The token prediction machines cannot think, and if you keep using them, you won't be able to either.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

What's the most trivial reason you've bounced off of a game?

For me, it's Red Dead Redemption 2 and how slow Arthur moves in camp. It drives me up the wall and makes me not want to play the game.

"Leopard King, sir, when will you do something about these satanic felines eating peoples' faces!?"

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and ‘biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

Covid deniers gonna kill us all. Bhattacharya (Brownstone Institute) had a direct, aggressive role in US's high death rate and spread Covid disinfo to undermine trust. He wrote the eugenicist Great Barrington Declaration. He created the conditions he cites as reasons.

I'm gonna get canceled for this, but I just tried Kewpie mayo for the first time and it tastes like regular mayo that's been sitting under a heat lamp for several hours. (Imma still try it *in* something because regular mayo doesn't taste that great on its own, but I'm not hopeful).

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

I have a Stand with Minnesota volunteer opportunity for people who speak Spanish and want to help get folks home from detention. If you are interested, please DM me for details!

Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: baby monkeys in overalls jumping on a bed, having fun. Panel 2: one of the monkeys falls over the edge of the bed, reaching out as he falls. Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. “Monkey Stronger Together.”

It's actually good & cool for ostensibly apolitical spaces & voices to announce that they are against repression & for liberation! ✊✨

Anyone telling you otherwise, who "just wants to enjoy [X] without politics", is only doing so because either they don't mind the horrors or they're FOR them.

I contacted my state legislators about the idiotic "3D printers must block printing gun parts" bill, and got a response. I'm happy to say that the bill (HB 2321) has been dropped for this session. That doesn't mean it won't come back later, but for now it's not under consideration.

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

I’m up at 4pm pst if you wanna see me waddle into a cool thing and go “haha yall are neat ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ” like it’s my first day on earth

Twitter post from @rifflexielian: "Terfs need to shut up about womanhood, my mom was raised to believe all women were less valuable than men and cried when she learned about trans women because the idea that someone would fight that hard to be a woman was radical for her and meant it was something worth being

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.

Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

It will never cease to amaze me that some people unironically use "but if the truth comes out, bad people might face consequences for their horrific behaviour" as a reason to not let the truth be known.

Simple fact is this:

If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

Archive.today weaponizes visitors to participate in DDoS attack Webpage capture site Archive.today was caught weaponizing its visitors via a hidden script to launch a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a Finnish blogger.

A long, heartbreaking thread, so I get if you don't want to read through it. Tl;dr: Help support the people fighting in the courts against DHS & ICE evils.

Please boost. Im doing delivery to make a little money but it's barely keeping food on the table. It could be another two months before all of the issues with my bank will be settled if they are at all. Thank you and I love you 🖤

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.

Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

Such sage advice. Tell me, what behaviours should black folks, queer folks, trans folks, asians, indigenous people, mentally ill people, and neurodivergent people avoid in order to not be classified like they would in the 50s or 60s?
