'This news has moved me from "maybe computer use should be regulated" to "Butlerian Jihad Now" on the radicalisation scale.'

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Billionaires shouldn't exist.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

straight up Gestapo shit

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Wait til you hear what they’re doing to school and public librarians. This guy wouldn’t last a day at the desk.

was that not already banned

You have the enemy on the run! Would you like to: ->Press the advantage and attain total victory ->Reach out to them for a noble compromise

Greg moving into his new office in El Paso:

everything sucks absolute shit right now (fuck ICE forever), but i am moved by & ENORMOUSLY grateful for all the righteous people who helped this silly video raise another $60,000 for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. there is so much good out there. www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Good night

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

We stand with Minnesota today and every single day. ICE is terrorizing our communities. We must call our members of Congress and urge them to stop funding ICE.

in the past week more than 400 people have cumulatively donated more than $23,500 to my fundraiser for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund! it would be *amazing* to hit $26,000 by the time the video drops tomorrow 👀 www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

“Since you didn’t give me a peace prize I declare war on you” is the ultimate “you called me racist too many times, now I am racist”

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

With most work being done out of a browser, this is already the case for many people. There's also FOSS options like LibreOffice and OnlyOffice. Bazzite (and SteamOS) aren't just for games.

Quarterback vs. Quarter back in your own home.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

i'm trying to picture in my mind the specific tendencies inside the mind of a far-right, trump-loving professional oboist. i'm imagining a tympanist with bobby fischer level derangements

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years. this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

The Trump administration now has zine distributors and jail support efforts in its sights.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens

They will murder you and put the gun in your hand

could really use some scratch, I'll do a 25% discount for the next couple days

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

this is all happening because 80,000 people in the 6 states where votes actually count googled "joe bidon still presdinant?" on election day morning

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

The University of Florida spends about $21 per month per student on library materials and database access.

slow day in the office so figured we'd start some beef with museums

New in PN: The tech industry will come to regret its embrace of Trump "A comprehensive anti-corruption, pro-consumer movement would inevitably target the industry and its indifference to the harms it creates. It could be incredibly potent, and tech barons would have no one to blame but themselves."

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.
