The Musk family are actively endorsing Restore Britain, a party the racist Reform UK considers excessively racist, whose slogan is β€œmillions must go” and whose leaders call for the expulsion of Britons of darker skin or Jewish, Muslim or otherwise non-Christian faith

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

In December I watched a presentation by a law professor and former Tech executive who made a strong case that these tools cannot remain anywhere near as affordable as they are now, and thus building them into your workflow is a dangerous game.

AI firms’ inability to make money has *everything* to do with why I don’t use AI. As a white-collar worker with ADHD, I can’t let myself get addicted to any tools that (allegedly) make my work more efficient but may become unavailable or too expensive to use in the future. That way lies madness.

It’s impossible to find skeets I saw earlier when you’re all just tiny pictures to me and I can’t remember anyone’s names.

Someone behind me at Hilton on Saturday yelled β€œHeise you suck” when Nate missed a shot. Wherever you are, dingus, I’m sure you’re pretending you always loved him. #BlueCy

I made the choice to go to the Kansas game on Saturday. Starting to think I should have picked this one instead. Loudest I’ve ever heard Hilton on TV. #BlueCy

Remorseless abuse:

"One-third of all Americans killed by strangers are killed by police

"White nationalists pervade law enforcement

10,000 family dogs killed by police every year (DOJ: "epidemic")

"Police solve just 2% of all major crimes

"NYPD Costs $10 Billion a Year

50% of municipal budgets

I just discovered that if you google the name of a typeface, all of your results will appear in that typeface. Works for Comic Sans, Garamond, Times New Roman. Works for Courier and Impact if you add β€œfont” to your search.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

What’s funny is that pre-Trump 2.0, I’d have said β€œNo one would confuse Perkins Coie for Paul Weiss” and meant it in a completely opposite way that I’d mean it now.

Why, when languages tend to shed syllables over time, have we all seemingly agreed to add an extra syllable to β€œBiathlon”?

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Stop anthropomorphizing the word prediction algorithm. It is synthesizing things humans previously said to predict what a human would say in a given situation. It is not thinking. Any meaning behind its words is imposed from without by human users, not generated from within like human thought.
