitting written statements: www.ncpc.gov/participate/...

The tone of contempt here, in a news update, is disgraceful. "How dare Mamdani and his team...uh...wear those clothes and use social media to try to prevent bad things from happening when...um...bad things could still happen in a situation like this!" GTFO.

Myth: Fascism is efficient, the fascists were the only people to get the trains to run on time Reality: Fascism is so inefficient that Mussolini couldn't even get *coffee* and *pasta* for his country, and desperately tried to convince them to eat other things via www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA4I...

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

This will *not* be announced on X

Today we celebrate Alysa Liu, Olympic gold medalist and daughter of a political refugee who came to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity. Refugees strengthen our communities — as neighbors, leaders, and even champions. When we invest in belonging, we all rise.

The agency eliminated 240 hours of “vital classes” from a mandatory 580-hour training program, including instruction about the legal boundaries for the use of force, how to safely handle firearms, and the proper way to detain and arrest immigrants. wapo.st/4aS06mU

We can't wait for 24 more episodes of Reading Rainbow with Mychal the Librarian!! 🌈

Charlie Kirk repeatedly pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory and regularly made racist comments in his public statements. If we can't call someone so explicitly racist "a racist" without getting fired, who else is off limits? Donald Trump? Nick Fuentes? David Duke?

In 2018, an elite group of academics and scientists planned an exclusive retreat. The guests were picked by prominent New York literary agent John Brockman. The problem? Brockman added two women to the list, and his biggest funder — Jeffrey Epstein — wanted them out. @jkutzie.bsky.social reports

Please please please even if you can't call, recirculate these posts so who can make the call see it

"The President Must Be Removed From Office" Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit. zeteo.com/p/time-for-t...

"A Government Tariff Refund Bait and Switch" www.wsj.com/opinion/a-go... This x 10000:

per report, DHS is aiming to complete construction on the camps in november. that’s plenty of time to stop or delay them indefinitely, but we need to be clear-eyed about the timeline here—and why a cautious response from our elected leaders isn’t acceptable.

And beyond even our research, it's important to protect the night sky just for its own sake. I spent most of last summer living in a Bortle 2 area, and the stars were life-changing. Everyone should be afforded that experience, and AI compute shouldn't be allowed to take it away.

The WA Senate Dems' budget proposal includes at least a whopping $310 million in cuts to public education: ❌ $140M cut to transition to kindergarten ❌ $110M cut to Local Effort Assistance (meaning an immediate budget cut to school district operations) ❌ $60M cut to budget depreciation calculations

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

the thing about the immigration number is that it doesn’t just prove that shitheads like matty were wrong in the micro a year ago, it proves *their entire theory of politics and persuasion is wrong*

turns out almost nobody other than total freaks likes or wants this shit

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

To be clear, in this metaphor the Republicans are the Nazis.

The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

The Find Any Voter Fraud By A Democrat Challenge

“If passed, the SAVE Act will disenfranchise 20 million voters.” Trump has pushed the Republicans to hold a vote in the House this week. Call your Rep and your Senators. 202-224-3121

Impeach and remove Clarence Thomas for corruption. Impeach and remove John Roberts for letting it happen on his watch.

For Texas @crockett.house.gov

fuck yes

As I’ve said before, it looks like a Pontiac Aztek fucked a Delorean.

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

🇺🇸 trifectas get <one> shot at doing something Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem The platform must be <immediate> institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said

Now THAT's a headline. "The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents" fortune.com/2026/02/21/l...

Good and useful tech doesn't have to force itself onto you. Good and useful tech doesn't have to beg to be used.

This is why they killed Malcolm X and MLK and took away passports from Robeson and W.E.B. DuBois— all developed increasingly global perspective on how oppression is global and connected so resistance should be as well. Also, some people lack curiousity or affinity for humankind beyond household..

So I kind of figured it’d be amazing to watch but man this really is different. She’s so relaxed. She’s visibly having so much fun. She’s not fighting for a medal here. She’s just playing her favorite game

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

I ain’t hit no pithy jokes no more. We gotta start actively knocking these fools out And we have to learn that the reason they hate sex education and 230 and cultural studies and gender studies Is because they don’t want their victims to have options to avoid or report them

RIP Ruben Martinez.

Every Claude Code and ChatGPT subscription has Anthropic or OpenAI spending anywhere from $5 to $13 to make $1 when it comes to these coding products. To not include this is journalistic malpractice and to act as if this will go away is too. Disgraceful. bsky.app/profile/edzi...

recently watched an episode of Star Trek TNG with the Duras sisters, so I'm reposting this thing I drew in 2022

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...
