A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

Deaf and Deaf-adjacent folks, I need some help.

I have a student who needs to hire a writing coach that specialises in helping folks who are primarily ASL speakers write in English. Where do I look to find one who is able to assist with dissertation-level academic writing? Does anyone know someone?

y'know what? in this economy?

Nevermind.

Listen. It's a mess everywhere, and all we've got is each other, so - anytime, friend. Truly.

Gut party leadership immediately, they do not win elections and they don't want to.

I realize this means it is unlikely, but: anything I can do to send you a little light?

Okay, Virginia. Let's do this.

(cc: NY, NJ, PA, et al)

Pennsylvania is a state that has really diverse & high stakes, up and down the ballot tomorrow.

—control of state supreme court
—lower state court races
—Philly DA: Krasner's reelect
—important, heated school boards
—partisan battles for county execs in swing counties
—Bucks County at a crossroads

LFG!!

someone in our neighborhood uses a leaf blower every. single. morning. starting around 7am. Not just weekends; every day.

My spouse may snap some day; it's pretty maddening.

Hey PA residents: Go vote! Vote YES to retain the state supreme court judges. They're one of the last things keeping democracy going in PA, and if PA falls the Dems' chances to disrupt GOP power in 2026 and 2028 fade pretty hard.

If you don't remember the Bush / Cheney years, don't think of him as Bush's JD Vance. He was Bush's Stephen Miller.

And I guess I have a second ask, which is: consider the well-being of the most vulnerable people in your communities as you do that.

If you haven't voted, and you have an election today, GO VOTE NOW.

NYC. We love you.

I know (particularly as someone born in D.C.) that it's exhausting watching people not from/not living in/who don't know a thing about your city opining (nearly always incorrectly) about your city.

You know what you need, and you know how to go get it.

We're with you. LFG.

What that gross excuse of a federal office holder needs to understand is that RACISM weakens everything - destroys everything, in fact.

UNION. YES., and UNION means to be UNITED.

F off w/ your desperate need to divide us - you're not the only one who knows you're cooked when the rest of us unite

NYC, please give Cuomo no mercy and Mamdani all the mandate. Run this race full speed through the ribbon.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

yes I went and looked it up - they want alllllll the personal particulars and I am not doing all that. I did message them to request they post the same alerts here and on IG/threads that are posted via that service and on the hell site.

screenshot of search result for Popular Mechanics website article, the lede for which reads: This Is How Much it Actually Costs to Fly U.S. Military Aircraft Nov 16, 2022 - The Air Force's fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcon multi-role fighters cost $26,927 an hour, largely for the same reasons as the A-10.

I’ll just drop this little thing here for no reason at all (disclaimer: I don’t know what KIND of jets those were and don’t care enough to look it up; the ballpark is sufficient unto the day.)

at LEAST. Just launching ONE would.

Well. Folks are gonna starve, but at least some fighter pilots got to scare the shit out of the city for a few minutes! I'm sure that joyride was cheap.

"Planned military flyover of the mall", says @chrisgeidner.bsky.social by source Popville.

um.

okaaaaay. hashtag thisisfine.

Oh, hi.

PHEW ok so not just us in my building, then, after all.

WHAT EVEN.

Multiple coworkers saw/counted the planes out their windows and we're literally two blocks from upper Senate park soooooo yeah. They've been by twice since the first round, and Dude's not even HERE. I don't understand.

Hello? Have I finally finished losing my mind? Nobody's got anything on this?

AGAIN.

Y'all.

and when I say right over I mean RIGHT. OVER. y'know. in heavily restricted airspace.
