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.

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

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

No more terror in our streets!

Wore a mask on my trip to New York and virtually zero people masked. The friends I have there said something about R values in such a big city making it ineffective .. I will research that, but first I'm curious if others who live in huge cities can tell me: is that normal or is NYC bad at masking?

@currentaffairs.bsky.social I accidentally subscribed to Foreign Affairs when trying to subscribe to your print edition 💀

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Happy new year!

RFK is so *obviously* a grifter, it really baffles me how many people think he's in their corner.

A little #linocut for the end of the year 💚

Are there any good games that communicate the existential abyss that is executive dysfunction?

Fluoride conspiracy theories are a good case study to improve media literacy, and can help us flag low quality info sources. Fluoride occurs naturally in groundwater all over the place. That's how we discovered its effects. Some places naturally have too much and must filter it out to a safe level.

I swear to God the meat industry trade groups have been working overtime with huge retailers to reduce convenient meat-free options and push plant-based meat alternatives back into weird parts of the store.

Based on how AI context works, I bet Google has an awesome, ad-free version of their search engine exposed to Gemini under the hood. This gives the LLM clean, focused results before adding in ads and sponsored material. I'm more interested in ad-free, relevant, and diverse search than AI answers.

Insurance proves we know how to handle risk effectively at scale. In fact, scale makes it real cheap. That we don't socialize car and health insurance in the US and that many normal people *defend* our system from public alternatives proves we're collectively propagandized out of our minds.

Hashtags exhaust me. I prefer everyone appreciate my online bleating without any effort to appear on feeds whatsoever.

I just devoured Citizen Sleeper like a novel I couldn't put down! Thank you @jumpovertheage.com for giving us something so beautiful. The character illustrations by @blackysan.bsky.social transported me, they brought it to life and gave me an itch to create. What a beautiful & well written game!

here to remind everyone that you are closer to being homeless than you are to becoming even a millionaire, let alone a billionaire homelessness is not a personal failing, it is a societal one!

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media. The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

🎯 HELL NO WAS THE ONLY CORRECT RESPONSE. The president ILLEGALLY held hungry people hostage in order to take away their health care AND JUST GOT REWARDED FOR IT. He should have been IMPEACHED. COMPLETE waste of any leverage Democrats generated in the last 40 days. There is no way this ends well.
