I, Robot series? The time machine, Flatland, all classic sci-fi that I think are close to hitchhikers. More modern one, The Continuum + The grandmother paradox

And we're being called criminals and animals

In case you still had any doubts about those claims of racism.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.

This is only going to get worse.

Why Are They Hiding Their Faces? If ICE agents' actions are perfectly acceptable, they shouldn't have to mask their identities

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

Resistance is alive and well in the United States Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

one thing im totally baffled by is how many people around me are totally blasé / not attuned / not frightened by the political situation? maybe if you're not directly affected it's easier to ignore & just think things are normal? the disconnect is so insane

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

I want a normal life where we don’t have to worry about the actual fate of our country every damn minute.

Kansas Hit With One Of The Largest Tuberculosis Outbreaks In History—And Trump Is Making It Worse Is anyone surprised?

He makes everything worse.

What do you want people to know about the generative AI copyright fights that they might not already know, or they might have been misinformed about? The thing that I hear most often that's wrong as a technical matter is this concept that these are just plagiarism machines. All they're doing is taking my stuff and then grinding it back out in the form of text and responses. I hear a lot of artists say that, and I hear a lot of lay people say that, and it's just not right as a technical matter. You can decide if generative AI is good or bad. You can decide it's lawful or unlawful. But it really is a fundamentally new thing we have not experienced before. The fact that it needs to train on a bunch of content to understand how sentences work, how arguments work, and to understand various facts about the world doesn't mean it's just kind of copying and pasting things or creating a collage. It really is generating things that nobody could expect or predict, and it's giving us a lot of new content. I think that's important and valuable.

I mean, generative machine learning is just pioneering an entirely new method of plagiarism / copyright infringement, not pioneering an entirely new mode of creativity or inspiration.

It is a new thing, it's just that it's a new version of something already very bad

I'm so tired and scared, but we gotta not give up.

Just saying.

The Nazis are here.

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Heartless. Cruel.

Here’s more.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

If you know what happens to disabled people under facism, you know why I'm terrified. If we don't fix this fast, what will happen to those unable to participate in the capitalist machine? What will happen to my son when I'm gone? #disabled #autism
