Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Antonio Rocha, a storyteller and mime originally from Brazil, performed his show, The Malaga Ship, at UMF. So memorable and brilliant. Rocha inhabited the ship constructed in Maine and used as a slaver that traveled to Brazil.

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

"A plastic surgeon from Mount Sinai closed a young woman’s head wound with 35 stitches on Jeffrey Epstein’s dining room table... "Mr. Epstein rewarded his preferred doctors with hefty payments, Apple Watches, introductions to celebrities and vacations on his private island & his New Mexico ranch.."

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

I dont think irans nuclear program is located in elementary schools for young girls but apparently thats what we’re bombing

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

My sister is reporting very loud bangs in Doha, Qatar. Everybody has been told to stay at home. Iran has hit US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Iraq, and perhaps Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Now that the regime is fighting for survival rather than for rhetorical purposes, the gloves may be off.

🇮🇷❗️ Iranian media claimed that a girls’ elementary school in Iran’s Hormozgan province was struck by U.S.–Israeli airstrikes. At least 36 students are reported killed, with children and teachers still believed to be under the rubble as rescue operations continue.

Yup! I mask to let my immunocompromised students know that it is safe to interact with me and that I respect their experiences. Having to worry less about catching something nasty in class is just a plus.

But AI is useful in some cases, they said. Can we just fucking stop and test things properly before shoving the "confidence of a cis white man" machine out the door? #fuckai

Authorities said the 17-year-old was last seen Feb. 5 and could be in the Sacramento area or the Bay Area.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

I know a couple of people who have caught COVID and it has changed them significantly. And the overall cognitive dissonance on masking and taking precautions makes me feel as if I've lost my mind most days.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money. In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it. Taxation without representation.

They want to disappear Trans people. We cannot let this happen.

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

You can't sue the government if postal workers accidentally drop the glassware you ordered or lose a letter from your pen pal The Supreme Court ruled yesterday that this means you also can't sue if postal workers refuse to deliver your mail because you're Black ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/posta...

“To enter into a partnership with…fungi, a tree must be very open…because the fungal threads grow into its soft root hairs…The fungus not only penetrates and envelops the tree's roots, but also allows its web to roam through the surrounding forest floor….And so a network is created” Peter Wohlleben

We need NYC-based authors/writers to use their skills to share the importance of public libraries in the 21st century. If this is you, write things and post them to all of your networks. Also sign a letter to the City Council: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

@mreid.bsky.social Can I invite you to submit here, and/or let others know about this opportunity? Thanks! moritherapy.wixsite.com/murielsjourn...

"Live Free or Die", New Hampshire? I guess you picked one. Osborne's look + the fanaticist gleam in his eyes = my image of an ax murderer.

We CAN do this in Portland. If you, friends, or family work in the Old Port or live in town, you know what a bane & blight these behemoths are. There is virtually no oversight and little understanding of the pollution they create in our harbors. #MEpolitics Follow @portcruisecontrol.bsky.social:

Oh I’m sorry, are the emails where Botstein downplays Epstein’s crimes to him—or the ones where Epstein uses his friendship with Botstein to recruit a victim—not enough?

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

🚨From Gaza🚨 My brother is disabled & my mother is terminally ill, I appeal to you Our lives are disastrous, we are displaced, we live on dirty sand. We crave food We are begging you & need your support to buy a tent cover, food & treatment, which costs 180€ Urgent Help chuffed.org/project/1580...

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

The Times Union editorial board: “For the good of Bard College, Mr. Botstein should step aside. If he won't, the Board of Trustees should tell him it's time to go.”

My message: Mayor Mamdani, Please keep your promise and allocate 0.5% of the city budget to public libraries. Libraries are an engine of community and democracy. They provide important services all over the city to everyone. Plus they're just great places to hang out. Fund libraries!

The website for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is completely scrubbed and gone! They didn't even leave a legacy statement.

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does. Rest in power, Jesse Jackson 🙏🏽

Someone tell Hillary that this is her husband’s legacy too
