I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

But guys, if we shut down the Department of Homeland Security that also means shutting down the roaming terror squads AND airport security theater AND the orphan-grinding machine. Did you think about any of that? Did you?

Seriously, just dissolve the federal government and return power to the states until we can decide on a new system. I'm not interested in paying taxes so that a bunch of pedophiles can kick down my door and murder me in the street.

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

I met with the Seattle Mayor, King County Executive, and a coalition of labor, faith, and immigrant rights groups to strategize on how we can all defend our community from ICE.

We’re standing together and staying coordinated to protect our community from Trump’s attacks.

Battled through heaps of anxiety to call my federal reps this morning to urge them to strongly oppose the ICE reign of terror and seek its elimination. Special props to Rep. Jayapal's office where an actual person answered the phone!

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Heber Sanchaz DomΓ­nguez
Victor Manuel Diaz

"America" is forty billionaires and twenty racists in their service doing everything they can to own the world.

AMERICANS are a collection of the doggedly oppressed and the happily oppressed as different as any other oppressed population. 30% of us have been trying for centuries.

Continuing to enjoy my Xteink mini-ereader. It occured to me that I had piles of short story magazines (Clarkeworld, Lightspeed, New Edge Sword & Sorcery) and short stories would be the perfect thing for a wee reader!
