The Trump administration took your money illegally.
They won’t give it back.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
One of the main reasons I don't use AI is that you have to fact-check every single thing it gives you and by the time I do that, I could have just done the research myself.
For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!
The government illegally took your money.
They won’t give it back.
🎧 Full episode of B*tch, Listen with Judy Reyes is up.
Voiding documents that make it legal for people to move through the world normally—especially but not exclusively when you give them no practical opportunity to get new ones even if they wanted to—is (still) not about bathrooms or sports. It’s about erasure.
The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism
So there's a black girl scout troop trying to raise money to to to Europe but they aren't close to their goal as of yet. Please share this and buy some cookies if you can

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.
mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.
But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.
Helloooooo!!!

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children
Taekwondoin Tina Sugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID— why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica and @publichealthaction.bsky.social. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”
One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week
LIKE 40 HITS 😭
A lot of Voters did not believe Trump would do all the bad stuff he promised he was going to because he didn’t do it the first time. Well, he’s doing it this time.
This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.
elections have (immediate) consequences.
I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him"
WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW TERRIBLE HE IS NOW SO IT'S *NOT* A CHOICE BTW HIM & A NAZI, CARL. THAT'S THE POINT.
Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.
Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

When Trump’s dead, and if we emerge from whatever white nationalist regime follows him and return to some normality, the media and commentariat are going to do everything in their power to normalize what happened and make it into simple policy differences suitable for “my two guests are.”

IG account "life with lainee" showing bottle of Clorox hydrogen peroxide with caption 'wipes that kill rotavirus, RSV, Covid, flu A/B and More'
Fact check: The flu, RSV and COVID are spread primarily through the air. Ventilation, masking and staying home when sick matter much more than Clorox wipes.
It seems hopeless when we have Insta 'health influencers' with 1M+ followers spreading droplet dogma
Discord is trying to add new AI features to their platform. They're asking people to fill out a survey on how they feel about AI and what "value" it would add to their platform. Please take a few minutes to fill it out and tell them to fuck off with AI.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

If you call now, you'll get an answering machine and you can leave a message. A great thing to do if you're nervous about talking to someone. Just give your name, your zip code, and demand they impeach Trump for illegally invading Venezuela.
