I literally reported this Wednesday.

panel 1 man thinking: Am I still a good person if helping others also benefits me? panel 2 disembodied voice from far away: Hey, man panel 3 picture of the entire universe: It's me, the universe panel 4 universe: Be kind, I don't care why

It's not "controversial," guys, it's a Nazi salute. You can call it out as such. Stop dancing around the truth.

Just WIRED making wireless black propaganda

It will be down to 0% if we stop assessing the risks

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

A screenshot from Twitter. The original tweet reads: "Rapper Kenderick Lamar wore size 29 women's jeans to Super Bowl LIX." The tweet garnered over a thousand replies, most negative. I (Derek Guy) screenshotted that tweet and wrote: "so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else" Then another user replied to my tweet, saying: "Wearing women’s clothes has never been in style, homo."

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

What tech company will be the first to stand up and say that gutting the NSF is bad actually?

The economic argument seems pretty clear

Less NSF --> fewer PhD students --> fewer researchers --> smaller AI tech pipeline --> slower progress --> less competitive globally

@bencollins.bsky.social hi

Tech media is leaps and bounds ahead of the traditional newspapers covering Trump. I highly recommend subscribing to

@404media.co
@techdirt.com.web.brid.gy (follow @mmasnick.bsky.social)
@wired.com

They are putting in the work and not dancing around what's really happening.

Resist imperialism, not only in tech, but in every aspect of society.

they even hate the word “historically”

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

one of the defining features of the techbro dipshits now running the USA is their absolute refusal to consider that anyone, ever, has thought about problems before them

time after time they come in, propose a solution that was rejected years ago because it's stupid, and call themselves geniuses

Who will be accountable for the black box’s decisions?

Lots of people helped AI get to this point without realizing that shit like this was always the goal.

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

I’m actually here because I want to read more on hobbyist and academic aspects of tech, like FOSS and privacy.
