Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

“A society that guarantees employment to only a small fraction of the population, despite having a high level of technical development, risks exposing many to forced inactivity, a lack of responsibility and the absence of daily tasks and stimuli, resulting in human and cultural impoverishment.”

Is this the genius test they administer to the USA président?

Our catalog of Trump's cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes has been updated through April 2026. Trump and his cronies are nearing 1000 atrocities since retaking office. #LestWeForgetTheHorrors buff.ly/sd9maRj

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Who's going to hire them ben, FUCKING JOBMAN?

pope leo is weak on crime lmao. sometimes priests wear a cape type situation but he’s not batman, dude.

Real "Weimar Germany had trillionaires" kind of bullshit.

Mexico—a nation with 1/17th GDP of USA—is rolling out universal healthcare to its 130M citizens. Starting April 13, Mexicans 85+ will have access to universal healthcare. By Jan 2027, Mexico will expand universal healthcare to all people, with full coverage of drugs, lab tests, etc by 2030. 1/2

The NASA announcer pointedly said "the président called to congratulate them" and you know they did that on purpose.

We will not stand for this.

Hey friends can you tell the head of the teacher’s union to maybe care enough about children to not burn down the planet????

This is why the phrase comes up in so many of the things I've written about AI. AI does three main things: 1) dismantle the institutions necessary for democratic society to thrive 2) transfer wealth upwards 3) create the permission structure for (1) and (2)

reading is one of the great pleasures of my life and I deeply and furiously resent the introduction of a low grade but ever present anxiety that I might be fooled into believing that some slop came from a human mind

the problem is that high art ultimately means dealing with discomfort. as an analogy: feymann’s lecture books on physics and computation are accessible — but he expects you to work. to extend yourself in some way

My priest? Judas.

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

The two hovering news items on the horizon are the Epstein Files releases and the economy-crashing collapse of the AI bubble, and the least productive part of my brain keeps trying to imagine ways that the Epstein release could somehow cause the AI bubble collapse

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

based on the epstein emails released today i am Tapping The Sign

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act. The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Sounds based to me. More politicians should follow sex workers. Sex work is work and sexuality is normal. The weird thing is when religious people are conditioned to toxically entangle their faith & shame with regular sexual desires. The weird thing is stigmatizing & criminalizing working people.

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

I don’t even have words for this. One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

hey bluesky remember all these results the next time you want to doom about how civil war 2 is about to start and there's no way to stop it

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

There are more of us than there are of them.

Maine has voted in a landslide to reject a Republican-supported ballot initiative that would have restricted voting access heading into the critical 2026 midterms

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

One of the better photos I've taken of a stubble corridor fading into the distance during high summer as a miscellaneous sky stands guard and collects its thoughts.

"It's becoming increasingly better not to ask, because it's becoming increasingly better not to know. If you know, then you have to do something about it. Thus not knowing has become a virtue among people who would rather not give a shit. Shame dies by atrophy." www.the-reframe.com/the-death-of...

Anyone who has experience in an abusive household, or who has worked with people in them, or has read a lot about them, will be familiar with a particular dynamic: Dad is full of loud passions & intense moods, sweeping through like a thunderstorm, unpredictable, volatile, often violent. He is ...
