On Techtonic, @davekarpf.bsky.social says that fighting data centers could help pop the AI bubble and save democracy. Whole conversation is worth listening to. Full episode: techtonic.fm/episodes/202...

How very predictable. Hope this will boomerang right back at him in a massive disclosure by some brave whistleblowers.

Time for Canadian women to go on a strike. We did it a long time ago in Iceland. And it worked.

Anyone still defending Israel and saying it’s just Bibi that is a madman, and it’s a normal country, needs to let go of the illusion. The bloodlust is way deeper than just one man. How many children has the IDF killed, starved, maimed in the last decades? And how anyone can justify it, is beyond me.

I am sick of this god awful country getting away with relentless massacres day in and day out for decades. It’s never going to stop unless weapons and support is taken away. So the burden of responsibility is on the rest of the world to do so, especially Europe and USA and Israeli neighbors.

"27 arson attacks on mosques in the UK in 4 months. No primetime TV addresses. No terror threat. No discourse. A random attack on two Jews gets the full national psychodrama treatment because it can be so usefully weaponised to serve the interests of Zionism.' www.donotpanic.news/p/the-uk-des...

Waiting for the very ludicrously expensive rehab centers to detoxify rich and entitled people from their ai delusions, to pop up.

Exactly the point.

It's 2016 and Greece is violating human rights at sea. It's 2017 and Greece is violating human rights at sea. It's 2018 and Greece is violating human rights at sea. It's 2019 and Greece is violating human rights at sea. ... It's 2026 and Greece is violating human rights at sea.

As a German I see all the similarities.

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

I’ve been reading this over the past couple of days and it is EVERYTHING.

#Italy, #Spain and #Turkey strongly condemn #Israel for boarding Global #SumudFlotilla boats carrying #emergency aid to #Gaza in international waters off the coast of #Greece #Israeli forces have boarded and seized 21 of the convoy's 63 vessels and arrested 179 people. TV2 📸 AP

Israel illegally abducted these people *600 miles* away from Gaza. And Greece is accused of cooperating. If it did at all, the implications are huge. Would pin one NATO member against several others in the region – including Italy, Spain, and Turkey – who are slamming the attack.

🤣🤣🤣

Maybe the only way to fix United States of America is to unbind the states from the federal and just be a bunch of countries like Europe. Each state is anyhows like a unique country.

I was lucky enough to finally see him in concert last year. Happy Birthday Willie!

The minute you assent to someone taking someone's rights is the minute you assent to somebody taking YOUR rights. All of us who've ever been under the bus owe it to each other to lock arms and get on the damn bus together.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu just shared Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon.

🤣🤣🤣

A large portion of the American population in 2026 is still mad that segregation was ended and slavery abolished. They are both deranged and dangerous and are currently running the country on all fronts.

I don't know how widely understood it is that the US is now conditioning lifesaving, utterly essential health aid to African countries on access to minerals and other ~sweet deals. I probably only know about it bc of the @unbreaking.org team that tracks it. healthpolicy-watch.news/ghana-rebuff...

The King of Scams

REP. ADAM SMITH: We roll out red carpet for Putin, we belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in White House — he has no cards, right? Well, year after that, it looks like Zelenskyy had couple of cards to play because Ukraine is actually winning against Russia.

who could possibly have guessed

For the @wired.com Big Interview pod this week, I sat down with Ben McKenzie to talk about his anti-crypto crusade, his new documentary, and why everyone is still obsessed with the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. (Hint: Cult) Ben is great, smart, forceful -- and the doc is well worth your time:

"AIPAC is notorious for... hiding the fact they're spending the money. Guess what other industry also does that." From the new 'We're Not Kidding', @benmckenzie.bsky.social explains to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social why he's supporting Brad Lander for Congress. Watch here: zeteo.com/p/ben-mckenz...

I really want to see this film. I hope it makes it to Iceland.

“I don’t want to be one of those people that sat,” said Libby Blyth, an accountant who drives people to work who are afraid of being spotted by ICE and delivers food to families in hiding. “I don’t want to be somebody’s history lesson.”

I remain convinced that the real threat of AI isn't the machines themselves taking over - it's the specific super-assholes putting them to work in the worst possible ways.

A British king is lecturing us - correctly! - about constitutional democracy. The Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves.

this photo of kid rock giving a speech at the pentagon about the strait of hormuz has really solidified in my mind that the united states is the least intelligent place on earth.

The young man was just peacefully protesting at the DC Hilton Saturday night. Just like that group of patriots on Jan 6th. I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. 🥱

This is emblematic of the naval-gazing bullshit we're getting from some media types around this event. Cheryl Hines is fine. The people being killed by her husband's policies and lies won't be. Nothing much happened to the people in that banquet hall, but they were all so shocked and changed by it.

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most. Blatant market manipulation after UAE announced it’s leaving OPEC.

Some pretty crazy stuff that somehow didn’t make it on the air.

If you doubt any of the below then ask yourself: what are the odds of the self-appointed experts on gender ALSO being experts on ADHD and Autism diagnosis?

This morning I woke up to the most joyful sounds I can think of. The singing birds of spring.

Last week, there was a mass shooting in Mike Johnson’s hometown. Afterward, Gabby Giffords – a Democrat who herself survived an assassination attempt – tried to meet with Johnson to discuss gun reform. He refused. Days later, a gunman tried to breach the dinner he was attending.

Notice that the Trump regime is not just blaming one violent person for what happened Saturday night. It’s blaming 8 million peaceful “No Kings” protesters as well as you and me posting peacefully on social media. Trump isn't opposed to violence. He's opposed to resistance.

An investigation by ICIJ, with the help of cybersecurity analysts at Toronto University’s @citizenlab.ca, has revealed a sophisticated offensive strategy against ICIJ and its network following the 2025 publication of #ChinaTargets. Read our findings:

It's been clear for a hot minute an anti-autism diagnosis campaign is in the works but I am truly stunned they are literally just going for the Detransitioner playbook
