Samwise Gamgee: Mr. Frodo, let's fucking go

"A team of researchers at Stanford University found that frontier AI models readily generated 'detailed image descriptions and elaborate reasoning traces, including pathology-biased clinical findings, for images never provided.'"

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social. 70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge. 30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation. 7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Sorry to post this for those who abhor seeing this kind of news about wildlife. But while we are collectively agonizing over the state of our nation, the state of our planet is probably the more urgent news.

So this should be obvious to people but based on my past 48 hours of research it isn’t… if you’re writing about/teaching/analyzing a conflict within living memory, then you should TALK TO PEOPLE INVOLVED IN IT. For instance, curious about the Iranian Revolution? Talk to actual Iranians.

👏 Canada 👏 Post 👏 is 👏 a 👏 public 👏 service 👏 Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

The election of Avi Lewis rocked the establishment and I’m here for it

The Vatican is a hidden-role social deduction game:

HANK, 49 Twice divorced, twice widowed, and looking for fun. Are you a buxom seventeen-year-old and also first cousin to my late second wife and also willing to ignore that I am nearly thrice your age and also in my direct line of sight?

B.C. loves to say it has the cleanest natural gas in the world, but the truth is — well, more like the complete opposite of that. a real banger of an investigation at @thenarwhal.ca today by @writermjs.bsky.social & Wil Crisp. thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

A toddler nearly died at an ICE detention facility in Dilley, Texas. After more than a week in intensive care, she was sent back. Sarah Stillman reports. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

guess what, guys! You'll never guess what I just learned! This one tip may TOTALLY change the flow of your day! It turns out that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these [life/liberty/pursuit of happiness!] ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it!

“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.” Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir. www.ft.com/content/ff70...

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

This could be done everywhere. Solar panels and green roofs over car parks. Easy.

Buchanan Castle, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 So neat seeing nature reclaim it.

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

BREAKING: in March 2026, *every single one* of the 1,341 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans: In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 4,496 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Yes, human use is not the only use - and all uses are interdependent.

This is catastrophic.

This is real. This is a real thing. If you want to get dudes excited about reading, you should probably stop shaming them out of it when they’re kids, producing nothing for tween and teens with plot lines that might interest them, and then making reading out to be a silly thing only women do.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

extremely bad time for an astronaut to find out he's a werewolf

My corporate job has a policy where we have to send them proof that we're using the enterprise AI solution they've forced on us. I just sent in this as my proof for the week.

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)
