"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

ah, if only there was a extremely skilled international system backed by US funding that could address this

Unreliable narrator stories are fun until you live through a global-economy tanking war between two sets of relentless liars both trying to influence a stock market full of investors who don't actually care what's true.

One of our favourite articles this year was by Senator @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social. She wrote about her Oma, how "Canada has its fair share of cracks," and how we can overcome and let the light in to guide our way ahead. #Ableg #ForeverCanadian #UnitedForCanada albertaviews.ca/the-case-for...

Trump's polling collapse is more significant than people think. As Trump bleeds non-MAGA Rs and alienates groups he made inroads with in 2024, GOP lawmakers are now genuinely fearing voters that lie outside the MAGA rump. That's something new. Some thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

The California Amber Alert system - which sends automatic messages - now directs people to a suspicious-looking bitly link that then sends them to X/Twitter. Some other states also rely on X/Twitter in these emergency alert links. If your state does, contact authorities and complain today.

This is today in Texas 35th congressional district. Republicans trying to prop up someone who can’t win.

Welcome to my TED Talk, another episode in the long-running series called “we keep telling you this, but apparently we have to keep telling you this.” Russia is not "just only" exporting propaganda. It is and has been building a worldwide influence ecosystem.

Americans see how timidly and how little Republicans in Congress push back against Trump’s manias and corruption. We will remember. www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch & share this news story. It’s pretty much perfect. Ford claims wrongly that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/1...

Ultimately this is the most important story in British politics and much of the world - the Iran war is putting pressure on real wages, which people will blame on the incumbent government.

Lying is bad unless you do it via AI. False advertising is bad unless you do it via AI. Plagiarism is bad unless you do it via AI. Losing billions of dollars for no good reason is bad unless you do it via AI. Robbing cities of water is bad unless you do it via AI. You’re just embracing the future.

Observing our rapid decline into kleptocracy is not the way to honor people who served in the military. But for those of us who didn’t choose this president, refusing to stick our heads in the sand & ignore what’s happening is the most important observance. joycevance.substack.com/p/from-pardo...

A stunning New York Times report on Monday exposed just how often — and what — President Donald Trump's cabinet has said to praise him throughout his presidency.

I'm concerned people think I'm joking about this.

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Every philosophy that leans too heavily on ‘appeal to nature’ claims ends up at infanticide. Here it happens to be indirect, but it needn’t always be. There’s no way around it because infanticide is a perfectly natural behavior, documented in all sorts of animals

California is prepping the Port of Long Beach to assemble one or two offshore wind turbines per week, each as tall as the Eiffel Tower and capable of producing 20 to 25 megawatts of power: www.latimes.com/environment/... via @hayleysmith.bsky.social

(1/X) I wanted to say one more thing about dealing with narcissistic sociopaths. People generally do what narcissistic sociopaths want them to do because they think it's the smart move (Tessio was always smarter). To put it simply, they're more afraid of crossing the narcissistic sociopath...

If you ever wonder why academics roll their eyes at "viewpoint diversity" hires is that when you pick a scholar for their ideology and politics over the actual work, this is the kind of clown show that results.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

so if i want to make a mesh network with no node privileged and some nodes changing IP at will (eg, some of them are cell phones), but i want each node to be able to unambiguously identify itself and make itself available for connection, is there some scheme for this better than tor hidden services

Sigh.

Not for nothing but we absolutely have a mechanism for this and it is "tax the everloving shit out of these losers and force them to return their ill-gotten wealth to the people on whose labour their entire product is built"

You didn’t “inherit” 43 of my scripts, Anthropic, you stole them.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Researchers gave three commercial AI models an exercise typically used to train human military strategists. Each system played the leader of a nuclear-armed country in a standoff. Across 21 simulations, the models chose to use nuclear weapons in all but one game. Read more from Hiranya Peiris.

I unsubscribed from the @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social list for this one. Just absolutely fucking ludicrous, and I say that after YEARS of being broadly supportive.

“We are many — the working class. They are few — the billionaires.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE prison, a protester says billionaires divide people by scapegoating immigrants, trans people, and foreign governments — while the real enemy is the billionaire class. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social ⬇️

This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government is going to court to try to prevent the release of documents about its ill-fated blue licence plates, a move that comes amid a broader clampdown on public access to government records. Another boondoggle to hide. www.thetrillium.ca/news/politic...
