the bots and grifters: 😡

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.

Screenshot of an X post criticizing the appointment of an FDNY commissioner, accompanied by a photo of a uniformed male official holding up a badge next to a woman at a podium during a public event. The post claims a straight white woman previously held the role without being a firefighter.

And the LGBTQ+ pick has 31 years as a veteran of the FDNY. Sheesh.

morally, there is no difference between the people leaving heritage and those who are staying. They’re all fascists.

Galaxy Quest, like Iron Giant , Fury Road and Tremors, is one of those rare movies without flaws. It's not just good, but miraculous.

Epstein Files Include 1996 Child Porn Complaint That F.B.I. Ignored

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Makes perfect sense

i don't generally think it's nice to make fun of people's food but when the person in question is a hatemongering fascist i can make an exception

Not at all surprising.

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this?

A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

Crowd of volunteers poste for a photo with Shahana Hanif while holding up signs for the Stand Against ICE business canvass.

Volunteers get pastries! Some cookies visible!

Great turnout of volunteers and great vibes at the @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social #StandAgainstICE business canvass today.

And yes, there were snacks afterwards!

There's always something we can do to push back against fascism, friends. And it's often actually INSPIRING and FUN!

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

This is true. You can't have demagoguery and democracy. You can't protect hate speech.

Pedophilia: Public Opinion’s Final Boss - Truthdig If Donald Trump abused girls, it will be his first crime for which there is no law the Supreme Court can ignore or rewrite to make it okay.

Trump's problem with the Epstein story is that his immunity in public opinion has always had a partner, and that partner is AWOL. Pedophilia's the first story where no one will preemptively assume there's another side.

All major Las Vegas Strip casinos are now unionized in historic labor victory The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me

That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?

The rhetoric that goes "Ai will only get better in the future" ignores the very real impact Ai has on global warming.

It's like, dude, what future?

We all know the guy who did the Nazi salute owns and manipulates the site formerly called Twitter, and he's clearly reprogrammed Grok, his AI resource there, to spew antisemitism and anyone still active on Twitter--well you're even more in bed with antisemitism than before. bsky.app/profile/elio...

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”
