⚡️New York museum asks Bondi to arrest Putin during Alaska visit.

Beka Museum urged immediate action, highlighting Russian President Vladimir Putin's role in the forced deportation of Ukrainian children and other atrocities committed under his rule.

I genuinely do NOT understand the idiocy of having Putin proxies on TV News, like Sergei Markov just now screaming Russian propaganda on Sky News for ten minutes.

We are at war with Russia. When before has UK media ever platformed enemy states who attack our allies and poison people in our streets?

Russian war criminal Lavrov comes to Alaska in a sweatshirt with "USSR" in Russian on it. Given the multiple genocides committed by Moscow under the USSR (including the brutal Holodomor genocide against Ukrainians), its imperialist nature and character, this is a HOSTILE act.

Hallucinating Climate Security: A Cautionary Tale about Generative AI Recent studies indicate that over 90% of all students – and an increasing number of policy makers – are using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to process large amounts of data and [...]

Short piece by Tobias Ide on how horribly wrong AI bots are when asked to analyze research, in this case around climate security.

I found when dealing with environmental security, it keeps referring back to ideas from the 1990s, most long since discredited

He first appeared in the D.C. Superior Court on Monday, where a judge released him. But two days later, prosecutors obtained a new arrest warrant — this time in federal court. Dunn’s attorney says he tried to turn himself in, but instead, 20 officers came to his home to arrest him.

No expense will be spared to advance fascism. Doing the Bin Laden night raid on the sandwich guy's apartment

Trump’s administration doesn’t get to tread on Europe’s toes or decide on Ukraine’s future.

The Luddites were not against technology per de; they were against technology that devalued their work.

And they certainly weren’t unfamiliar with technology.

We should all be Luddites vis a vis AI.

"Its unfolding genocide"

Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland, has just returned from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing and seen first hand how Israel is blocking aid from entering Gaza.

Essentially, narratives about the efficiency and efficacy of AI have flooded our cultural conversation about AI thereby resulting in the uncritical uptake of anything branded as "AI" as inherently more valuable, more effective, than anything without AI, EVEN IF AI IS NOT NECESSARY.

The social and cultural authority of AI has been an issue since the days of Google as a search engine. Safiya Noble's book, "Algorithms of Oppression" and Ruha Benjamin's "Race after Technology" detail how the rise of these technologies have been premised on promises of objectivity and neutrality.

AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

Stop offloading cognitive tasks to "generative AI." Stop using systems w/ "AI" features either inextricably woven through them or prominently displayed at the top to nudge you into their use. Stop *Designing* "AI" tools & integrations that way. Stop building or using "AI" like this. Fucking Stop it.

Wow— Republican Rep. Carl DeMaio hung a curveball over the fat part of the plate and Newsom’s crew was waiting on it and hit it into the Pacific Ocean 👀

They are not playing. Goodnight Carl.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

Trump and the GOP constantly campaign that crime is out of control. In fact as this FBI report reported, violent and property crime last year was at its lowest level since the 1960s. This fact should be more broadly known by our citizens.

We pay tribute to the men and women who stood to fight the Russian invaders.
They will not be forgotten.

Just when I thought I couldn't loathe Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) any more, I watch HBO's "Surviving Ohio State" and realize I was wrong. What a despicable person, laughing off the molestation of young men in his care.

someone is getting how this is done

this guy is savage

Jordy: We’re seeing who the players are and who the pretenders are. Newsom’s showing what this country needs — not lip service, but urgency before 2026, 2028, and beyond. Gone are the days of “when they go low, we go high.” When they go low, you take them out by their knees — metaphorically.

I want ICE gone. But at the very least, they need better training—they clearly don’t know what the F they’re doing.

🚨 A man was killed on the 210 Freeway after running into traffic while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot. This is the second known death in Southern California tied to these raids.
