The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States. Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

If you don't want ICE to know you were at a protest, taking a burner phone is not going to help you stay anonymous if you go home afterwards. www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use. So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/

I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

To give you some context about how bad this is, Zhipu made $27 million in revenue in the first 6 months of this year and had a net loss of $334 million. This means that Zhipu has less than a year before it runs out of money entirely www.wheresyoured.at/the-enshitti...

Garcia uses his opening statement during Comer's Minnesota fraud hearing to point out that "some of the worst fraud and corruption is actually found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" and that the administration is punishing innocent kids

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

#OTD in 1939, French physicist Marguerite Perey discovered the element francium. She was the the first woman to be elected to the French Académie des Sciences (1962). In 1911, the Académie turned down Perey's mentor, Marie Curie, for membership. #WomenInSTEM

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

Here's a story about detection of cetacean morbillivirus, in the same genus as measles virus, in whales' blowhole breath. I'm contemplating what we can learn by exploring transmission between animals. HT Julian Tang bbc.com/news/article...

Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.

#NollaignamBan The first woman admitted to the all-male Royal Astronomical Society, Agnes Mary Clerke's analyses were so reliable, thoughtful & wide reaching that she became a revered authority. The Clerke lunar crater was named to commemorate her. www.dib.ie/biography/cl... #DIBLives

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I keep going back to Star Trek lately. Not for the future. For a place where adults are in charge. Where choices matter. Where harm has consequences. Beam me up. Shields up. Warp 10. Make it so. 🖖🏾

When you've been on social media for much of your life but are only just now reading Pratchett

I keep seeing comments like this, but it is so much worse than this. You are not an embarrassment to the world. You are the single greatest threat the world has ever known. That threat dwarfs every world-conquering power in history put together. You are our enemy. We need to treat you as such.

Deep thoughts…

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is. It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace. It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

how the fuck can any journalist remain on this fucking website.

OSINT: The Government of Cuba has announced that 32 Cubans were killed in the recent military operation by the United States to capture Venezuelan President President Nicolás Maduro, most of which were likely part of the security team protecting Maduro. 2 days of mourning have been declared in Cuba.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

The eigenslur is indeed real, tho the correlation could be higher

the most infuriating thing that the press won’t address is that Elon Musk (a real person) is paying engineers (real people) to *deliberately* code software (a constructed work product) in a way that results in reckless, unaccountable outputs like this immature little men who think it’s all a joke

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Also that person who had ripped off multiple hacker artists on Etsy and then under penalty of perjury told Etsy they own the copyright in my original art and designs is back at it again. Same listing. It’s so incredibly frustrating.

The more you know. We are all chimeras at a very small level. You likely have cells in your body from your mother and your siblings that were born before you. How this chimerism influences your immune system is beginning to be unraveled. #Science #ScienceSunday

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

Finished CUREPEDIA by @simonprice.bsky.social & I have to talk about how *amazing* this book is. I read it from start to end - A Forest to Zoology - which is absolutely not as designed, but reading cover to cover it forms the most incredible, sprawling, comprehensive, mind-bending band history ever.

Officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 say their struggles linger, 5 years after the riot

I think Mamdani really hit a nerve with the reactionaries this time. Absolute crack pipe take to say that the sacraments of the Church are individualistic. Not a single one of the sacraments is individualistic. Hell is full of individuals though.

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Uh-oh

Now that Stranger Things has ended, can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing love letter to synthesizers that Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein composed for the show? Their setup included synths like the Prophet-6, Prophet-5, Univox Mini-Korg, Oberheim SEM, Roland SH-2, ARP 2600, and a lot more!
