What did he know?

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Be sure to read the whole thing.

a lot of “i refuse to know what a clavicular is” posts from parents on here - sorry but i truly believe it’s in your best interest, unfortunately, to keep up with the online culture shaping the world you brought your children into

The Scandalous Lies Used To Accuse Hasan Piker of Antisemitism: An Investigation How organizations and leaders laundered clips from an Islamophobic propagandist, deliberately distorted Piker's words, and erased context to manufacture a case against him.

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him.

Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

This slaps

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

This whiplash where the president terrifies the world for a few days with unhinged threats and then says “never mind” and then there’s this implication that anyone scared of his unhinged threats was overreacting is very domestic abuse but make it a country.

f/8 and be there

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

As a bartender I approve this message. This whole thing was dumb Nevada vote-buying and it stinks. Why should I get a tax break while the dishwasher doesn't, to say nothing of teachers, healthcare workers, sanitation workers etc etc

people understand that this is intended to target EVs, right? It gets rid of the gas tax, which only affects internal combustion vehicles, and replaces it with one that disproportionately hits EVs, which are much, much heavier for a given body size. That is why GM and Toyota are promoting it.

“military aged males” got normalized as a viable target for war and it’s pretty much a racialized fiction meant to justify indiscriminate murder.

this remains my take on the Mastodon user experience

I’m glad it exists and that it works for some people: it is not for me

For years I've been looking for the right guest to do a pod on this. The car-sales model that is dictated by law in the US -- you must go to a dealership & suffer for hours in order to buy one -- is one of the most nakedly anti-social special interest giveaways in history. Needs to be killed dead.

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact

we should just revoke the refugee status and deport all the boers

I do think it is noteworthy that the first two cabinet-level firings were both 1) women 2) doing everything possible to do what he wanted. I mean, Trump’s a misogynist, news at 11, but still.
