THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

would love more movement on the data center issue in DC. we alongside Maryland are in Pepco's (energy distributor's) service area and as far as I can tell we are effectively collectively subsidizing data center buildout

At this point, I don't think sanctions are cutting it; I honestly think massive fines, malpractice lawsuits, and temporary removal from practice might be the only things that can make a dent in "AI" being used in legal or medical settings. www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

TLDR: Racial justice is elusive; racism is exhausting and deadly, but the children will always be ours – all around the world.

yet, the number of businesses and orgs that are integrating genai for "security and privacy" reasons is staggering

😹

lmaaoo no way there's just not enough time for this racism bc of all the other racism

The incisive and canny novel asks big questions about borders and ethics, via the parallel perspectives of two lovers

Cities are not sure what their Flock contracts state how to extricate themselves from those contracts, or whether the cameras are recording. Covering them with trash bags is the idea the city ultimately came up with. www.404media.co/cities-are-c...

OPINION: (RNS) — What if your investment portfolio had to answer to a board of religious scholars?

Really sucks how so many headlines now are just eugenics Mad Libs.

From Rebecca Flores, Juanita Valdez-Cox and Jim Harrington: "After the stunning revelations about César Chávez, we must help others understand the movement and continue to back it. The movement is about people and what people do about justice. It is never about one person, no matter how iconic."

right before pride is devastating. i know most might just not give two fucks about what happens to those of us on the continent, but as you celebrate whatever is left of Pride this year, don't forget your cousins. this is GHANA too, and if you know any African history this shouldn't be happening!

And she knew she had it

The Portland Fire 🔥🔥🔥

Dang, folks. The Portland Fire is 6-4. Best record through the first 10 games for any W expansion team. EVER. The first time the Fire were an expansion team, they went 10-22 in s1, 11-21 in s2. Having a winning record at this point is a massive accomplishment. Go @portlandfire.bsky.social !

Whats happening at Delaney Hall in NJ tonight is exactly what happened -under Obama and Dem leaders- in 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests in Portland. And in many other similar free speech situations.

Shira Scheindlin is one of a group of 35 former federal judges who filed to reopen President Trump’s settlement with the IRS, accusing him of using the judicial system “for an improper purpose." She said, "The president was on both sides of the case; that's called collusion." #Velshi

There are more pro-democracy institutions in the US, but most of them are run by people who refuse to advocate. By contrast, far-right civic leaders see themselves as agents of social/political change. You can see this in the totally imbalanced religious discussions of LGBTQ & reproductive rights .

This is great and I won’t trust any politician who doesn’t articulate some version of it.

danah boyd recently argued that social media (as we knew it) is mostly dead; what we have now is parasocial media: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... I agree. Networked social media is disappearing, replaced by a new logic/structure of content creator, creator-centered community, & algorithm.

Your first revolution isn't against others but your mind. We’ve been taught so much about what’s right and wrong, what life should look like, and what our purpose is. It’s all this noise about trust, hate, fairness, helping others, and the choices we make…continued 🧵

The most strategic fumble I’ve witnessed among dem leaders is letting their cops beat up their constituents. And it’s been going on for years and weakening us all. It leaves people with few options but to lose faith in the entire system. And faith is all you got because there isn’t very much proof

And then everyone acts shocked when it becomes a nazi bar...

Amnesty International understanding that this "generative AI" shit as currently conceived and deployed is a project which enables fascism and endangers the already vulnerable and marginalized populations of the world.

people in Florida who saw this in the distance thought the nuclear war had started so I know that explosion was BAD bad

Y'all, pray for these new parents living below me. The only bedtime song they kind of know seems to be a hummed fragment of Silent Night that changes key right before "all is calm, all is bright."

This has been tragic and infuriating to watch

Just in case you were wondering, our Bicentennial Celebration in 1976 was held in multiple venues, and the artists included: The Eagles Fleetwood Mac Loggins & Messina (Their final performance before splitting up) Dan Fogelberg Elton John The Beach Boys America Elvis Presley Bruce Springsteen 1/2

RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

The Brakrooms "Yeah, buddy!"

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

Let's be real, if a baby starts speaking and making erratic moral threats for me to make verbal promises, my first thought is that this is a devil trying to trick me, not a spokesperson for a benevolent god.

I keep looking for mitigating factors, or ways the impact of these new policies (which are already being applied, at least in part, per recent anecdotes/reporting) might have been overstated. And I have found none. This is a genuinely extreme, extraordinarily, and immensely dangerous development.

Showed this to my eldest. “Are those… floppy disks?”

Time for my regular update from the beautiful, still in no need of remodeling Moda Center. It’s another exciting Fire game! 🔥 Seriously please do not use climate justice PCEF funds just because a billionaire says he will throw a tantrum 🤮

"The U.S. government deported more than 21,000 people to countries that the State Department deemed too dangerous to visit ... The overwhelming majority of those deported had no criminal convictions. At least 600 were children."

Today, the most stagnant fund I host is: • Ahmed: tinyurl.com/HelpAhmedF • Last donation: May 22 • Ahmed is an art therapist trained to treat the trauma of children in Gaza. Now in exile, he still needs help with basic living costs while he waits for funding for his studies. 24/490 by June 21.

Gee I wonder why women and girls are less inclined to use tools that were popularized via their ability to create fake nude photos of women and girls

University administrators two years ago: we can’t allow social justice movements to change the university as we know it University administrators today: in order to accommodate the new probabilistic bullshit generator no one likes we must change everything about the university

We fucking told you so. We told you and told you and told you. "AI" as an industry has to earn $2 trillion in revenue per year from now to 2029 in order for investments merely to break even. That's simply impossible. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
