Friends: I just put together a website dedicated to "Silicon Valley pro-extinctionism." It includes a list of articles that I've recently published on the topic. In my view, this is one of the most important issues that almost no one is talking about. See the link below!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Listen, you
who transformed your anguish
into healthy awareness,
put your voice
where your memory is.
You who swallowed
the afternoon dust,
defend everything you understand
with words.
You, if no one else,
will condemn with your tongue
the erosion each disappointment brings.

Sneaky chance to say:
Hugs. Hang in there.
It is the correct time to freak out.
But it's brutal being where you are. Mad respect.

This social app can put your face into fake movie scenes, memes and arrest videos The new Sora social app from ChatGPT maker OpenAI encourages users to upload video of their face so their likeness can be put into AI-generated clips.

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.

The US Inches Closer to Dictatorship In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, some are calling for civil war. Radical empathy might be a way out.

My thoughts on the Charlie Kirk assassination. I'd love to know yours: how do we extricate ourselves from this terrible situation? What's the solution? Do you think Hasan Piker's call for "radical empathy" is compelling? www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/the-us-inc...

Why Congress Must Reform FISA Section 702—and How It Can Instituting a warrant requirement would protect Americans against abusive searches of their private communications.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

“One gram of moss from the forest floor, would harbour 150000 protozoa, 132000 tardigrades, 3000 springtails, 800 rotifers... These numbers tell us something about the astounding quantity of life in a handful of moss.” 💚
