I don't know if people are following this story, but it's wild. Anthropic said they don't want their tech used for surveillance or weapons, and the DOD is threatening to cancel their contract and defacto blacklist them as a "supply chain risk" unless they jettison their ethical policies.

β€˜The War Between the Land and the Sea’ is out today on DVD and Blu-ray, invalidating its message about flooding the world with unwanted plastic.

Don't forget: Dr. King asked the late Nichelle Nichols to stay on the show because it was one of the only shows he let the family watch.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

β€˜The cameras were long a feature of neighbourhoods where the worst crimes were committed in finished cellars and carriage houses. But after the government published a private white paper on their utility in identifying undesirable aliens, they were sold to the public as a tool to locate lost pets.’

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids

I’m jumping the gun, yes, but @jackbrewer.bsky.social we’re doing a March Madness thing, right?

Inspired by the super tense Wisconsin/Indiana game just watched lol

If you can't watch Kirk Douglas because of what he did to Natalie Wood, that's personal & I understand that. But I don't think asking others 'Why do you still engage with X after X' is a helpful question. It's much better to consider how to create a world where the new Kirk can't get away with it.

So many people seized by ICE had, to the best of their knowledge, been following all legal processes correctly; sometimes those things changed right from under them with no chance to adjust, sometimes very minor issues (like one missing form out of dozens) and put them in imminent risk

The Dept. of Appearing to Take Things Rather Seriously While Wearing a Navy Sport Coat and No Tie is actively searching for a Dean of Comfortably Ordering Wine in a DC Steakhouse Where Denny Hastert Used to Sit Right Over There. The position will pay $580,000. The history department is abolished

Something I've been thinking about since the AI hype started is that the inevitable end game here is that human interaction will only be for people who can afford to pay for it. This isn't accessibility, it's automated inequity

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.
