Every episode is like, here’s a bunch of neo-Nazis you’ve probably never heard of and we’re not gonna disclose that information to you, but we’ve been helping to grow their online career thanks to their repeated willingness to participate in slop like this

"A recent paper by Stanford researchers found that leading chatbots being used for therapy, including ChatGPT, are prone to encouraging users' schizophrenic delusions instead of pushing back or trying to ground them in reality." Holy. shit.

"The orange man is making me think about things that I'd rather not pay attention to. Why can't he deport people quietly like my team does."

It's actually not cool that so many of you only care about bad stuff when when republicans are in office.

Greetings! I’m at the Huntington Park Library in Los Angeles, where a group of federal police officers that received flat tires during a confrontation with the community have parked. They are doing road repairs currently. Activists are beginning to arrive quickly from the community.

Hot take: Normalizing conversations with these type of people for clicks is actually harmful and useless, there's no middle ground with 20 people that would best serve the country fertilizing crops

Students play with police drones and body cameras at Philly tech summit About 250 students ages 4 to 18 gathered to learn about drones and other police technology as part of the 5th annual X5 Teen Tech Summit in Philadelphia.

“Militarized police tech is not a toy, it’s a threat to our safety and democracy...As police deploy drones over more of our cities, capturing more images from our homes and private lives, they try to promote it like a high-tech gadget and avoid the hard questions.” - @foxcahn.bsky.social

Flight Manifests Reveal Dozens of Previously Unknown People on Three Deportation Flights to El Salvador Hacked data obtained by 404 Media reveals dozens more people on deportation flights to El Salvador who are unaccounted for. “We have not heard from these people’s families, so I think perhaps even the...

SCOOP: The manifests for three legally contested deportation flights to El Salvador contain the names of dozens of people who have not been acknowledged in any way by the US government. Immigration experts following the case say they don't know where these people are

People are doing a lot more than "shaming" them and I think it's important to understand that.

Attorney in #SanFrancisco explains how community mobilizations against ICE block deportations.

"When you ask what can you do, this is exactly what you can do. Organize...show up and scare ICE away. Actions like these literally save lives. Because of their action today, ICE didn't show up."

ICE Agents Deserve No Privacy Attempts by the public to keep tabs on ICE are provoking predictable and pathetic responses from the government.

In Abilene, Stargate Project Puts AI Boom Ahead of Human Health The first data center for a $500-billion artificial intelligence project arrives in small-town Texas, alongside a potentially harmful natural gas plant.

'What few headlines mention, however, is the project’s most troubling feature: a $500 million on-site natural gas plant that will power the data center—and pollute the surrounding community.'

Another example of how local government and police are working with the feds:

LASD has resumed transferring people in LA County jails to ICE for the first time since early 2020. #LASDgangs

You know who's doing the most to protect people from ice right now? Ordinary people who are showing up to protect their friends and neighbors. Not the fucking dems. Only we can save us, and if you can't see that, that's a shame.

Globe and Mail headline: Why women's reluctance to embrace AI could be a career killer Photo of a woman wearing headphones, working at a computer

Ladies, you have to use AI, it's the future because it makes tasks so easy but also it's really hard to learn so you definitely can't just start using it once you're required to at work, you have to go through an arduous process first to figure out how to use this tool which simplifies everything.

How about teaching the country that the Supreme Court sucks as an institution? This is a good time for that. I know this can't be a liberal project but it could be someone's. Delegitimizing the court is useful.

All of the good social things we're taught are too idealistic and impractical to actually work are things that alleviate the baseline necessities of being alive in the world- having money, shelter, food and transportation. Denying us these things presses us into the meat grinder. We all hurt for it.

Lol

Well, the US is not the same as Tokyo and we have a real problem here with poor communities acting as the dumping grounds for pollution. There are legit concerns about the consequences of rolling back environmental reviews that you guys should really try to address.

It's just hard to imagine this kind of thing won't lead to more poor communities being used as sacrifice zones.

You mean like environmental and safety regulations? Livability standards?

Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.

"A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day"

I'm getting so tired of seeing videos where like 50 people are all standing around pointing their phones at something bad that's happening when those people could have intervened instead.

Don't be like the bystanders who watched ICE agents question kids. Be like Youman Wilder.

And if you're going to give your money to the dems, you might as well light it on fire. They only answer to their mega donors. Your money would do so much more good with a mutual aid group or a local community organization.

How in the world did you get from my post that we shouldn't take every opportunity to fight white supremacy? I'm saying that voting for dems isn't going to stop fascism and we need to do more. Too many people out here just screaming VOTE and doing nothing else.

thinking about the dems who said we can't abolish ICE as the Department of Education gets wiped off the map
