Leave the X platform Leave the X platform Leave the X platform Ya'll were WARNED about the nazi plagiarism machine well over a year ago, why are you STILL clinging onto that platform for 5% of the engagement you used to get? I need brands to mobilise, too. This is ridiculous.

Oh VERY cool! Their base conclusion is that there is no long-term risk of death from getting the COVID vaccination, and it may actually reduce mortality (they actually expect to see *more* deaths in the vaxxed group due that cohort being older, but saw fewer)…

Tony Dokoupil just last week said that CBS was going to represent the views of average Americans and not the elites. He then cancelled his vacation to come on the air and say that regime change in Venezuela is awesome, a position that maybe 20% of Americans hold.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

worth noting that this neighborhood has a set up a coordinated response to ice/fascism on the ground in minneapolis. they are defending their neighborhoods and standing up for black and brown neighbors down the street and abroad. south minneapolis stands up. proud and tall.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life

The Mayor of New York City @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has released a statement:

Winter Landscape because I'm on a hike right now and having a blast ❄️

"To the male Julodimorpha bakewelli beetle, a beer bottle lying on the ground looks like the biggest, most beautiful female he has ever seen. He doesn't waste any time when he sees her. The male immediately mounts the object of his affection." www.thoughtco.com/the-giant-je...

Information pollution. Algorithmic sewage. Radioactive mind flaying. Stock market grifting. Parasitism on government. There are so many things we can call it.

I've been trying to come up with a good way to word this but I think there really isn't anything to do other than say it: I've had many AI nudes and sexually suggestive images generated of me and sent to me via burner emails. Started last year, kept going through today. This is where we are.

USians, I assume we are all blowing up the inboxes and voice mails of our congressional representatives today 5calls.org

Sept 1 1939: The Führer announces that Poland is a clear danger to the nation, and that "In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."

ah yes. let's wait until dems sweep house and senate in midterms so we can have two more years of crippling constitutional crises before trump cedes power peacefully

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

Horse.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

Today is January 3, 2026 36 years ago today the USA removed Noriega from Panama. January 3, 1990.

OMG 😭 Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure." LIFE SAVING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhEx...

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

It really is that bad. Grant funded science, supposedly a key piece of American exceptionalism, was already a huge headache. Now it’s looking nearly impossible.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes." This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize. Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

What's amazing to me is that these same guys are pushing desperately to end section 230, which specifically exists *so they do not get sued for what their users do* Like, these guys are actively begging to be sued into the fucking ground, you can tell by how much they spend to kill section 230

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

When a chatbot says it’s sorry it’s improv When a chatbot says it’s sorry it’s improv You can never change or guilt it Just go find the guys who built it When a chatbot says it’s sorry it’s improv

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc) #1: Reuters

Imagine if a journalist claimed it asked OpenAI for comment by typing their question into a ChatGPT box and copy-pasting whatever crap it spat out this isn't even just bad coverage of AI chatbots, it's giving special treatment to the least well run of all of them, for no discernible reason

FWIW several people on Twitter are contacting lawyers, representatives, and taking other courses of action. The problem is no major media or political official has taken up this call, and that problem starts with the close relationship the state has with Musk made evident by how no one challenged
