I'd rather there not be GenAI capabilities AT ALL, but this would be a start!

BLOODY HELL

Huge support to the inflatable frog costume person in Portland for both embarrassing the regime and reclaiming frog imagery from the internet right.

Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Our dark work begins again, Baltimore!

laws and rules only work if you follow them and some only follow them because they fear what happens to them if they don’t. when you don’t have that fear…

it’d probably be a good idea to figure out a gameplan beyond cnn spots and strongly worded letters as trump continues to stomp all over expectations that decorum and respect for procedure can restrain someone who can basically do whatever he wants

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Right. No that’s true thank you

Luckily, computers aren't sentient. And they never will be. But the fact that people THINK they own sentient creatures and aren't troubled by that idea is... deeply worrying

really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt

His name is f—ing Miranda.

when you say "Albany" wrong once and just roll with it and then you're in too deep

Ubisoft bowed down to literally the biggest losers on the planet and for what. To make even less money than they already don't make? Pathetic.

“Making me never WANT to”? Having Grok AI slop on poor display at the premier ENSURED that I’m not going to see one of my favorite movie series ever. I was willing to overlook Jared Leto. I won’t overlook AI being used at the premier of THE MOVIE ABOUT AI TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

I get why super heroes wear costumes now.

Me too 👇👇

DUDE TALKED ABOUT DOING WHILE THE PM OF CANADA SET NEXT TO HIM IN SILENCE If you think it's not going to happen, you cant be helped. And god, all the "no one saw this coming" posts will kill me dead

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

[S] My antifa girlfriend lives in Canada.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

If you come for my people, you come through me.

He’ll if you know the person being talked about … ask them directly. A lot of times these whisper campaigns turn out to be grudges that they wanna drag folks into to destroy someone they feel wronged by.

Its parasocial foolishness cranked up to 1000 when folks become idols based off nothing more but a smoke screen of looking “good” via their online persona. Also, if people come to you “warning” you about someone? Ask questions, ask for receipts.

So who among your family and friends are you willing to let die for "long-horizon strategy"? Are YOU willing to die? You willing to forego life-saving healthcare, using public restrooms, deciding your own name, not being beaten to death by any jackass who thinks you look "wrong"? No? Then shut up.

“I never thought I would live to see something where America, which saved my parents after the war, gave them a new start in life, could be tilted toward a new kind of fascism and that’s what I see everywhere I look now.” -Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning creator of Maus.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

we gotta stop using “democratic run” or “blue cities” and start saying donald trump is invading “american cities”

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Receipts: "biological sex" proliferated in political conversation and legislation when ADF put its bathroom bills out in 2015, and then again with the sports and gender affirming care ban bills of 2020/21 - ant at that time almost exclusively in the mouths of transphobes. bsky.app/profile/lizs...

Cis friends and allies: Do you see how "biological" is simply a slur when used by transphobes to demean trans people? "Birth name" is a term we already have (not that that would be any more defensible, just less insane-sounding). "Biological" here is solely a dog-whistling cudgel against trans ppl

And you might then ask "What the fuck does biological name mean then?" It means, quite literally, "As a fascist I consider my ability to say crazy-sounding shit without pushback a demonstration of my dominance over all out-groups, and it's my duty to demean and dehumanize trans people at all times"

When Frank Sinatra released "New York, New York" Devo had already released two albums

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen. Bar none. Period. That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens. She deserves the Nobel Prize

The Washington Post is Fox News in print

Peddlers* And let's not forget about the rampant anti-Indigenous racism in addition to faking the support

The people making the signs at the ostrich farm need an editor. One reads, "We have heard immunity. Leave us alone" with a picture of an ostrich. Normally, I wouldn't care. But I have no good will here. Assaulting people. Faking Indigenous support. Being belligerent. Woo woo paddlers

I am glad to read the head of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association supporting me and taking a stand for academic freedom!

Years ago, we got word that Joni Mitchell was at death's door. She's still with us. Hoping a similar scenario will play out with her fellow singing songwriting genius here. No siree, this is not the time to be losing Dolly Parton.

I have no idea if these fundraiser accounts are even monitored, but it's better than just leaving them on read.

Omg thank you for commenting this. What the flaming fuck.

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume
