Sexual misconduct by lawmakers is widespread — but often goes unreported New data from the nonprofit National Women’s Defense League, shared first with The 19th, comes on the heels of the resignations of two members of Congress.

Exclusive: new research from the National Women’s Defense League and shared first with The 19th, has tracked 30 allegations of workplace sexual misconduct against members of Congress made since 2006 — a number the report’s authors say is likely 3-4x higher in reality 19thnews.org/2026/04/sexu...

Elite law firm Sullivan & Cromwell admits to AI ‘hallucinations’ Firm whose partners bill more than $2,000 per hour apologises to judge for software-driven errors in bankruptcy case

The future is embarrassing www.ft.com/content/657d...

Converging factors: wars, lack of fertilizers, AI energy-gobbler, climate chaos with floods and heatwaves destroying soils and crops, hyperinflation, disease, and impoverishment of the population at large because of political corruption and corporate takeover.

Refined fuel for airlines' planes.
Mass-tourists are going to find out the hard way how bad the criminal attack on Iran by US/Israel is when they got stranded abroad.
Also, lack of fertilizers will drive food prices up and up.

The tone policing is unreal.

If you're not furious that millions of people are dead and yet healthcare systems are STILL refusing to implement basic, common sense precautions like masks and cleaning the air then idk what to tell you.

Droplet-dogmatists are perplexed when you explain to them that droplets are also airborne, by default. They are entangled in a fallacy, and they can't figure it out.
If you tell them that droplets get tinier, so you get aerosols, that's when they just can't understand the very basics.

Uptalk is like someone getting over-excited when talking, and it demands a lot of brain energy from the listener, because it adds the burden to have to distinguish a statement from a question all the time.

Uptalk is irksome, irritating and very tiresome to a listener. More so when it's the reader of an audiobook.

To avoid doing it is this easy:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Palantir Critique Draws ‘AI Killer Robots’ Warning From Varoufakis - Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) "AI-powered killer robots are coming," Varoufakis says, criticizing Palantir's defense push and warning of risks tied to AI-driven warfare.

I never thought we'd exist in a reality where the dystopian future forecast by the Terminator movies would seem quaint. They just had to deal with Cyberdyne, while we have dozens of corporations that are trying to build terminators.

Even the brain is affected and not detecting its own damage. Sars2 is doing harm in the cells, way beyond the acute phase.

They have brain damage from repeated COVID infections. Universities can do many things about the indoor air quality that will reduce the number of infections they get, but as long as they keep getting COVID, they're going to get worse.

This summer in the north hemisphere is gonna be the hottest summer ever so far.

AI is in corporations' hands to control and manipulate, orders of magnitude much higher than any time before. The endgame is panopticon surveillance.

Map showing the western United States mean temperature for January to March 2026 relative to a 1991-2020 departure.

Almost the entire Western United States is averaging more than 5°F warmer than the most recent 1991-2020 climate baseline so far in 2026, which is truly remarkable. Off the color scale here!

I've become a luddite. I've seen enough during my life on this planet. AI is the straw that's breaking the camel's back. The robots will be the secret agencies' operatives run by corporations.

Soon there won't be need of humans to play soccer, what makes it redundant. I can't help but laugh at the idea, but deep down it's the certainty that humans are digging their own graves what makes it all so sinister.

Humanoid robots show rapid advances as they race past humans in Beijing half marathon Dozens of Chinese-made humanoid robots showed off their fast-improving athleticism as they whizzed past human runners in Beijing

I find this creepy, bc they will be made as soldiers with weapons.
The toxic absurdity is imposed bc people are swallowing the AI and robot crap hook, line and sinker, enthusiastically applauding at the f----g humanoids.

The elites are draining humanity.

You can't be lawful and play by the rules when the people you're fighting against control the system and dictate what you're allowed to do.

We're at the point where those in power are trying to make the very existence of certain communities and organizations illegal and you expect us to just obey?

It's so weird. Where do they find in that abomination any charisma?

If by April we already have temps in Spain around 91F (33C), what we'll have in July-August-Sept? This coming summer might be an extreme heatwave all along.

The conflict in the Middle East is disrupting more than oil markets—it is threatening the global food supply. WCK founder José Andrés spoke with The Guardian on the potential collapse of global fertilizer trade and the impact on food access. (1/2)

AI is theft. It's anti-Black. It's ableist. It's a wealth transfer from the poor and marginalized to the wealthiest corporations on earth. It destroys water tables and accelerates climate change.

So do I.

Well, so it was AI crap again.
I wonder what will happen when they push the shitty AI into essential infrastructure, like water treatment, traffic management, hospitals...

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Oh no, the AI crap is gonna bring us so many pains...
