Trump is spending tens of billions in my name to break my gas budget while taxing me illegally as well as raising my health insurance premium so high that I can’t afford it.

The core issue with capitalism is that it teaches people it is better to exploit and expand a problem for money than to fix it.
You know… saying ‘AI stands for anti-intellectualism’ may have some heat to it.
"The footage appears to contradict US President Donald Trump’s claim that it was an Iranian missile that hit the school on Feb. 28." - @bellingcat.com
Yeah, for me, LLMs (1) do not experience pain and (2) their behavior is 100% reactive to outside stimuli.
If we're doing the whole "consciousness" thing, LLMs are not even close to animals, they're more in line with amoebas. It's a thing that reacts. It has no inner life at all.
oh my GOD
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
We're goin' out tonight
Feelin' alright,
Gonna saw it all dowowowown
Gonna make some noise
Really hack some boys
Yeah they're gonna scream and shouowowt
I just think like. Has Disney considered just rereleasing the original movie in the theaters, because that would be basically free and I also still need something to do with my kids every weekend.
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
I know the popular stance is to believe these are coddled, spoiled men who want to return to being pampered by Mommy, but I actually think they had shitty alienated childhoods (because colonialism destroys connection) and genuinely yearn for care and affection they never got

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.
so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm
The Washington Post Breaking News Post Exclusive 27 minutes ago Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments The effort to bring charges against Cuban officials coincides with President Donald Trump saying that his administration is eyeing Cuba as the next country whose government might be overthrown, following the capture of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro in early January and the killing of Iran's supreme leader on Saturday.
A regime that values domestic and international violence above the rule of law is unsustainable.
If you read the bill, it attaches liability to the chatbot answer ONLY IF the same answer would attach liability to the person making the same statement.
Complicated new issue but seems AI companies want Section 230 type immunity. I don’t think that’s where the public (and juries) are, at all.
I think this is accurate, because everything about the language and escalations point to it
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.
And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.
A Congressman not only assaulting a protester, but breaking their arm, should result in their immediate removal.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
Prosecute Noem. Don’t forget about her.
AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
Who controls archives and whose allowed to speak on them has always shaped violence
ALWAYS
AI is an ARCHIVAL project of lack of consent
So, we used ’ai’ to perform this stupidity, it seems
By the same argument quit Facebook, Insta, WhatsApp and Amazon... Which is no bad idea. (tks @davidveevers.bsky.social)
