This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal
I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed
The US government is trying to criminalize anarchism in the Prairieland case.
Several defendants are cooperating.
Do not give in to this fascist regime.
Keep paying attention, speaking out, and doing what's right.

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now
Honestly if you’re sending a robot to run terraform destroy, that damage is on you. Humans can’t even run that thing without disastrous consequences. That’s what you get for running with scissors
Chevron is Richmond’s largest employer—and its largest polluter. The primary local news site, the Richmond Standard, largely avoids covering local health issues or the impact of Chevron’s facilities on people’s well-being.
Perhaps because the site is owned by Chevron itself.
i love this new genre of post mortem that feels like it's about security breaches but is actually about people shooting them selves in the foot with AI
every time i see Linda Park in For All Mankind, I think "who is that, she looks SO familiar"
and so i go to IMDB and learn that she's Hoshi Sato, in Enterprise
this has happened like 4 times now
does anyone know what the pdf was
Kristi Noem misattributing a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling to George Orwell really does sum it all up huh
It's wild to think the xenofeminist manifesto is now over a decade old and some folks haven't encountered it?
There's a zine version folks made too: anarchotranshuman.org/post/1222154...
learning to make a nuke is easy: you major in nuclear physics and get a job at LANL
"the AIs can tell people how to make nuclear bombs once jailbroken" ok but so could any physics nerd, the hard part is all the precision manufacturing of high explosives required to actually do the hard part of it.
i get that people don't think about it but like, it's absurd.
what a way to lose a Senate seat
Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.
Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.
I don't think that the SAVE act includes anything about points 4 or 5? I think he's just throwing in some anti-trans stuff into his post for the fun of it?
“Perhaps more worrisome are studies that have found implicit racial bias within chatbots. Experts say the technology can skew educational outcomes by reflecting and amplifying historical inequities in data and design, raising concerns about fairness, access, and equity in K-12 classrooms”
The biggest private capital firm behind most of the AI hyperscale deals such as Meta's Hyperion and xAI's Colossus, is seemingly in financial distress as it shops its debt holdings at a discount. It's not looking good.

Rule number one of being incredibly lazy at work is that if you find a way to automate your tasks you never say that in a place your boss can see or hear which is why, even by their own terms, people that won't shut up about LLM coding are dumb as rocks. "Yeah, that was all me man" is what you say.
scarcity is rooted in a number of things which are rapidly ceasing to be scarce in meaningful ways
eg electricity and water
just did the math, and it turns out that my power bill is high enough, and solar panels are cheap enough, that I could power my entire apartment with solar built out from about two or three months of my power bill
Omar Yaghi's team at Berkeley has been working on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that have the potential to maaaaaybe convert atmospheric CO2 (and presumably atmospheric H2O) into methanol, which is a potentially huge development
Allagash Tripel Belgiant-style Ale is really delicious
there are some recent technological advances that make the @pluralistic@mamot.fr idea of walkaway seem like it's right over the horizon, which is kind of exciting
They had 500 billion they couldn’t spend the other day. They don’t need it.
Trump is lying.
I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.
There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.
Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power
i hope russia and china know enough to not permit their nuclear weapons to be used
just let the US exhaust itself into collapse, and you guys will have won
the secret ingredient to delicious maple cinnamon oatmeal is salt
