Mid Century Monster

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

this is unspeakable

Researcher: Claude, please eat ten hamburgers.

Claude: Done! I have eaten ten hamburgers. The first two were delicious, but after that I began to experience bloating and the meat sweats.

Headline: Anthropic Says Claude has "A Fully Developed Digestive System"

Most of the talk about OpenAI, Anthropic and “mass surveillance” neglected to mention that widespread scraping of the web is in itself mass surveillance.

A constant refrain I’ve heard from Frey supporters during ~all this~ is “well what can he do!”

Here’s a layup for him. Hopefully those same people are willing to pick up the phone and let him know they support this.

This is Trump's "Golden Age" where YOU pay more and he lines his pockets.

He should literally be impeached just for this.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

To everyone who needs to hear it: Trans folks have been saying this is coming for years, now. Anti-trans actors weren’t shy about their goals. We know our history and we know the next steps in the authoritarian shuffle.

Please listen to trans folks.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY KRISTI NOEM!!!!

Literally any one of you reading this post would make a better president

It’s honestly kind of bold to assume the left is wrong about a war considering our almost perfect record of being proven right about wars

the first part of a subtitled video of a bird of paradise and David Attenborough. the subtitles begin: [Video of venerable TV naturalist David Attenborough standing amid vegetation. On a near-horizontal branch above his head is a brown and yellow greater bird of paradise, about the size of a crow, with big floaty yellow plumage puffing out along its back.] Bird: Pwuk. Pwuk.

All it takes to debunk the theory that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries is to talk to literally any trans person who has tried to get gender-affirming care of ANY kind. It's extremely difficult.

elianna of southwest alliance for equity describes politcians who want to alleviate suffering, who want to cause suffering, and those who are indifferent. says some minneapolis city council members may be latter, not doing enough to help, urges them to talk to colleagues & constituents who do more

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Digital painting of a princess frog. bouncy pink dress, bronze-ish crown, graceful green human-shaped hands, big green frog head.

The world grows darker and I’m behind on everything, but this painting came to life under my hands yesterday and I’m glad to have spent a little time with it.

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

It’s day 90 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

ICE is still here, terrorizing communities.

Today at the Whipple building, HCSO deputies violently assaulted and arrested protesters.

Meanwhile, Minnesotans are raising money and paying rent for thousands of our neighbors.

This is disgusting. There’s no accountability in the Sheriff’s Department.

This will continue to happen if Sheriff Witt runs unopposed. It will send a message that this is totally okay when it’s not.
