This article is a useful counterpoint: the digital divide in the future will be between those with access to fact-checked solid information and those who can only access AI slop. When it comes to healthcare that divide may be particularly stark. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States. It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

Don’t forget what is also true: ordinary Americans are often almost indescribably brave, whatever our coward elites and institutions decide to do

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns. The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.

The largest number of perpetrators of sexual violence in the UK are white men. Any attempt to place blame squarely on racialised groups is not only racist, but it also obscures the systemic problem of men’s violence against women (within homes, which is the most dangerous place for women).

Inside every psychologist is a sociologist struggling to get out.

Today has truly been a banner day on this here site

Literally last week every MAGA idiot around was insisting, loudly, how terrible it was that the Biden admin pressured YouTube to remove COVID misinfo, even as YouTube said it ignored the pressure. Those same folks will either be silent or cheer this on:

Why are so many of our politicians eulogising a white nationalist shithead who devoted his pathetic life to promoting the very intolerance and toxicity they're bemoaning, and constantly excused the gun violence that, poetically, killed him?

Things you will learn from this video: 1. Scotland hates Trump 2. Some new, colorful language. 3. Insults sound better with a Scottish accent. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

NEW: After DOGE outed Mohammad Halimi on social media, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison. They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts

More and more of those Banksy-style posters of the Sandwich Guy are popping up in DC. Just had these (and dozens of other photos) shared with me.

We figured out a way to put old school racism in new fangled computers--what a time to be alive.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

India’s prime minister tried his best to be friends with Donald Trump. But the US president’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods has upended more than a decade of careful diplomacy, and handed a victory to China.

Every 8 minutes. That's how often a US Uber passenger reports a driver for sexual assault or misconduct. But rather than solve the problem, Uber is just telling passengers to request a woman driver and hope that one is available. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/b...

📌💡Great essay 👇 "Putting a lie in a headline without calling it a lie elevates the lie to the level of truth. It is proper and fitting to protest such elevation. It is completely improper for those of us who will not be harmed by the lie to entertain it in the name of open-mindedness."
