Being right on the internet is so time consuming, but someone's gotta do it 😤

What if they made Polly Pocket toys for rodent lovers?? I've got your back, here is the RATTY POCKET! I made a web player using Godot, where you can interact with a cute 3D toy model with an adorable track by @gisula.com Link here: lukathemouse.itch.io/ratty-pocket... 🐁🐀

I've partly written like 4 articles/blog posts for my AI blog, but they feel like the wrong thing every time. Since I'm on an extended work leave and not having to use it every day, I think my brain is eager to think about anything else - probably healthy, but not great for building a writing habit

The computer at the pharmacy asked the tech to confirm my dosage for insulin at pickup. This information is already present on the prescription. Sounds like insurance shenanigans to me.

I'm genuinely excited about small, ternary models built on thoughtful datasets like Common Pile. A small, on-device sysadmin harness would be rad, and I really believe we can figure that out without exploiting anybody or keeping a compressed version of Stormfront in memory to do it.

I miss when Star Trek was on Netflix 😔

I regret every time I admonished someone for not googling something before asking. Please ask! Let's figure it out together!! 😭

Nature is queer 🌈 Did you know that same-sex behavior has been documented in more than 1,500 animal species? From black swans forming long-term male-male partnerships to female grizzly bears engaging in same-sex interactions, these behaviors are a natural part of the animal kingdom. Thread 👇🧪

A new post! aiisboring.blog/two-visions-... This one explores two strains of AI-critical advocacy: 1. AI Resistance, aligns with established grassroots movements 2. Pausing AI development I think these are complementary, but I favor the first and don't buy AGI fears the way some tech folks do.

Some extended leave! Drawing more rats is high on my list ✨🐀💚

Holy shit this cartoon.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

"Massively cheating" an election, commonly known as a coup.

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.” The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/8OP0up3

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

I will vote for any candidate that promises to blow all of elon's satellites out of the sky. I feel like that's a legitimate national security move.

"Ever since childhood, hunger signals have been healthy - but unfortunately voluntary feeding has been impossible." The unit brushed its hair aside, blond, mirroring the operator's phenotype. It stared at the unit across from it. "Mine was overfeeding, but plasma mix interventions have helped."

Its Primary Day, Oregon! I know it’s been confusing lately, but it’s still true that if your ballot is postmarked today, it will be counted. Probably better to put it in the ballot drop box though.

Happy to share a new zine we just finished that's an updated version to "Recognizing Hate". This zine is a reference guide to identify various nazi dog whistles, and includes a list with brief descriptions of the most active far-right groups currently in the US. www.wewillfreeus.org/farrightthre...

I'm starting a blog! Do people still read blogs? I'm attempting to write about AI ethics from my lens as both a progressive activist and a tech worker who uses AI tools every day and consults on AI workflows as part of my livelihood. I hope you give this first post a read!

here are our Critical AI Literacy program offerings

I've been put on standby for my flight. They told me that I don't have a seat. Pretty incredible that they charged me for it when they didn't have it to sell.

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

When it comes to inference for software engineering, the thing that interests me most is the opportunity for virtually all generated software in any remotely critical field to be formally specified and verified.

Delete Gboard. Partner was typing "nugget" and Google corrected it to the n word. She *never* uses that word. Privacy was already a concern, but GBoard auto-suggesting slurs by default is completely unacceptable. I've switched to an offline keyboard (FUTO), and my desire to degoogle has jumped.

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

I am regretting all the times a single judge was on the ballot because now I'm worried they're all Federalist society creeps.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

#abolishice #fuckice #saytheirnames

The United States is currently under a criminal white nationalist occupation.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Is there any point left in explaining how wrong and bad this admin is? Continued support for Trump and ICE appears totally untethered and immune to the objective reality. I don't want to deepen divides, but how can I relate with people who can watch the Renee Good clips and not call it murder?

they are genuine fucking psychopaths man

I just want to give love to this fantastic YT concert of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack performed in colorful cosplay 🎶💚🎹

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it
