To stay in a movement that requires you to deny your own agency and humanity is crazy-making, which is why so many MAGA women (Nancy Mace, Lauren Boehbert, MTG) are visibly self-destructive. It’s not sustainable.

Iranian school was on U.S. target list, may have been mistaken as military site The strike on an Iranian elementary school killed at least 175, many of them children, raising questions as to whether the military’s use of AI-enabled targeting was a factor.

All this talk of advanced AI targeting and the U.S. still fired a Tomahawk at an elementary school where an outdoor playground has been visible on Google Maps since 2017 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.

This looks like something out of a medieval Russian folktale about a witch whose identity can only be revealed by the fit of her shoes.

I voted for him AND I text-banked for him. Motherfucker inherited a surplus from a wealth tax just like the one he’s campaigning against now while simultaneously staging photo ops sweeping homeless encampments. Fuck that guy.

It’s Do Not Freak The Fuck Out Friday. It’s where you don’t freak the fuck out on a Friday because the US president is the antichrist and roughly one third of the country are devil worshippers who wish to reestablish chattel slavery after turning the middle east into a parking lot for Israel.

Yesterday I observed 15 shackled detainees being loaded on the ICE Air flight at MSP. In this clip, as the last one hobbles on, staff put away a full-body WRAP restraint, which had been laid out next to the airstairs.

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

Oh are we taking Mr. “Dem women look like men” seriously now? Are we pretending Mr. “The Dems should let men be men and women be hot” isn’t a douchey frat bro in a suit and tie?

I assume this war could have been avoided if Iran just agreed to build a Trump Tower Tehran AND somehow bury the fact Trump trafficked & abused girls.

Jfc do the democrats need a fucking consultant to tell them that it’s okay to not giving a standing ovation for the US Men’s Hockey team that literally everyone hates?

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

People born in the 2000s will never understand a nation once so innocent that an ice skater kneecapping another ice skater sent us into an existential crisis.

Alright. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Octavia Butler wrote “Bloodchild” after seeing the chestburster scene in Alien and realizing it would be better as a love story. This is my hill to die on. Put it on my gravestone.

Every morning George wakes up and does his chores: eats breakfast, goes outside to bark at steam rising off the grass, comes back inside to take his meds and get his treat. Chores complete, he goes back to sleep, satisfied with a job well done.

“Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who is presiding over the trial, ordered anyone in the courtroom wearing AI glasses to immediately remove them, noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned.”

sex workers have been warning you about this for YEARS!
