Straight up Klan talk from the 1920s. The reference to Islam is the only thing that would mark this as something from our own era.

Good morning all, I'm #fundraising with @msfusastreaming.bsky.social to benefit @doctorswithoutborders.org and encourage folks to get to their local stores for #FreeRPGDay! Pop by my streams and keep an eye out for #TTRPG posts about the Free RPG Day publishing partners and offerings! 🧵 (1/2)

This is important and one to keep an eye on.

T-minus one week to ejection and "desert wandering." I love Baltimore (city and county) with all my heart and soul, but fuck every corporation that now owns it and keeps it down. May their feet stand as firm as their gangrenous souls. May their steps thereafter be endless in penitence.

No one understands what it does to you to be the focus of this level and volume of sustained, concentrated hatred for years of your life, every day, 12+ hours a day, just for showing up to work except the people who have lived it.

In Colombia, a candidate in recent elections for right-wing Centro Democrático featured a man with heavy blurring in a campaign video — but I still ID’d this blurry guy as leader of the Hitler-loving, B&H/C18-linked Active Club Bogotá. My @bellingcat.com latest www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/05...

So the statue-pfp crowd on The Bad Place are Having a Moment about the depiction of Achilles (image as a representative example). But the first guy to subvert Achilles was...Homer. Achilles isn't intended as some uncomplicated role model; that Alexander treated him as one is kinda a red flag.

Ramón y Cajal would be furious that AI techbros are taking his name and meticulous work and idly shoving it next to their slop farms.

Ok now that the molecular engineering’s been worked out, the sequel paper needs to estimate total acreage required to grow bamboo sufficient to replace petrochemical plastics, identify climate and rainfall requirements, and say what’s growing in those fields now that would need to get swapped out.

We have a lot of fun out here, but this is what it's all about. Smoke and CO alarms have expiration dates. Replace them every 10 years.

NEW: A recent 60 Minutes report highlights the need for journalists to avoid unwittingly playing into hate-group propaganda. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/fun-in-fas...

If you been following along, you might have noticed this account popping up in my replies to point out every little inaccuracy I say. While we’re on the subject of transparency, it’s worth pointing out that Tucker is @davidcostello.bsky.social ‘s Campaign Manager and I think his decision to hover 1/

Having to pay my credit card through a specific (chromium based) browser is a telling state of how the system wants to force us to live with its abuses.

On barefoot back country trekking: Simply put...don't. Thorns, microbio parasites, sharp scree (rocks), scared animals, ticks and mosquitos, and more are all to be avoided. Even our ancestors 30,000 years ago knew to put something on their feet in the wilds.

Anecdotally, something very similar happened to a cousin, but... not in sand. In the Adirondacks we used to visit a beaver dam and sometimes took a trek around it. Mud in these boggy areas acts very, very much like the quicksand shown here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNcF...

Bad language jokes: Why did the robot dog drag the shinshoku through the streets by their leg? It couldn't understand Shinto. For a further review of why robot dogs are bad, see @bennjordan.bsky.social's recent vid. youtu.be/lA8WuXDXfcI

While I didn't find my channel on 101soundboards, a search for my username did find a clip of me on another channel (CNEGames) for which the site also created an AI TTS voice generator. Also, the "trending" sounds in the U.S. are littered with clips of the n-word, so… that's great.

I seem to have a problem with myatproto, App passwords don't work anymore and a move to eurosky also impossible. Can anyone help?

Just in case anyone forgot, the National Guard is still in DC ans ICE is still in Chicago, LA, Portland, Minneapolis and beyond…

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

I love my father, he's a damn smart man when he chooses to, but he can "now rank the capabilities" of the most common AI systems while simultaneously telling me that Temu isn't a big deal to buy from. Where's the man who taught me to be skeptical of all easy answers and deep research into things?!

“In paleo-climate terms, New Orleans is gone; the question is how long it has,” said Jesse Keenan, an expert in climate adaptation at Tulane University and one of the paper’s five co-authors. #BlackskyNews www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Wife had never seen The Matrix (despite both of us being middle age), and we got into a long discussion on "why didn't the Wachowski sisters just do better research on..." She's lived her whole life around academics of one kind or another, and it left a blind spot.

There is no peace if reconciliation must give credence to hate. There is no love if greed is to be seated across from it. There is no truth if we must always first perform public rites from a gilded tome of lies. Better to build a simple table and sit beside each other than a thousand grand tombs.

Yonatan Zeigen, son of Oct 7 victim: “It’s not that we don’t want peace because it’s complicated. Peace is complicated bc we don’t want it.” MK Na’ama Lazimi: "Security will be achieved when both peoples who call this land home have personal security, live with dignity, & have hope for the future.”

As I experiment with crafting certain ridiculous objects at home, I end up wondering and subsequently diving down various rabbit holes of information, especially on prehistory. One thing that comes up over and over is the fact that there's a misinformation industry (e.g. ancient aliens).

Can anyone in the archaeology community (especially regarding chalcolithic metallurgy) verify the info on Gre Fılla here is still accurate? www.sgmk.edu.pl/groundbreaki...

Listen to Dr. Smith. She was telling us to avoid cruise ships in 2019 even before COVID. www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...

Last year, it only took five of us showing up and making public comment at a city council meeting to get the council to restore library funding that the mayor’s office had cut. Just a few people showing up can make a huge difference.

I'm quitting content creation but I'm not quitting making stuff. And I wrote a cute little essay about what that means to me 🍄 ellipsus.com/read/7hO7YSO...

In terms of both accessibility problems and chronic software bugs, this is why STEM shouldn't get fancy with fonts. Given I don't know if this was an LLM problem somewhere in the pipeline or a standard bug, I won't presume, but I can hazard a guess.

It’s very important to note (because the people this will affect are already prone to anxiety!) per the article the FDA has no authority whatsoever to do this and in fact drug companies can simply refuse to comply - and have done so with other drugs as recently as last month.

It's telling that we continue to honor the memories of those Minneapolis folks who were considered White, but we don't even remember the names of those who weren't.

Extremism expert Alexander Ritzmann warns about the Active Clubs popping up around the world. “This is not just a nationalist sports club. It’s the strategy to build a neo-Nazi militia.” You can watch my entire interview at the link below. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/extremism-...

> The mechanism of matching and generalising probabilistic patterns based on information from a given database is less useful for tasks that require other types of mechanisms for their solution. [This risks] the illusion that LLMs [...] have a connection to truth and understanding that they do not.

Don't want to be accused of using AI? Cite your sources as you write or otherwise work. Not only is it proof, it also helps you maintain mental continuity of your own work as you learn more and change material and it also helps others better understand references and context.

"Alligator Alcatraz" has become notorious for its horrific conditions and denying people their right to counsel. It’s past time that it was shut down, but these conditions aren't unique to this one facility. People detained there must not be transferred to other abusive ICE facilities.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

You don’t help the fight against antisemitism by engaging in Islamophobia. You don’t help the fight against Islamophobia by engaging in antisemitism.

New details have been released about Palm Beach International Airport, recently renamed to Donald J. Trump International Airport. Their new contract requires the airport to purchase Trump merchandise from Trump's own licensor, directly violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

If you see it, don't repeat it, Take the time to scrub and bleach it, Rip and tear the racist thing, Stolen culture in a ring, Good done when we care to disentangle, But better justice to mangle all the Nazi angles.

Even if it's not your thing (Neon isn't mine), help a fellow creative get their work out in the world with $10 [if you can afford it].

If you are the editor of a journal and you have received a submission from me that looks a bit weird (weirder than usual) please assume it is a LLM-generated paper from a ghost author. This has happened four times in recent weeks. In each case it is possible to see how a genuine published paper 1/2

I take Lexapro. I have taken Lexapro for over two decades. The times that I have discontinued taking Lexapro have ended very badly for me. RFKJ is trying to kill millions of Americans like me. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

We ought to chase them from nation to nation, each taking a cut to repair the harms done, until these parasitic moths on the fabric of humanity have only a wealth of dust at their fingertips.

I do rather enjoy this part of the loading screen to 'The Long Dark'

It's not just the WotC c-suite. It's Hasbro. It's the company that wants you to spend your life savings on plastic and digital trash. It's the company that doesn't want you to be creative unless you've paid them for it.

One of the unsung things about human to human science outreach and education is that fostering a community willing to discuss any given topic also induces scientists to think from new perspectives and create solutions that were previously missed.

"Platner knows how to connect with people who are on the other side! He can convert them!" "Platner understands the secret evil messages better than us, he can tell us the truth!" From decades dealing with incels, racists, ethno-supremacists, etc, neither of the above is true.
