AI is trash.

But, sincere question, do they even have a strategy beyond neoliberalism?

If you ever have imposter syndrome, just think of this photo.

It goes without saying but AI tech bros both have no humanity and are quite dumb. Anyway, AI is a sinking ship.

all time photo editor performance

One of seven Vichy Dems who voted to fund ICE in November. Of course she’s talking about the wrong “vermin.”

Capitalists truly view us and life as nothing more than profit machines. It’s time to shut down AI.

Correct, when you add up what we pay in taxes with what we pay in premiums, deductibles, copays, and treatments denied by insurance, and tarriffs, plus tolls to use public infrastructure, etcetera; other developed countries have more in their pockets than we do at the end of the month..

Brava! This!!!

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

One wonderful thing about humans is - regardless of the thieves in power - curiosity and care still marches on.

This is a concentration camp.

Turning a Blind Eye A memoir of daily accommodation to fascism.

AI is a pointless zombie tech.

Hollywood is COOKED

I made this $50,000,000 movie for free using AI

A real one.

If her campaign has fed and clothed thousands in “90 seconds” I’d love to see what she could do in 4+ years.

Vichy Dems.

Reason 5,653 why the absolute joy of writing and reading will never be replaced by AI. Be human. Make art.

If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy.

If the Epstein class teaches us anything it’s that the future is in our hands not the hands of a media, political, billionaire class bent on destroying our lives.

so about the relationship between the state and capital

The sad thing is that much of the federal government no longer has any legitimacy. The great thing is that we now can take power from the billionaires, sycophants, and, frankly, morons (IE the Epstein Class) who delegitimized it, and build something wonderful to help and serve working people.
