Even when it doesn’t make the daily news, our planet’s climate emergency nonetheless continues to unfold, and we still “need to act quickly on our rapidly dwindling opportunities to prevent dangerous and unmanageable climate outcomes.”

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

If you were taken in by the “high school sports” Trans panic I think you’re dumber than dirt. I think you should lose independence. You cannot be trusted to live life without hurting others through your stupidity and require a custodian. “WHAT ABOUT FAIRNESS IN SPORTS” hello, ward of the state.

I am kind of scared about how fast all of these sites are kind of just pointing the gun at you to hand over your personal information. Feels like the opposite of everything i learned about internet safety when i was in elementary school

in a groundbreaking, world-first surgery, the two wolves inside my large adult son have been successfully euthanized. he now exists within a never-before imagined frame of morality; operating under ethics free of our lupine duality. what will he do now? i hope he convinces his mother to take me back

They are twins, Mr Peepers and Mango. Human nature and human desire: our unconscious ability to love and our desire to be loved. Mr Peepers ate the fruit recklessly. Mango is himself the fruit, giving of himself with the same reckless nature. We are both. We are all both of them, at the same time.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

“Pope Leo XIV has urged priests to not to use artificial intelligence to write their homilies or to seek ‘likes’ on social media platforms like TikTok.” “‘To give a true homily is to share faith,’ and artificial intelligence ‘will never be able to share faith,’ the pope added.”

It's a neat argument because he's not leaning at all on the quality of the homily's prose or the creativity required to write it, but the intersubjective exchange it consummates.

Hilary Cass right now.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

r/relationships: Every time my husband (40M) and I (19F) have a disagreement he literally leaves the room, hides behind the doorframe, and peeks one eye around the corner to see if I'm still mad. When I told him that's not how adults handle conflict, he said "it works for Jerry." What should I do?

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I've heard that Amazon's AI is among the worst of the bunch but its engineers are forced to only use it in order to dog food

BREAKING: Trump admin issues new policy aimed at ending transgender-related care in federal prisons. "It's a really dangerous policy,” an ACLU lawyer representing trans people in federal prison suing the Trump administration tells Law Dork of the new Bureau of Prisons policy.

my wife texted IT HAS HAPPENED to the group chat and it wasn't about what i hoped it was about and i'm very disappointed and we have revised our group chat style manual

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Lent is the time of year Christians emulate Jesus who, in the desert, Christmogged Satan and showed us all how to holinessmax

but no really we need cis ppl who positively and enthusiastically advocate for us and i dont care if it's a little corny bc im so fucking tired of the ironic detachment "no one cares" angle of allyship

every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Started the day with ashes, ending it with Berning. A reminder that while the Gospel is not partisan it is absolutely political. God humbles the haughty, lifts the lowly, lame to Earth as a day laborer, and was murdered by an occupying military. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions. They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

As usual, wonderful writing by @hangryeyes.bsky.social. One quibble: I'd replace "only" with "best." Both elders and experience have taught me that what may look like the only way to fulfill an objective is rarely the only way—especially when considering matters as complex as a presidential race.

“the left wont engage with ai,” dude all i did was take a look at the numbers and they dont work and you cant make me pretend they do

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

This is fucking despicable. They’re copypasting their abuse of trans people onto new targets now (and many of the same targets, given how much overlap there is). I had to fight for a shared care agreement with the ADHD meds that I fucking need to function. Taking them from anyone is beyond cruel.

✨heads up a LOT of your friends rn are going to have trouble migrating away from discord to more open alternatives! that's because they need discord for the group chat that doesn't have you in it. uh huh. they're all in there. shit talking you. it's not just your anxiety it's real it;s happening

It's very frustrating that MUG (and more broadly, the DSA Left) - have clear strategies of electoral politics - have had 6+ years to test them - have won 0 times - have not changed their strategy At some point it feels like "Socialist Tribune Electoralism cannot fail, only be failed".

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

The President of the United States most likely raped girls along with his best friend Epstein. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

FINALLY saw The People's Joker, a real fever dream of a movie (complimentary). Vera Drew uses a whirlwind of visual tech to tell an affective, darkly humorous, charmingly dorky story about her life in the world of comedy. Feels scrappy & raw, but that belies the amount of work that went into it.

I know I'm late to the party on this but People's Joker is awesome

This is, in fact, a law designed to prevent child survivors from coming forward while *looking* tough. That’s not an accident: both are major Republican priorities.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

One of the things that really fucking annoys me about AI is that people *do not understand it* (on purpose, bc these companies want it that way) and they assume it’s as reliable as the computers they’ve been using their whole life when it’s actually about as reliable as your least capable intern

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

👀 A federal judge has ordered the disclosure of a roster of DOGE employees and affiliates, as well as a text message revealing a top NEH official’s views on “woke” and “progressive” grants. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
