This is awesome. It's also why I think the left can benefit from deepening their understanding of emerging tech, rather than rejecting it outright. Not necessarily for hacking purposes like this, but to both survive in the modern world and shape accountability and outcomes.

I mean...

It's sometimes shocking to see the synthetic, heartless hate/greed machine grinding on like this. You know its always happening, and you see bits and pieces throughout your day, but having all corners lined up and framed like this is, is somehow...scarier.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

I keep referring to my farts as noxious amnesia gas, a reference to The Critic which got lodged in my brain as a kid and has remained unshaken ever since.

Good ol' Deater78 is still cranking away on the Apple ][ port of Peasant's Quest and recently got the rains down in Peasantry working. Check out his vid here: youtu.be/DGcj_Xp9E70?...

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

What a shot

Since illegally abducting Maduro 10 hours ago, Trump has threatened to take action in: - Mexico - Colombia - Cuba It’s blatantly clear he wants to take over the whole region and isn’t gonna let laws get in the way.

One of the differences between the Trump administration and prior administrations is that the current administration doesn't even bother with the pretense of liberation and freedom for the people of Venezuela. There's no plan for "running Venezuela" beyond US companies taking their oil.

One thing people forget is that the US supports plenty of dictators right now, it has supported dictators in the past, and it has installed its own dictators in other countries through regime change operations. The US doesn't care that Maduro was a dictator or bad, they care he opposed them.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

There's no reforming our government out of this, not without radical reform on the level of overthrowing the government and having a constitutional convention. Fuck everyone who enables and supports imperialism, wars based on lies, and genocide-denial.

can't believe the guy whose entire political philosophy revolves around domination would turn out to be a hawk

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’s darkly humorous he can’t even muster the ability to give some lip service to democracy or allowing the Venezuelan people to choose their leader.

As an aside, I do think it’s worth noting that the current US admin illegally invaded another country and “arrested” (kidnapped) its president before it arrested anyone on the Epstein list.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

There's studies suggesting that AI usage is causing cognitive decline, even when it's not causing psychosis and encouraging its users to harm themselves and others, just regular old usage is damaging. Far from a "cognitive amplifier" like this slop peddler suggests, it's a cognitive atrophier.

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

Can’t believe the winner of both the Israel Peace Prize and FIFA Peace Prize has started 2026 with an oil war.

There is no difference between what Russia did with Ukraine and what we just did with Venezuela.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

I refuse to pay taxes to fund another fucking war.

truly infuriating. in a just world, countries would rally against the lawlessness of the united states.

Microsoft Tells Piggies To Stop Calling It AI Slop:

I don't think my suggestion of "Strap every AI CEO into a big centrifuge, spin it up, then toss in a brick" is an unreasonable one.

As billionaires' influence has grown, so too has skepticism. In a recent poll, 58% of respondents said billionaires' spending on campaigns is bad for the country. https://to.pbs.org/4jjPpgN

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

@maddox.xmission.com is doing some of the good work over on threads. Not sure why he didn't repost here but good for folks to know:

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

Comrade Steve is ringing in the new year and he has had enough.

there was more that I forgot to post

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

I just hope Mamdani can finally bring an end to New Yorkers’ disgusting and archaic habit of emptying their chamber pots out the window without a care for who might be walking below
