Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Absolutely not ok,wtf

No thank you

China Is Beating the US in the Battle for Energy Export Dominance China’s exports of clean energy technology hit a record in August, with $20 billion shipped globally.

Oh:
- The US sold $80 billion in oil and gas abroad through July.
- China exported $120 billion in green technology over the same period.

As Courtney says in thread, we should not go looking to "shoot first" Ever. That doesn't mean utter capitulation. Just *be prepared* for what's likely to come next & how we build even more solidarity & networks of care & resistance in the face of that violence, not let it divide us.

This part. The only people instigating violence are Trump/Miller's feds & federalized agents. Regular folks are going to protect themselves & others, and if/when self-defense leads to consequences feds don't like, they're very ready to use as that as pretense for bigger violence. Same as ever.

Stretch. Stretch some more. Stretch again

The only correct reaction to this detail about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce 🤣

Run free and get yours, Nicole!

Greta has more backbone and moral clarity than just about any so-called world leader

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

Tilly Norwood is a gen AI psyop The point is to normalize generative AI in your mind.

“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Sort of amazing that Weiss doesn’t understand that she’s in a no-win position. MAGA will get mad about something and she will be blamed and the whole effort won’t have helped CBS anyway.

This is how you deal with fascists! Big solidarity, no quarter given, and you'll note no one actual "beat" his ass, just chased him out and made it crystal clear that shit wouldn't fly. 🤘🏻

This is essentially "Let me speak to your manager" for angry trad caths - which, um, pretty sure that's called praying 🤣

A Grim New Report Shows How Pregnant People Have Been Policed Post-Roe New research documents the myriad ways pregnancy outcomes have been criminalized in the post-Roe legal environment.

It's I suppose on balance good that the Pope is scolding American Catholics on how being anti-immigrant & pro-death penalty is not pro-life, but criminalizing abortion is anti-life and it's insane that it got labeled the "pro-life" position, a full reactionary PR coup newrepublic.com/article/2011...

And mansplaining the Bible to him, no less! Just incredible work.

I'd argue that this level of racism is absolutely a kind of insanity. But yeah, oooof. 😑

A good one. RIP.

"If they don’t promise to hold fascists accountable, they are essentially promising not to hold anyone accountable. By avoiding the question of how they will wield power, by refusing to draw a line, Democrats are saying they do not want to wield power, and that they have no lines."

Court Rules in AAUP v Rubio: Trump Admin Violated First Amendment The AAUP and partners sued to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members for ideological reasons.

Some good news:

“In a landmark ruling, a federal court today ruled that the Trump administration’s policy of arresting, detaining, and deporting noncitizen students and faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the First Amendment.”

Absolutely infuriating.

Not an @theonion.com headline and still perfect/terrible, right down to this guy's outfit

Reminder that support for war crimes on TV was Hegseth's only qualification for the job; it's the only reason Trump knew he existed.

Secretary of War Crimes is the job he was auditioning for during his career as a drunken talking head on Fox.
