This is Bluesky taking a Johnny Cash quote out of context to make it look like the author was issuing a threat. By that argument, the sitcom Just Shoot Me is more violent than SAW

Trump ended deportation protections for South Sudanese immigrants, prioritized asylum for white South Africans, and threatened to invade Nigeria. It’s all part of the Christian nationalist playbook.

How Christian Nationalism Is Shaping Trump’s Foreign Policy Toward Africa
Whether ending deportation protections, prioritizing asylum, or all-out threatening invasion, Trump is following the Christian nationalist playbook.

We need to refer to it as raping underage girls, rather than pedophilia. The latter suggests a sexual attraction to ONLY little girls, and we know that Trump also rapes full-grown women.

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

The romanticization of the Louvre heist baffles me. A bunch of thieves stole jewelry that belonged to the collective people so some billionaire could give it to his mistress. It's a symbol of how billionaires are parasites, not some cheeky populist move.

Oh my God stop this. Trump has one goal always: getting shiny things he wants. The shiny thing he currently wants is a Nobel Peace Prize, and he thinks Bibi mouthing off could keep him from getting that. He will forget about it in a month.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?
John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

If only more Americans in the $250k-$1m salary range understood they're on the chopping block too. The extreme job & tax cuts they voted for are designed to destroy not just the poor and middle class. Billionaire technobros want greater wealth consolidation and fewer humans in the way.
