popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs

The US government claiming they will build a nuclear reactor on the moon is the same story as a journalist interviewing the digitally necromancied facsimile of a mass shooting victim

And an AI avatar of me gives an "interview" I will haunt everyone involved, the journalist most of all.

Glad my husband, siblings and niblings all know that if they elected to write an AI obituary for me I would haunt them until the end of time.

Will data centers crash the economy? This time let's think about a financial crisis before it happens.

Interesting.

We are in another giant tech hype cycle with AI — where people are throwing ungodly sums of money at something they don't understand, making promises they cannot keep — without thinking of the fundamentals.

All the ingredients of another crash.

I'm vetting a list of non-profits for work and thought a mission statement was vaguely right-wing coded. Scrolled down and sure enough, Chris Rufo is one of their most recent prize recipients.

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

When the gorgeous cool breeze that has descended after a stretch of heat and humidity has also brought an AQI of 200.

A better world is possible.

Meanwhile, in my American city, two random people were killed in the past few weeks during police chases alone.

Motherfucking wind farms…

A 2022 NIH study did find that donating blood does reduce PFAS levels. That's free and helpful to society!

LeGuin wrote about the desire for 'unassailable safety' as one of the deep roots of evil, and I think about that a lot.

We are already so behind in addressing the climate crisis and this administration is doing its best to sabotage whatever meager progress we've made. What a disaster.

Here he is talking about this (and the Israelis confiscation of baby formula from doctors) on Good Morning Britain.

When a population is starving, food alone is not enough to prevent mass death. This is a medical emergency requiring mass influx of medical professionals, supplies, and rapid construction of field hospitals. But Israel keeps bombing hospitals and murdering doctors while deliberately starving Gaza.

everyone in America should be able to see this film because it's excellent and more important, in honor of the human beings being murdered for having the courage to document their own lives to expand our understanding.

No Other Land still has not found an American distributor, despite its having won the Oscar months ago and its subject matter being incredibly urgent.

This is the same amount as the entire National Science Foundation's R&D spending for the entire field of *engineering* for the whole country. All of it.

"The Zaynab Project is a women-led, 100% volunteer-run nonprofit operating directly from within Gaza. We are part of the very communities we serve. No middlemen, no marketing costs, no admin fees — just local teams delivering urgent relief to those most in need."

Anecdotal data point: I'm driving through rural northern Wisconsin, it's hot as fuck, and I just passed a "release the files" overpass demonstration.

There was a good stretch where I wasn't hearing about Chatterton and I would love to go back to that. Retournez-vous en France TCW.

The kids are alright

My heart is full because all my niblings are on team anti-AI. "I want to be a researcher, and I felt myself losing the ability to think for myself, so I stopped using it." 💓

Remember when I was talking about the fact that once fascist secret police are disappearing people they will not stop only expand their actions?

This is a clear example of that. The executive order is the construction of a system to remove those seen as a drag on society to camps.

I know there have been a lot of five alarm fires but uuuuhhh this is really bad.

Husband and I have been watching Moonlighting and so far it's been silly and fun and I want many of Cybill Shepard's outfits.

Oh no, someone replied all to a job posting on the listserv 😳

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face. -Andre the Giant
