…I think everybody needs to continue not to let this administration scapegoat restaurants, no matter how the media tries to frame it. Why is every report about fucking Taco Bell and not DOGE? I mean, I know why, but I see folks on here falling for this shit.

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism.

“You just couldn’t hold it, could you?” the Oscar-winning filmmaker said as he kicked his victim off the toilet seat and delivered a violent swing that shattered the porcelain stool.

Started replaying Tears of the Kingdom today. Good news: it still fucks me right up. My emotions 😭

The packaging for both looks like the photos below. They're sold everywhere, including in our little mountain town. And for infants and elders, or those who are immunocompromised/immunosuppressed or with certain other conditions, cyclosporiasis can indeed kill.

You should tell your kid's schools to STOP if you find out they're pulling this kind of crap.

Joe Rogan is exhibit A for my increasing conviction that a warped ideal of “critical thinking” has been the most destructive cultural phenomenon of the past three decades.

I don't fully understand what's going on with the parasite-in-produce situation, but I've decided to risk it all and eat my body weight in fresh cherries anyway. I just can't let this seasonal pleasure be taken from me. I think it's just in mass processed lettuce? But I honestly don't know.

After exhausting the histrom catalogues of Julie Ann Long, Lisa Kleypas, and Tessa Dare, I tried out Megan Frampton (A Wicked Bargain for the Duke, recommended by @bandherbooks.bsky.social and @melonreads.bsky.social) and holy hell she does not disappoint. 🔥😍🔥 www.goodreads.com/book/show/54...

I will have an ironic laugh if the latest US temper tantrum is what forces the Canadian government to meaningfully pivot back to climate crisis mitigation and reduction policies and practices. I wonder if there's a way for the Canadian people to basically sue the Alberta govt for damages.

People keep saying they don't know what to do. Do this.

Yup. The public needs to get organized & local People's Assemblies in each state are a way to begin. Start collecting testimonies of ICE's impact in your state. Invite all who attend to get behind a campaign to fire everyone in ICE during the first week of any potential Dem presidency. Begin now.

I know there have always been fuckboys, but good lord ALIVE, Wickham.

microsoft is in full damage control mode following last week's layoffs. its main strategy so far? namedrop sequels to popular series at every turn. but despite what execs like asha sharma might want you to think, those series were made by people, and now they'll never be the same

do not use ChatGPT as a search engine. it is not a search engine.

Does anyone have a feijoada recipe they recommend? Bonus points if it is adapted for a slow cooker

Republicans in Congress are threatening Canada's sovereignty over climate change fueled wildfires. Here's how much money they've taken from the fossil fuel industry recently. James: $308k+ Bergman: $175k+ McClain: $105k+ Moolenaar: $133k+ - oh and he's a climate denier. Completely shameless.

Wednesday's voice is all muted and creaky because of the smoke 😭

Juan Soto (and Mr. Met!) starred in a new Spider-Man commercial 👀 The world may no longer know the man behind the mask, but Soto and New York still have love for Spidey 🕸️

There are arguments that the kind of resistance that defeated glassholes is no longer possible, or that “normal” looking glasses change the equation, but branding surveillance glasses as the domain of losers, weirdos, and perverts can still be effective.

i truly think @bennjordan.bsky.social's response to police about langley's outrageous comments had to have had an effect. i know cities were dropping their flock contracts because of langley's "terrorist" diatribes

DOGE axed the CDC team that tracks cyclospora. Now 1000s are sick, restaurants & hospitals scrambling. What's next? “Cyclospora is just one piece. It's making the news right now, but there are other, more dangerous pathogens.” By @emilymullin.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

I saw someone post "I used claude to do this summary and analysis. I haven't read it, but I made it for you, person who may want a summary and analysis of this thing. You'll have to validate it yourself if you care about things like truth and facts and reality." And I just- Why? Why make?

RSVP to community engagement events at organize.nyc.gov/fastbuses to help bring rapid bus transit to 175 bus routes in New York City.

New York City should have the best buses in the world. That’s our goal. But the first step is incredibly important: hearing from New Yorkers in the neighborhoods where these big infrastructure changes will be made.

Full story on @autonomynews.co Yes, that is Anthony Comstock on my shirt via our merch store: www.bonfire.com/all-comstock...

This should be a MUCH bigger story: Trump’s AG pick opened the door to a nationwide abortion ban. Ted Cruz got Todd Blanche to commit to reviewing DOJ guidance on the Comstock Act, an 1873 law conservatives want to weaponize against abortion pills—and possibly all clinic supplies @autonomynews.co

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

"We exist in a world where... any coherent pro-social moral stance is instantly compromised upon contact with this society... Eschewing AI is one thing that we can actually do to live out ethics that affirm values of human and environmental rights."

Surveillance cameras used to stalk people or harass people not suspected of a crime are not being “abused.” They are being used exactly as intended.

He admit it.

This is awful for everyone. Also, mark my words: it’s going to lead to a speeding-up of degree times (and likely degradation of the quality of programs) at many institutions as they continue to admit non-US applicants and tacitly “promise” them that they can complete the program.

Police in many cases are using Flock ALPR cameras to search not for cars, but for people. “Unfortunately, this ability to search cameras as though doing a search engine inquiry is increasingly common for surveillance cameras,” EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @404media.co.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Lmao Kyle Gordan. He does a lot of satirical skits and makes a lot of songs like this. youtube.com/shorts/wKnW4...

Funny Graceland sendup but what makes this A+ is its spoof of broader trends: 80s boomer-pop's Scramble for Africa (Simon, Byrne et al) AND the Magical Negro theme that ran thru such period pieces as U2's Rattle & Hum, Billy Joel's "River of Dreams," &—of course, supremely—TOTO I bless the rains...

You can also see them hardening these sites and pretending it’s job creation to have a bunch of people standing around doing security because the only answers they ever have are criminalize everything and hire more cops

…So yeah. A little worried that some version of these "far left terrorism" labels the right are wheeling out will stick & be taken up by "centrists" flailing around for a "reasonable middle" they can defend, when the Actual reasonable middle is "stop letting corporations build data centers this way"

The tendency of "centrists"/"moderates" to equate or even overvalue property damage to Actual violence is still way too high, & in this era of poor & middle class people showing their displeasure in the streets, in city council chambers, & in construction sites at night, that equation carries weight
