The AI bros (who clearly don't understand AI) in the comments are hilarious. "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers". LLMs have no concept of how intelligent a question is, and they certainly were not designed to deliberately give stupid responses if they deem your question too stupid. 1/?

You're welcome!

A hand holds a book titled Against the State: Anarchists and Comrades at War in Spain, Myanmar, and Rojava by James Stout. Behind that are two rows of books, including titles such as Self-Defense by Elsa Dorlin and Settler Colonialism by Englert. (The other titles are a bit difficult to read.)

The statement closes with a link to "sign the parliamentary petition calling for Canada to stand with Cuba and other Latin American countries that the U.S. administration is targeting." 👇

Ok NOW going back offline, can't move my hands, but this is a priority need. Text it to friends, print flyers, share the Death Panel interview, make sure people in your life know that we can keep Palestinians connected. More than ever this matters enormously soundcloud.com/deathpanel/c...

On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

Ask yourself: are those fans worth having?

Another day, another round of cuts due to austerity forced on us by Prime Minister Goldman-Sachs, a real man of the people.

This is so sad. My heart goes out to everyone in Tumbler Ridge.

Trans ideology or gender ideology are not a real thing.

These are transphobic and homophobic dog whistles.

If you see anyone using these phrases. Confront them, especially if you’re cis gendered and straight.

I recently read Luke Kemp's book Goliath's Curse, and he identifies an adjacent trend in the historical record: technological improvement basically never results in increased quality of life for average people. Almost all the productivity benefits are captured by elite social strata.🧵

Alberta Knew Measles Was Harming Pregnant Patients—But Stayed Silent | The Walrus Internal documents reveal health officials withheld data about the people most at risk

"Despite internal emails indicating miscarriages, stillbirths, and at least one infant death, the province released no clear, timely data to clinicians or the public. Heavily redacted records confirmed officials were actually tracking these harms.." but did not report!

Yet another example of predators hiding in academia.

This is an excellent report by The Daily Texan and student Justin Doud.

She's right. The gradual closing of the internet with "save the children" as a wedge issue is progressing and will only serve authoritarians.

We need more political organization around these issues - not just targeting Discord, but targeting the governments that encourage and enable this behaviour.

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?
