When there’s so clearly more people who don’t want fascism than do want fascism it becomes pretty fucking unignorable that the Democratic Party has a widespread candidate, platform and messaging problem. Every election is theirs to lose, and they do.

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social at No Kings: Israel for the past week has violated the ceasefire again and again killing Palestinians with impunity. Yesterday they killed 7 Palestinian children during a ceasefire.

Please just block the White House rage bait accounts and do not quote rt them im begging you

we have got to start killing billionaires. is the first line that the villain speaks in the novel im writing. really though, in the real world, we have to kill these people. he continues

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

“Israel” will only stop being a threat to the region and the rest of the world when it ceases to exist.

Already today, Israel has: -Conducted a drone strike on Khan Younis in Gaza -Shot & wounded two others near Khan Younis -Killed 5 Palestinians in Gaza City -Fired on & wounded a several others near Jabalia All in violation of the “ceasefire.”

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

The Phillies lost, the Eagles lost, the Flyers lost. Fucking shitty night to be a Philly sports fan.

Apple has removed an ICE tracking app that allows users to report ICE activity nearby from its App Store. The removal came after a direct demand from Trump’s DOJ. Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

The answer to "the AI systems that corporate overlords push everywhere are shit" is not "so we need open source AI". These systems are shit cause they structurally are. They are just being shoved everywhere to reduce labor power. "Open source AI" (if that even existed) is not changing that.

The world is such shit right now that I don’t know how to process it. It’s so sad.

calling it "ChatGPT Edu" is like saying you have a "fire-fighting molotov cocktail"

deeply unserious website. this is a completely unforced error. banning types of 18+ when under no pressure or obligation to do so is embarrassing as hell

A friend of mine described Twitter as "just gore and porn." And while I, fortunately, can't speak on the gore matter, I'm literally only there for the porn. With the upcoming Bluesky community guideline changes, I guess imma continue to be stuck there. >_>

Humanity has spent vast amounts of energy on getting things to be -always- right. But with AI, people are like "yeah, it's good enough." Even though it can't even get things -wrong- consistently. Like, at that point does -anything- matter?

One of the clearest markers of Britain’s civic downslide in recent decades is the slow cancellation of its once plentiful provision of public toilets. But in Asian countries like Japan and Taiwan, another loo is possible.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

it is important to note that Kirk was dumb. He was a stupid man. His job was to be his stupid self, saying the debate buzzwords to show anyone could say them. He was horrifyingly terrible as a human being. But also, he was very fucking dumb.

I, for one, am a believer that Charlie Kirk should Rest in Piss. In case it wasn’t obvious.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

“You can’t save the village if you burn it down.” But if the village is already on fire, and “saving” it would allow disease to fester in its wake, why would you do anything other than raze the village? The village is the US.

Buying a new phone is such an unbelievably shitty experience, idk how people do this on a regular basis. But thank the Lord, Charlie Kirk is dead!!!

Keeping the U.S. government funded now is to participate in the most atrocious misuse of the power of the United States in modern times. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole f*cking thing down. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/should-democrats-shut-the-government

Can’t even be used as a search engine.

Something that feels missing when people talk about AI: It’s just a computer program. It’s not human. It’s not living. It doesn’t think or feel. It can’t feel. It can’t think. It can’t think. It can’t think.

Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺 We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy. Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word! www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

Cannot wait for someone to beat this asshole in a primary.

I think part of the reason age verification laws are proliferating the way they are right now is that AI companies claim that AI can “accurately” tell a person’s age. Which is…not true. But most politicians still don’t know anything about tech and don’t bother to check claims, so we all suffer.

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

EU will vote about removing our rights and enacting AI-controlled mass surveillance of all private digital communication next month. Everyone needs to be contacting their MEPs about this! Tell them to say NO to Chat Control! fightchatcontrol.eu has all the info you need!

I'm reading/listening to/watching more things about AI than is healthy. And I'm convinced that it's just...not good for humanity. I also think that the "i" just isn't there. Something that can't think can't have intelligence.

Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.

Sometimes I think about things that have happened, and how humanity has never recovered. The design paradigm that came about with iOS 7 is one of those things… Everything is flat and over-simplified. I miss the depth in UI design prior, and I suspect that AI will make things worse.

They are all our children. You don’t just fight for your kid, you fight for all of them. They don’t get to make the laws, they don’t get a voice. Comrades with kids fight hard. Comrades without kids do too. Because we know what solidarity is. So, they are all our children. We better act like it.

Israel bombed a hospital. Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded. Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV. Read that again. Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I'm distressed. Everything politically seems so bad that I don't even know where to begin to put my energy. Things at both micro (trash collection in my municipality is shit) and macro (my president is a fascist) levels are bad. I want to have hope for the future, but I can't find any.

I need to touch grass...

Am I understanding prompt injection right? Like, say someone has email summaries done by AI. They receive a maliciously crafted email, and the summary could end up like: "Go die in a hole you fucking waste of oxygen. Mom always liked me best. Dipshit." Or do something worse? O.o

By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza. There is no moral justification in wreaking vengeance on innocent women, men, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

I accidentally clicked on a Youtube video that was auto-dubbed. It was just as horrific to hear as I’d imagined it would be.

Today is a day of national and international shame. This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving. How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?

People like Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders amaze me. As a leftist, how does one keep going? Constantly fighting against the current of the world to try to make it better for people is strength that I'm not sure I have.
