once again asking democrats to get out ahead of an issue which will prove to be monumentally unpopular in a month or two instead of waffling while they wait for poll data

Heal Minds Gaza: empowering Palestinian children who were in detention Palestinian children in Israeli occupation prisons face severe psychological violence that deeply impacts their sense of safety, identity, and community after their detention. The Heal Minds Gaza…

Hoping prison abolitionists will bite and share this one: research-informed, Palestinian-led mental health support for nearly a hundred kids who suffered in occupation detention.

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

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

What we know about the strike on a school in Iran as the death toll rises Iranian authorities said at least 168 people, many of them children, were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

Just read this article on the US & Israeli strikes on a school in Minab, Iran.

- At least 168 killed, including many girls aged 7-12.
- The school was bombed THREE times, not once.
- There were claims this was on an IRGC military base, but the base was closed 15 years ago.

This is a war crime.

This is going to be so good!

Rep Lieu (D-CA) with a zinger‼️In America we have a cost of living crisis because of the #TrumpAffordabilityMeltdown At the SOTU he mocked working class Americans about how much everything costs. Unless you’re part of the Epstein class everything costs more. Nailed it💥🔥💥

Letter to the editor about the dangers of gen AI. (Bluesky says it's too long for alt text)

Well now I’m making my town’s usage of AI slop images, and the library holding a session on how to use a technology that has stolen all my books, everyone’s problem. This will be in print in The Retrospect tomorrow (and I’ll post photos then too).

Bad Bunny in a field Light poles behind him

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El Apagón it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Like many of us, Jesse Plemons also loves his work in “Game Night” and is open to more.

“I’d do a ‘Game Night’ sequel in a heartbeat,” Plemons says with a visible grin, calling the 2018 comedy “pure fun.”
