The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

"Shut up convicted felon"

Also I just wanna say that the idea that me too was a walk in the park and it could happen to anyone at random...

Literally go fuck yourself.

It's hard to express what it meant to watch Maurice, Natalia, Celeste, and Rhea tell their stories—in their own voices—this morning.

The segment revealed a brutal reality: homelessness at this scale isn't about personal failure. It's the result of policy choices and systems built to exploit people.

Uh

this is

enormous

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Do it 🤗

I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄

Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque?

It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

The need to have consent and challenging default opt in on your full data is still a huge tech bro battle. This. Dead people can't consent. How convenient 😑

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

There is a very good reason why the thing I say most consistently about situations like this is "the violent rhetoric policy is my least favorite policy to write and enforce, and the policy that creates the most upheaval among the userbase when it is applied"!

Why is the Chicago State Police making these types of illegal arrests 🤔

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

What a beatiful little soul - sending hugs and strenght 🩵 On Sunday it is 15 years since we lost our boy - pain, loss, grief, love and remembrance still tangled together to this day

I once wrote "I am on vacation. If you need help with Initiative X then no need to contact me. I fully believe in your ability to self-organize and deal with the issue. Sustainable pace FTW" 🤗

This speech never gets old.

Does everyone remember Adriana Smith, the Georgia nurse who was declared brain dead while nine weeks pregnant?

The black woman who was kept alive without the consent of her family because of the fetus?

Baby “Chance” was born in June. He’s still in the NICU.

America’s Future Is Hungary MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

In honor of Viktor Orban's visit to Washington, here's a reminder that Orban has made his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished:

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.

Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.
