Can’t even run the US properly and now they plan on running Venezuela.

A sloppy, sweaty and slurring Donald Trump announces that the U.S intends to “run Venezuela” until they can install a leader.. He Ironically brings up the talk of peace and reveals that U.S oil companies will be invading the Venezuelan oil industry.. Arrest him now..

To slop or not to slop? That is the question. And the faster AI advances, the dirtier the answer gets. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Trump and Republicans’ resolution for 2026: Jack up health insurance premiums for 22 million, including 337,000 in Massachusetts—all to pay for tax breaks for their CEO billionaire buddies. Our resolution? Don’t agonize—organize and take back our government in 2026.

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

Startling discoveries in climate science, ecology and archaeology have been made in “Africa’s great green lung” over the past decade. In October our correspondent took a journey to the frontier to learn some of its secrets

Top Stories in Human Evolution of 2025. A lot happened this year! 🏺

Hell yeah: @science.org's official Breakthrough of the Year for 2025 is ... [drumroll] ... ... the unstoppable rise & spread of renewable energy.

I’d guess that a lot of people don’t often consider the intrinsic value of nature. With Avatar: Fire and Ash out today, it’s reminds me of how many people feel disconnected from nature but still want to promote biodiversity so that we don’t have to escape to fictional worlds. 🌍

Carbon emissions from electricity used by AI is estimated to have been between 33 and 80 million metric tons for 2025. AI's total water footprint is somewhere between 312 and 767 billion liters, which would top the 46 billion liters in bottled water that humans use in a year.

And this is exactly the reason why there should be a professional ethics framework agreed with urgency for #gen-AI, in particular photo-realistic stuff : archaeologists and heritage orgs who use it for general outreach & #SciComm are contributing to this problem.

Officials in Providence just identified the man they say killed two students at #BrownUniversity and fatally wounded an #MIT professor in #Brookline. He was found dead. WHAT WE KNOW: https://www.wcvb.com/article/mit-professor-shot-brookline-brown-university-shooting-possible-link/69811151

AI-generated photos of “suspects” of the Brown University shooting are now being shared online, interfering with the investigation.

Meanwhile, large parts of Washington state are under water because of historic river flooding

they said it. they actually said it.

"Rachel Friedberg, a Brown economics professor, said the mass shooting happened in a review session for the final exam of her Principles of Economics course. She said she learned what happened from a teaching assistant who led the session. Friedberg herself was not present."

BREAKING: Brown University says there is an active shooter on campus in Rhode Island.

Brown University says there's an active shooter on campus. Emergency scanner says multiple victims, but unclear how many. Video footage viewed by the Brown Daily Herald "depicted several individuals lying on the ground near the Sciences Library appearing to be assisted by police."

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Curious about this framing as there is evidence of fire use by humans at least 95,000 years ago in Malawi. 🏺

It feels like it's every day now that an article like this is published. I try and share them with my students but often wonder if they ever second guess using GenAI.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

It’s Friday. May I be blunt? F*ck this. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

Fossil fuels are more expensive and far less efficient than renewable sources of energy and doubling down on them raises prices. Trump’s efforts to revitalize the coal industry is saddling consumers with the costs of swaddling an expensive and dying industry.

During this busiest shopping period of the year, we’re hitting pause on purchases from Home Depot, Target, and Amazon. Let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

“Artificial intelligence is among the factors driving the uptick in holiday spending, with traffic from AI sources to retail sites expected to rise 515% to 520% this year from 2024, according to Adobe.”

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
