BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ... there's info on who to complain to to try to stop this at the end of the article, lets share this message and try our best to stop it.

The point is larger than that.
#LLMs are indifferent to not just Truth; But also indifferent to Lies!

I’ve been trying to land on a good explanation of why “hallucination” is a bad description of what LLMs do and I think “structurally indifferent to the truth” nails it on the head.

Yeah, no. No one is going to read all that behind the brief "abandon all hope" retort you started with. It says none of what your backpedaling claims it says. My point stands, that was a low-info doomer post: unhelpful & discouraging. Do better.

Harry Eccles @Heccles94 Musk sacked 80% of staff when he bought twitter Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with Al Microsoft are cutting 4.1% of jobs (9,100) to replace with Al Intel are cutting up to 25% of staff to replace with Al What's that about billionaires creating jobs?

Billionaires are parasites and should be taxed. They add little value to the economy 😏

The most effective counterstrike they could use on F47's regime w/pinpoint accuracy is to get ahold of the full unredacted Epstein files & leak them.
Read that in TBR today, & marveled at how satire sometimes provides the best answer. Could help Venezuela & targeted countries too. Someone tell 'em.

Which is not to lessen the abhorrence of misogyny at the source -- both must be eradicated.

Like the invasive Himalayan blackberry: so much work, but giving up only allows it to spread, thicken, and choke out nearly everything else native to the soil.

Also, it seems that we may disagree on the definition of "no hope". If you/Neitzsche meant something like "against the odds", "slim chance", etc. then that might make more sense. *No* hope means just that: zero, nada, zilch. Complete absence of hope could cross over more toward despair territory.

Okay, but what did you want to convey just based on your initial comment? You didn't max out on characters, so it stands to reason that you believed your meaning was adequately contained within just those words.

Doctors told my mom she was “stressed”

She was covered in bruises from intense itching. Had back pain and trouble breathing.

Turns out it was stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

She died at 48.

I’ve spent my whole life fighting for healthcare. Battling misogyny in medicine.

It’s exhausting. And wrong.

Internalized misogyny is almost more heartbreaking to encounter, once you see it. It feels like a betrayal from someone you'd assumed would be safer.

The roots are deep. That means we just have to come up with more effective ways to eradicate it, and apply consistently for as long as is necessary.

You're actually not wrong, though. Cult leaders, the most prolific serial killers, down to malignant manipulators/DV abusers: they all use charm to lure & groom their targets.

"Charm" is not so much an inborn character trait as it is a 🚩, a useful skill to bend others unsuspectingly to their will.

Never underestimate the violent damage a manipulative charmer/con man, especially with a legion of flying monkeys & devoted cultists to sow doubt, can wreak with a targeted smear campaign. It's in the DV abuser playbook. Patriarchy makes it scalable when "we all know that women (& children) lie"

The whole world needs about a 100 year moratorium on male leadership…

Maybe we wouldn’t blow almost $1T in 3 years building out an unsustainable chatbot.

PedoFührer wants a switch he can flip to cancel all elections. "Cancel" is his word & repetition is a tactic seeking to warp reality.
Instead, drag into daylight every hint of voter oppression, so localities can prep. SAVE act? End vote by mail? Station ICE/CBP thugs @polls? Protect voters' rights🦺

Currently trending on X.

Oh, doomer. You haven't been paying attention.

If you aren't offering an alternative method of resistance, this is just textbook capitulation in advance. People who know that resistance is the ONLY option, & that it takes many forms, view such statements as a cautionary tale for how defeat appears

Might be interesting once, for the cultural reference. I found it curious/odd, & am struggling to find words that'd explain why. Kinda like it's meant to be an old-timey relic, but from a culture that never really existed except perhaps in the mind of an interior designer going entirely by hearsay.

On the Media The Peabody Award-winning On the Media podcast is your guide to examining how the media sausage is made. Hosts Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger examine threats to free speech and government transparency, cast a skeptical eye on media coverage of the week’s big stories and unravel hidden political narratives in everything we read, watch and hear.

“Media capture,” is a phrase scholars have been using to describe the phenomena of public interests losing possession of the press to political and corporate players. @victorpickard.bsky.social on why the American system was set up to be snatched away from the start lnk.to/onthemedia/b...

Ha! So true, good yarn is not cheap! Also, people say that like it'd be a bad thing?

I saw your post while scrolling bsky, & watching a YouTube interview with Clara Mattei, Professor of Economics, on this program called Ways to Change the World.

Hm. Are we sure that Roberts isn't a bit of an evil thing himself?

I briefly skimmed a short bio of JR when it crossed my path. IIRC, it mentioned what I thought were some extreme RW aspirations that he's harbored for many decades, & Tdump provided him with the big break he wasn't sure would arrive

I loved McCall! Had some really fun times there back in the day

Ugh, why is that? When she yells publicly about how he's the greatest ever in US Hx, it's like she actually believes that. Can't for the life of me imagine what it's like inside of her head. Must be utterly 👽, not to mention terrifyingly unmoored & disorienting.

Has anyone attempted a PB deep dive?

So are the eastern ends of the blue states that butt up against Idaho. Well, I'm not sure about the Cracker Barrels - but the people, oof. So many magats.

That said, I know for a fact that there are some wonderful blue-dot people who live in that red state I left 20 yrs ago, especially in Boise.

Reminder that you're not a bad person if:

You have fun.
You set boundaries.
You need to take a break.
You don't talk about politics 24/7.
You take care of your mental health.

Anyone who tries to scold you for doing any of the above can piss all the way off.

Wow! Finding the right specialists can make all the difference. I've had poor luck w/ that - arrogant, big egos, etc. are dime-a-dozen. Add miscommunications&😩
I don't suppose your docs are in Pacific Northwest USA? I'd like to read their bios. I'll look up the specialties you mentioned, at least 👍🏻

Also, l'm sorry that you go thru that. It's beyond frustrating to inexplicably lose function & access to proven skills, with the added challenge of proactively attempting to manage what knocks us off-track.

It's devastating to go from highly energetic & productive to forced into a new normal 😖🤕

That makes sense. How are "non-pain" (what's the medical term? silent?) migraines Dx'd? I guess I should look it up somewhere.

I get migraines, & headaches of multiple types & etiologies. I've wondered if I also get the brain-fog+ migraines but the Sx could be from several other conditions I have🤷🏻‍♀️

That scares me, knowing those two are waiting in the wings to soft-pedal instead of facilitate swift & decisive due process on Tdump & every one of his slimy cabinet. They've not said a word about actions they'd take, have they? I don't know how anyone can trust them to do what needs to be done
