Respecting international sovereignty is quite the opposite of “appeasement .” What, you’re siding with all the brutal regimes we didn’t invade?

This image is a satirical internet meme featuring retro-style artwork of a white conservative Christian family looking upward toward a fiery sky, expressing a desire for the "Rapture." The top text proclaims, "WE BURNT IT ALL DOWN FOR YOU!" The bottom text pleads, "PLEASE RAPTURE US!"

Screenshot of an instagram post. There’s a photo of Alex Pretti standing outside in front of a sign. White cursive text reads Today should be your 38th birthday. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My lov for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken.

Today would have been Alex Pretti’s 38th birthday.

He was executed by ICE over a month ago. Shot ten times in the back after trying to assist a woman who had been pepper sprayed and shoved.

He was a helper and they killed him for it.

Justice for Alex Pretti.

Justice for all victims of ICE/CBP

No, that’s ambiguous reporting. “Now” refers to last year’s bombing.

He’s gone from fucking little girls to killing them.

I thought we were in an AI race with China. This should give them a good head start.

First thing I thought of.

If you want to fight fascism, wear a mask.

If you want to protect your community, wear a mask.

If you care about your long term health, wear a mask.

A well fitted N95 can protect against Covid, flu, RSV & more.

It’s much easier to resist when you’re healthy!

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

A Vaccine Skeptic for Surgeon General The menagerie at the Department of Health and Human Services keeps getting stranger. President Trump's nominee for Surgeon General, Casey Means, auditioned Wednesday for the role of vaccine skeptic at her Senate confirmation hearing. The Surgeon General is supposed to provide Americans with "the best scientific information available on how to improve their health and reduce their risk of illness and injury," according to the HHS website. Ms. Means, who founded a "wellness" business, doesn't seem qualified for that role. Asked about HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s discredited claims linking vaccines with autism, Ms. Means equivocated that "we do not know what, as a medical community, causes autism," and "we should not leave any stone un-turned." She's right that we don't know all of the causes of autism, but countless studies have ruled out vaccines. Why not say that? She also dodged when asked if she'd encourage parents to get their children vaccinated against measles. "I believe every patient, mother, parent needs to have a con-versation with their physician," she replied. How about a simple "yes"? Ms. Means said that "vaccines are not part of my core message." So what will be her message? Hard to tell, but she has made a career of promoting unproven and dangerous health remedies like raw milk and psychedelic drugs, which she has said she experimented with. The drug "psilocybin can be a doorway to a different reality that is free from the limiting beliefs of my ego, feelings, and personal history," she wrote in her 2024 book "Good Energy." What HHS needs are serious people who will tell the truth and can begin to restore confidence in public-health advice.

You should be able to answer these yourself, but I’ll help you start.

Aesthetic critique: nobody I know talks that fast, and the artwork is pure AI slop. If this is supposed to win over “hearts & minds,” it probably won’t.

He missed a category: those of us who simply want to think critically of “AI.”

Where was this thoughtful discussion posted? (Xitter? Bsky? Mastodon?)

I like the points Gebru and
Bender have previously articulated; that AI enthusiasts and doomers are opposite sides of the same hype coin, and that anthropomorphizing is an enormous barrier to understanding.

A few weeks ago, one of my best online writer friends (Richard Crim) died from an infection that that might've been "the flu, or Covid." I miss him, and when I see this, it reminds me that what I said a few months ago is true. These people don't care about us, at all.

There’s a lot of interesting feedback (IMO) in this thread:

Way to fucking embarrass your country in record time after making us proud… from heroes to zeros in less than 10 minutes.
Congrats or something.

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump The supreme court (will be using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack of respect!) of the United States accidentally and unwittingly gave me, as President of the United States, far more powers and strength than I had prior to their ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive ruling. For one thing, I can use Licenses to do absolutely "terrible" things to foreign countries, especially those countries that have been RIPPING US OFF for many decades, but incomprehensibly, according to the ruling, can't charge them a License fee - BUT ALL LICENSES CHARGE FEES, why can't the United States do so? You do a license to get a fee! The opinion doesn't explain that, but I know the answer! The court has also approved all other Tariffs, of which their are many, and they can all be used in a much more powerful and obnoxious way, with legal certainty, than the Tariffs as initially used. Our incompetent supreme court did a great job for the wrong people, and for that they should be ashamed of themselves (but not the Great Three!). The next thing you know they will rule in favor of China and others, who are making an absolute fortune on Birthright Citizenship, by saying the 14th Amendment was NOT written to take care of the "babies of slaves," which it was as proven by the EXACT TIMING of its construction, filing, and ratification, which perfectly coincided with the END OF THE CIVIL WAR. How much better can you do than that? But this supreme court will find a way to come to the wrong conclusion, one that again will make China, and various other Nations, happy and rich. Let our supreme court keep making decisions that are so bad and deleterious to the future of our Nation - I have a job to do. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
