Yaakov Roth was a Harvard Law School grad, SCOTUS clerk, and longtime BigLaw partner. His resume, law students were always told, was a sign that he was among those at the top of the legal profession. Today, he said Trump could tear down the Statue of Liberty tonight and no one could stop him.

Thinking again about how we’re basically brains piloting a mech of meat and bones.

If anyone has disposable income and wants to help me pay bills until my next invoices get filled—I haven’t been able to work this entire week so far 😭 Hopefully in the upswing; but I’ve been sleeping like, 15-20 hrs a day since Monday trying to rest. Venmo: @/nal-wu kofi: naladraws

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Israel already invaded Lebanon twice, in 1978 and 1982, before Hezbollah was founded. Israel had already been continuously occupying the Gaza Strip for 21 years before Hamas was founded. And putting these things aside, not a single thing Hezb does justifies Israel destroying 80+ Lebanese villages.

Your right to peacefully protest in the moment exists only so far as a police department permits it. A cop can claim "public safety" as a justification for anything, the prosecutor will take the cop's side, and a judge will take the cop's statement over yours.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

the media acted like the problem was black coats instead of racism

Always ALWAYS get that contract

I hate having to do this but: My spouse & I were hit with unexpected bills, including medical visits, at the same time he lost workdays we’d counted on. We need to get our bank account out of the red and cover immediate needs until payday (June 1 for him, June 5 for me). Any help’s appreciated.

I made this meme some years ago and it just popped up in my phone photo memories and… welp.

I would sooner have the idea machine DIE a terrible agonizing fucking death than AI

Vote them all out. Unacceptable.

WELP, #WotC is doing the expected Union Busting bullshit. We need more people to get fucking loud about this kinda shit. #SupportUnions #CWAALLTHEWAY #uwotc-cwa

Drop an alien that’s not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

You mean IGN, owned by Ziff Davis, founded by William Ziff, a Zionist activist and serving president of the Zionist Organization of America "killed" an article showcasing a Palestinian game based on the true story of the Nakba?

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

Seriously 😐

This morning requires a donut.

incredibly depressing that the reimposition of jim crow districts across the entire south is getting nothing more than generic horse race coverage

Four Pillars Gaming published hundred of AI-generated profiles over the past four months and when people asked to be taken down, they doubled down, defended their process, and refused. The ramifications of hallucinatory LLM "histories" threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record.

Yeah I admit I'm quite ... shocked ... at Texas attempting to have jurisdiction over Rhode Island and now New York ... What is even happening. Transphobia is so powerful. And also, cis people, does this not terrify you, the overreach? What protections do blue state residents have, if this happens?

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

As symbolism and literary references go, this is extremely heavy-handed and would never make it into a fictional work. "Too much," the editors would say...

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

this would kill people

I suspect that the Powers That Be looooove AI because it disengages your brain and softens your thinking. Your free thought, your imagination, gets unplugged and into the socket, the AI node goes. And they control that node. Which means they control your mind. So: they start with kids.

Nothing fishy about this at all 🙄

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

It's ridiculous that employers make you *earn* time for rest and illness. More ridiculous that we internalize it as true.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

Timely with my last post

I have never cared much about what a generation has been labeled, but I just heard someone refer to the youngest children now as Generation AI and this needs to be resisted with tremendous strength.

If only we considered cops murdering unarmed Black people or ICE murdering unarmed protesters or Israel mass murdering unarmed Palestinians or cishet white men mass shooting schoolchildren to be "political violence," maybe we'd get somewhere.

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

so it starts

The consistent targeting of journalists is so incredibly egregious when literally anyone else does it... except Israel. Also the domino ambulance murders. Where they bomb an ambulance, wait for another to arrive to help the healthcare workers, bomb that, and then repeat to kill as many as possible.

The Sisyphean task of laundry continues.

Feeling a little vulnerable putting this out there as I don't typically feel comfortable asking for financial help but here goes nothin' Now that the initial scary diagnosis part is over, I'm now entering the scary US Healthcare part. Any help at all is appreciated, even just a share. Thank you 💜

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them. The graves of multiple children have been defaced. One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

Wocka, wocka, wocka!

Oh, a “Ball(-istics) Room.” Got it.

"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr
