Hello! This is an important one, so it won’t be the last time I post it. The Land Defenders on Hunters Mountain are gearing up for winter. They are resolute. But they need supplies, they are winterizing the cabins they built, there is food and firewood and gas for generators needed.

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

Jesus fucking christ there are details in this that are so fucking unhinged it beggars belief. Like they have a picture of her suitcase the Israelis wrote whore Greta on and drew a dick next to the fucking Star of David

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

For those curious this is a negative 5900% gross margin

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

DOGE Developed Error-Prone AI Tool to “Munch” Veterans Affairs Contracts We obtained records showing how a Department of Government Efficiency staffer with no medical experience used artificial intelligence to identify which VA contracts to kill. “AI is absolutely the wron...

A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts.

For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

As the president of a national charity that works very, very hard to remain compliant with CRA rules, this kind of thing is enraging. It corrodes faith that Canadians have in the charitable system, that charitable numbers are given to organizations that are abiding by their charitable objects.

So ... he's an expert in profits? That's all this program is going to create.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

i believe raw meat cures everything and that it's a good idea to quit benzos cold turkey by going into a medically induced coma. why is everyone i love always sick and dying?

The feds just arrested one of the best journalists in Chicago for reporting on them

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

No one could’ve seen this coming

awesome that conservatives get to lie about being victims and generate enough death threats to shut down an entire store

another case of people reading a headline and either not reading or misreading an article. the actual reporting does not say anything like "all trans people are being classified as terrorists"

i understand why people are scared. i also feel like reading comprehension is at an all time low

has anyone else noticed this? i feel like I see it constantly, with all kinds of stories and articles these days. I'll see rhetoric spreading online about a new development and then read the actual source and it's nothing like how people are summarizing it online.

a tweet that reads "This was all in Project 2025, btw" and a reply from the head of the FCC that shows the Jack Nicholson nodding meme.

this is real, and yes that reply that is the head of the FCC

The details of the ICE raids in Chicago just straight up broke me. ICE blowing down doors and dragging people out in handcuffs under helicopter spotlights for PR stunts, breaking into terrified people's cars and tasing them in the face, straight up killing a father

The police will call you about photos you post to private chats. They will do this almost immediately, it seems www.kenklippenstein.com/p/charlie-ki...

America’s relationship with trans people was a totally different thing until the media industrial complex discovered it could make money by vilifying it. There was a Love Boat episode about a trans woman that was just like, 👍🏼. The Top 40 treated trans people with dignity.

God it sucks now.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

When I write in articles that these guys are “preparing for violence against their perceived enemies” with all their little ‘fight night’ events, this is why

Almost all of the initial reporting on ICE murdering Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez in cold blood was wrong because it was based on government propaganda, what seems to have actually happened is that he tried to flee the border Gestapo and they shot him

Carney stole his policy book. So Pierre Poilievre is going full anti-immigrant ⋆ The Breach With Mark Carney co-opting many of the Conservative’s marquee policies, Pierre Poilievre is sharpening his pitch by scapegoating immigrants

With Mark Carney moving rightward on policy, Pierre Poilievre has found a new way to distinguish himself: escalating his scapegoating of immigrants.

@desmondcole.bsky.social and Martin Lukacs argue that unless an anti-racist movement confronts these threats, Poilievre’s strategy may work.

Oh also as folks have pointed out the WSJs framing here is kinda sketchy. Robinson's family member accused Kirk of spreading hate. Tyler did not say that.

this is one of the things that's so hard to get across people. Politics does matter, but the environment these shooters are being radicalized in, and the ways in which communication takes place and information spreads in that kind of place, can't be ignored and crosses ideological boundaries

OPINION: Oil blocks our fire exit When it comes to NL’s economic/climate emergency, our collective road to safety is blocked by oil lobbyists and their government support.

"While other governments sue oil companies for climate damages, the NL government brings along an oil lobbyist like a Negotiator-in-Chief. This is inviting the fox into the henhouse."

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Hmm seems now certain it was Mossad.

the computer is good, continue being on the computer all the time.

ancient meme image: four panels depicting a large head saying "how many layers of irony are you on" to which a squiggly guy replies "like... maybe 5 or 6 right now. my dude." The large head replies "you are like a little baby," with eyes now glowing, "watch this." In the final panel the large head visually dominates the image in a psychedlic manner, with the word "SUCC"

"the shooter was a trans antifa left winger, I'm sure"

"the shooter was a right wing groyper accelerationist, I'm sure"
