They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy). The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

Remember KOSA now called the KIDS act? The House just advanced it. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Who cares about a bad space show written by a sex pest when you could watch the anime that he ripped off to make it? Outlaw Star is 1000% pure uncut aura starring a chaotic bisexual and his crew of hot, murderous women youtu.be/q3gI-E_vqVA?...

the safety of journalists, activists, transgender people, gay people, immigrants, women's rights, just about everyone's rights and everyone all depend on online anonymity and stopping bills like KOSA and all age verification and online ID laws for good.

The Economist model estimates the peak was nearly 4,000 excess deaths in the US per day in late December 2020, and nearly as high for much of January 2021. I don't think ANY of the GBD crowd has admitted to having been horribly wrong about the pandemic.

This is a semi-annual reminder that Daylight Savings was a colonialist project by white settlers trying to control the weather. Science has long shown the health benefits of permanent Standard Time. Lawmakers who want permanent DST also tend to support KOSA, ending Section 230. It's about control.

i need a distraction so i've subjected myself to F1 and mentally judging everyone. Not a lot of driving so far.

lol there's this corporate brand trend of using employee baby pictures and being like "This is who does [this job]" or whatever on instagram and i was such a debbie downer about it at my day job, like WE ARE NOT DOING THIS BC THEY WILL FEED YOUR BABY PICTURE INTO THE AI MACHINE

NEW – Pace of global warming has nearly doubled since 2015, study says ✍️ @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org Read here ⬇️

Silicon Valley runs on erasure of consent. Consent is friction. Inefficient and not binary. It does not compute. It’s tech’s kryptonite.

All of this stuff is fundamentally about the erasure of consent. At the core of these products is the assertion that your very existence is a tacit agreement to feed the machine.

Don't fucking let KOSA pass, contact your fucking reps!!!!

i've seen this kind of headline a few times and just want to note that it's...not correct. SCOTUS declined to hear an odd case that insisted that an AI had *created* a work of art. it wanted the copyright to go *to the AI.*

the copyright office's approach right now is to reject wholly AI-generated work with no or little human input, but to permit AI-assisted works. the exact line where it crosses from AI-assisted to AI-generated is fuzzy SCOTUS deciding not to hear this particular case doesn't really change much

you mean the same guy who made jokes about killing Palestinians on SNL?

The mass exodus at the Toronto Film Critics Association is gathering pace after indigenous actress and filmmaker Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers returned her award trophy following the alleged censorship of her video acceptance speech, which included remarks in support of Palestine.

Called my reps about KOSA again. It passed committee and is going to the house for a vote, farthest it's gotten since 2024. Please do the same to kill this thing again.

500 years of north american settler colonialism and 76-100 years of israeli settler colonialism all gets reduced to one guy among many other child traffickers and rapists… o_o

Significant acceleration of global warming since 2015, finds news PIK study with @rahmstorf.bsky.social Recent warming: around ~0.35°C per decade. 1970–2015 average: just under 0.2°C per dec. ➡️Current rate is higher than in any decade since records began in 1880. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

given that Dems have done FUCK ALL over the years to lockdown shit to prevent all this, & *all* dems are capitalist, it is wild ppl think Harris or any other single dem as pres can change the trajectory of any of this. The whole system is rotted bc it stemmed from rot.

this is literally not true. the rot existed before him. All the horrible P2025 shit will pass but by a new "palatible" fascist that middle class white people approve of. ESPECIALLY since natDems are fully condoning this stuff as they have done NOTHING in the past 10 yrs to secure against it.
