Chip Roy (R-TX) grew up in Northern Virginia. I’ve have lived in the US longer than he has been alive. I became a naturalized citizen before he entered 1st grade, but this MFer thinks he can strip me of my citizenship & deport me to a country I’ve never been to because he disagrees with my politics.

A black graphic with large abstract purple bubbles in the background. The white text says: WARNING: DO NOT RUN AI AGENTS ON ANY DEVICE USED TO ACCESS SIGNAL What is an AI Agent? Agentic AIs are programs that access all the data on your device to do autonomous tasks like manage email or make reservations. Examples include OpenClaw and Microsoft Recall. An AI agent is not a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude. Why not? AI Agents save everything that appears on your screen, including Signal messages. Storing encrypted or disappearing chats (potentially forever) violates community expectations of privacy & puts all your contacts at greater risk of surveillance. Is Signal still safe? This is a human error problem, not Signal's error. Signal remains the best tool out there for private messaging. What the absolute F#@K?! How can I stop this? Help keep each other safe by sharing this message to your Signal groups and contacts. Learn more + yell at Big AI over at AISnitches.com - Your friends at Fight for the Future
Warning: Do not run AI Agents on any device used to access Signal or other content that you want to keep safe + unsurveilled.
We made this graphic to be posted in your Signal groups to explain what the threat is. Share it widely if you can.

Hasan Piker is constantly being viciously smeared or abstracted out of his humanity. It's all tiring, unproductive, fake.
I visited him, to get below the sensation. We spoke about faith, body image, politics, his controversial comments, and so much more.
Inside the Heart and Mind of Hasan Piker:
the DOJ is working for the fascists now
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
I'm not one to laugh at anyone's pain during downtime, but if you are going to run around touting that a vastly-unpopular tool has helped your code while also acting like an entitled asshole, it cannot be a shocking surprise when users are quick to turn on you when things go bad.

A good way to leave a conversation is to bring up veganism

How to get away with a war crime: find yourself a lawyer. They don't have to be a good lawyer. They just technically needed to have passed the bar.
Have them do a writeup on how bombing a school is ok, actually. Pass that on to the people who press the button to launch the missile.
the right wing claim to value 'viewpoint diversity' is the biggest not-like-that of them all

Please try to make the alt text descriptive and helpful. It can be funny, but don't make a joke for the sake of the joke. Also please don't enter texts like "This is alt text" or "Image description" 6/7
Bluesky accessibility settings with "Require alt text before posting" toggle turned on.
People tend to forget to add alt text. To help with this Bluesky has a setting. Go to Settings > Accessibility, and turn on "Require alt text before posting." And you will never forget to add alt text again. 5/7
Example of a Bluesky post with alt text being added.
Adding alt text in a Bluesky post is pretty straightforward, just click/tap on the image and a popup opens with a text field where you can type the alt text. 4/7
If you're on a bad Internet connection, or if website you visit experiences overload or other issues (which happened here before) - images may not load, but alt-text always does, and post with images with alt text added are still usable. 3/7
First and foremost alt-text is an accessibility feature designed to help visually impaired people. But it is so much more. If you encounter an unfamiliar image - a still from movie you haven't see, an obscure fandom, a celebrity you're unfamiliar with - alt text can offer additional information 2/7
A brief thread on alt-text.
Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7
alt text is great, even when images are working
Friend: Let's get together! What's your calendar look like?

Yes the elderly should be included, my accidental omission…and I am in that group.
they hate. This is eugenics. It can also be called the death march of medical freedom.
harms others. In the end I think we can assume that the administration really doesn’t care if 25% or more of the US population would disappear. After all this would primarily be the poor, the minorities, immigrants and the sick…anyone that the right sees as a burden, or use the social programs
healthy. But the truth is that today in the US there is no health security. The interest in the collective health of the nation is being swept aside by the anti-science, anti-vaccine medical freedom movement, where everyone, including soldiers, can do what ever they please no matter how much it
flu vaccines, millions of soldiers in WW1 were stricken or died from the flu. Their movements also helped spread it around the world, just as international travel would today. One may think that it would be in the interests of national security to do all that is possible to keep troops
An emerging contageous virus, like a flu virus, will easily spread in the confines of a military base or a military operation…unless the troops are vaccinated. So the brilliant leaders of HHS and DOD decide to stop protecting the troops by no longer requiring flu vaccination. In 1918, before
Now is when alt text will really shine.
The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.
