This banger (one of many) by my friend @madelinksi.bsky.social popped up in my shuffle tonight and I just had to share - music.youtube.com/watch?v=lssA...

The US revoked visas for British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan after they chanted “death to the IDF” against the Israeli military at the Glastonbury Festival. The band was due to begin a US tour in October.

On Monday, June 30, 2025, Israel murdered a filmmaker/director/photojournalist (Ismail Abu Hatab), a boxer (Malak Mesleh), and a visual artist (Frans “Amina” al-Salmi).

Y'all when I tell you that this current paradigm of "AI" being shoved down our throats does real, persistent harm, and that said harm will fall first on the most marginalized and then on everyone else, this is the shit I mean. I mean god DAMN.

Speaking from the cusp of the vaccination generation, Please vaccinate your children! My earliest memory is the terrible pain of coughing up my lungs and not getting air, while my mama cried and held me. Pertussis. Having measles was torture. High fever, swollen itchy skin, thirst. Vaccinate.

If you have JD Vance meme on your phone you might be stopped at the US border, held in a cell, strip-searched and sent home www.dublinlive.ie/news/world-n...

I'm gutted and furious that the Iranian people will be injured, harmed and killed as a result of this absolutely depraved act of violence. What a complete travesty on every single level.

every single member of Congress should be pushing for Trump’s impeachment. and every single Democrat who isn’t calling for impeachment should be primaried

I'm begging folks to not compliment themselves too much on their "non-violent" marches & rallies. Instead, try to understand that violence at protests is generally a result of law enforcement escalation. Then, the galaxy brain move is to ask yourself "which protests do police tend to attack?"

RT if you love boobs or if you think ICE should be abolished

Ah yes, as guaranteed in the First Amendment, Americans may enjoy free speech as long as it’s in sync with what the administration is trying to accomplish

The emergence of a new #COVID variant is raising concerns among experts as we approach the summer months. Dr. Marlene Wolfe, WastewaterSCAN principal investigator, spoke with Caroline Kee about the importance of #wastewater monitoring for COVID and the insights provided by current #data.

“People haven’t had any food in since the 2nd of March. They are malnourished. The children are particularly taking the brunt of this. It’s the worst it’s ever been.”

this is in a couple days and has a fantastic line up + me! also I trimmed my beard to get more in character for an Ellis Island simulation event at my kid's school, so come for the funny mustache, stay for the poems!

Some days I can't get help but get lost in the gap between the world that's possible for us and the world that we have

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

Just six years after his Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered, at MBS’s direction, Jeff Bezos is going into business—and, thus, helping to enrich—the man who orchestrated it. My latest for @status.news www.status.news/p/jeff-bezos...

A bunch of us school librarians have been begging for years to teach digital literacy skills to kids and been denied. We're yelling louder with AI and still being denied. So guess what happens?

i wish we could scrape chatgpt's gen ai and its counterparts from existence, my good god

One thing I saw repeatedly in last night's AI thread is that a lot of people--seemingly young people??--believe teachers and professors are tasked with making students *better people* and therefor if their students are using AI it's the professor's failure/thing to fix. This has no basis in reality.

can u guess what DWBYF means

It’s crazy that so many christians are cool with picking a guy to be the pope, immediately changing his name to something they will only refer to him as from here on out, but can’t wrap their heads around a change of pronouns.

been writing songs like it is my BIZNESS

i love songwriting

TIL that the "two wolves inside you" meme is racist bullshit from a white evangelical. This is why we can't have nice things 😢

Kids dying of measles is now going the route of kids dying in school shootings. Normalization of preventable deaths because…American Exceptionalism.

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

In case this comment is lost on anyone, an Gorta Mór – the Great Famine – of 1845-52 ultimately cut Ireland's population in half. It was overtly provoked by overreliance on the potato, but the fundamental cause was rule by a foreign power: England.

Fairly undeniable at this point that abolish ICE was always the only reasonable position

Would really love some of that good old fashioned immediate wide scale structural change for the better where everybody's needs are met and everyone can meaningfully thrive without fear of bigotry or threats to our lives. Sure would hit the fucking spot.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

The Vagina Museum is an extremely cool project. Don't let it go under.

Forget 'intelligence' and 'creativity', and let's not even get into 'consciousness'. These models are powerful tools and it matters who controls them and what they're used for

This isn't the canary in the coal mine, it's a mine shaft full of dead miners.

shit be stainin, i tell ya

The disappeared Columbia student is the start of a surveillance nightmare l The Verge www.theverge.com/policy/62718...

This is straight up not how measles works. This isn't a political disagreement. This is false facts, and will get people killed. It already is.

Hold the damn line on this, authors. I have dozens of books I can't turn into audio right now because I can't afford to pay a narrator, but I WILL NOT use AI to circumvent them. We all stand together or we all get cooked.

Tracy was paralyzed last month by a surgeon whose error almost killed her. She’s trying to raise under $1K for a vehicle that can handle a wheelchair and hand controls please share

y'all are booing, but she's right.
