Abysmal shit but again, this is just a much more crass and blunt version of the type of stuff you would’ve heard being expressed more obliquely five years ago, ten years ago. The move has been from I’m Not Racist But to Yes I Am Racist, And.

Are we still doing starter packs? And about good things like food/land/nature/climate solutions? If so,,,

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

GOP-Friendly Local ‘News’ Broadcasters Plan More Harmful Mergers After Trump Destroys What’s Left Of Media Consolidation Limits During Trump 1.0, his FCC took at absolute hatchet to media ownership limits. Those limits, built on the back of decades of bipartisan collaboration, prohibited local broadcasters and media from gr…

Major media outlets are (surprise) missing the fact that the big networks are being more feckless than usual (Kimmel) in part because they're lobbying the FCC to eliminate some of the last remaining media consolidation limits preventing the big four networks from merging

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

These are two good posts and I am hopeful about the second one which describes spending more time offline and re-learning how to read books instead.

Headline that states: PRINCE DECLARES THEINTERNET "COMPLETELY OVER"

We are on the cusp of AGI, definitely for real

I'm wondering if you read much of @bcmerchant.bsky.social 's Blood In The Machine blog? Definitely recommended it.

Giving this a like, not because I agree with everything you say, but because I absolutely agree that these things need to be talked about. Obviously your focus was on good reasons for good folk not to abandon AI, but if be interested to read a follow up addressing some of the deep issues with it...

Didn’t realize this was a prophecy.

The quote from this article: "We have a bonus scheme to protect our most precious resource, which is the senior management team" from the chair of Thames Water is what I'd write on the guillotine if I was that way inclined.
