itβs unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

On this yearβs long covid awareness day, I want more people to read and think about what the late Shafiqah Hudson said before it killed her. Because she was right, as usual, and also early, as usual. Perhaps too early for a lot of people to listen.
Reservation Dogs shares a really interesting world-building move with the movie Sinners:
Every myth is history, every magical tool works, every spiritual vision is real, every cryptid lives... except Christianity just sits there, getting in the way of real spiritual power in the world.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.
The risk factors of gambling addictionβand other problems that primarily affect menβare never just βtestosterone.β
This story is actually a cautionary tale about the social dynamics of patriarchy that encourage men to continue to engage in harmful behaviors.
We could have stopped the genocide in Gaza and the war in Iran if only weβd elected the candidate who promised unconditional support for Israel and called Iran our greatest enemy
The way to change is through this discomfort with recognizing what America is & always has been & even recognizing the ways you've been implicated in it by upholding it in your mind. It hurts, but less than a bee sting given the better world on the other side.
I know people donβt want to hear it, but this thread is really hard to argue with
βWhere did all the protestors go?β
Same guy when he sees protestors:
This man is not your friend.
Stop pretending he is.
Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.
(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piΓ±ata.
I really wanted to know more about Renee Good, killed by ICE in January. Fortunately, my editor allowed me to take some time to do a deep dive into who she was before she died. Read and listen to what I found out about her from her Colorado tribe here: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/r...
Mhhhhh

A lot of the discussion around the eviction crisis in Minnesota is focused on lost wages from families needing to shelter in place.
But another huge part of the problem is that ICE detention is expensive. ICE illegally abducts and detains people and makes them pay their way out.
We need reparations for ICE victims.
Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.
I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadnβt already happened
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Muskβs AI company.
When you build a machine to target people based on gender, race, or any other identity, it ends up targeting Jews too.
New deposition testimony shows a DOGE staffer flagged a Holocaust documentaryβabout Jewish women forced into slave labor by the Nazisβfor termination.
His reason is shocking.

I gotta tell you, long before the advent of AI, the expense of paying the writer was already, with very few exceptions, not a significant part of the cost equation. I think weβre just dealing with people who see the existence of humans as a problem to solve.

They also stole (and continue to steal) from the US Treasury like a busted piggy bank, and no one is keeping track of any of it
The fact that this was and is obviously true and no one in the media or Democratic leadership talks about it at all
I think a lot of Americans (especially in blue states) have a hard time conceiving of the degree of brainwashing that goes on in Christian nationalist households. Our press does us no favors by whitewashing/ignoring evangelicals.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
Iβm always trying to explain that the difference between me and a snob is that I go into everything desperately wanting to love it. Itβs just that Iβm usually disappointed. π
This whole thread.
The people pushing AI βartβ are telling us clearly that they despise humanity, creativity, and life itself.
In fact, they do not have the vaguest comprehension of those things, and they hate those of us that do.
AI is a narcissistic mirror of their own black hole.
The Iranian girlsβ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
It's just one story, one illustration of all the terrible things that have happened. It's been a week since the very great noise/drone artist Siavash Amini posted this, from where he lives Tehran. There has been no update since. It could be for any number of reasons. We just don't know.
Can confirm π―
