I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Israel lobby groups have spread doctored quotes by UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Francesca Albanese to defame her. Their desperate campaign is a testament to her work and the threat she poses by holding Israel accountable for genocide. mondoweiss.net/2026/02/fran... #Palestine #Israel

My love is with the Lakemba community, and with First Peoples and black and brown people being targeted right now. We should not have to beg to be kept safe. We deserve better. I will not stop calling this out until this country treats white supremacist violence with the seriousness it demands.

"It's not artificial intelligence. It's African intelligence." Michael Geoffrey Asia, the secretary general of the Data Labelers Association in Kenya tells @jasonkoebler.bsky.social about the notoriously brutal and underpaid work of training AI. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH65...

The prosecution is brought by Dr Sammak, who reports that 𝟭𝟲𝟮 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 of her family have been killed during Israel’s military assault on 𝙶𝚊𝚣𝚊, including relatives sheltering in the Bureij refugee camp.

Lawyers representing Melbourne academic Tasnim Sammak have 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 a charge sheet before the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria, accusing President Herzog of eight grave offences under Australian law, including genocide and crimes against humanity.

The perpetrators - who look remarkably like members of the black-shirted mob that marched on NSW Parliament last month without any interference 🧐

Ron Baumann, one of the 4000-odd Jewish people living in QLD responded directly to #Crisafulli's tweet:

Ah FFS. What about the actual Australians who have been killed by the military of this leader's nation in Gaza & in Lebanon? Isn't our PM meant to represent them too? How are we united at all, except in grief, that any of this is happening?

And then there’s this shameless garbage from Albanese, repeating the tired line that “people don’t want conflict brought here” while literally inviting the president of the “conflict” here. The utter contempt these people have for Australians is so glaring.

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism

When the racist meme becomes national policy

I am so very tired. Here’s more on the debacle that tanked Adelaide Writers Week, and the staggering racism involved. sakr.substack.com/p/resignatio...

‘Psychoanalysis can help us better understand how the world, including our oppressors, works, and so what we might do about it, and them; and what wishes we might have for collective life, and which of these the reality principle demands we set aside.’ Amia Srinivasan: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda

#sociology job

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior. that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

Happy Publication Day to those who celebrate...README is out in the world via @mitpress.bsky.social mitpress.mit.edu/978026255348... My new book is a book about books about computing...enjoy!

NEW: Over 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth org of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Gießen, Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police violently beat blockaders.

I hope you take a look at the resources that professors Iris van Rooij and Olivia Guest are sharing. They are both Ph.D. in computational and cognitive science (in Artificial Intelligence departments). I think Iris has commented on this thread somewhere olivia.science/ai#letter

There is probably plenty going on inside Bill Gates' head, but I reckon one of the most parsimonious explanations of why he's sagely pronouncing that climate groups need to stop worrying about short-term emissions targets can be found in the sustainability reports of the company he founded.

"tech giant Google has allowed the government of Israel to purchase sponsored content spots so that online users searching on the Global Sumud Flotilla will be shown inaccurate, propagandized content accusing the flotilla participants of being allied with violent, terrorist elements"

Reporter: “Is mainstream media complicit in the genocide in Gaza?” Francesca Albanese: “What is most striking here is that Western media has effectively placed itself at the service of this genocidal enterprise.”

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

the rats nest that is the flow of money in AI compute is so unbelievably complicated and circular that i had to make a diagram

"To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do," says feminist scholar Judith Butler, who faces possible investigation by the Trump administration as part of its crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism.

A group of philosophers consciously deciding yet again to be disappointing. They have such a special combination of polite rightwing spite and obtuseness.
