"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

As a Millennial (I was born in 1984), STFU, you fucking bootlicker. You don't speak for me. You're a fucking slave to the nightmare of capitalism that's destroying the planet and humanity. And you apparently enjoy being exploited! You're horrifically pathetic. Fuck you. 🖕🏻

"I sacrificed any part of myself that didn't matter to capitalism and I don't know how to get it back so I've convinced myself that this is normal and fine. And I need you to think it's fine, too, or you might remind me of what I've missed out on in my one and only life."

Allowing ICE in hospitals is a public health catastrophe in the making Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

real “can we have class outside” vibe rn

Every good programmer I know has been saying this to me for months; meanwhile every not-great programmer I know has been trying to outsource their work to ai, causing more issues/delays than they if did it themselves.

A lot of these tools only seem good to people who are not great at their jobs.

the authoritarian techbro cult wishes to subjugate humanity - the good news is that these are pathetic creeps and we can beat them

The Trump admin has been targeting trans people, but there’s no new verifiable information in this report, just a single unnamed official who “feels” like trans people could be labeled Nihilist Violent Extremists. In his previous reporting Klippenstein has misunderstood the NVE label, it’s for 764.

This is such an important thread, but this post really made me sad, because the broader scholarly infrastructure has (been) eroded to the point that knowledge exchange simply can't exist in the way it used to and there's little that journals can do about it.

Because that infrastructure was people.

Just a heads up to search LibGen itself, not use the Atlantic's site. My books didn’t pop up under the latter

Life is short and the hour of our death is a mystery, so no, I will not rate my transaction

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

ICE Used So Much Tear Gas, a Public School Fled Its Campus Officers with the federal agency lobbed so many toxic chemicals at protesters, a nearby school was forced to leave.

Remind me again who the danger is on our streets?

cosign. i met James Dobson in person when i was a kid growing up in evangelical churches.

that rat bastard is part of why i was subjected to conversion “therapy” as a child. his soul was as rancid as his rightwing ideology.

rot in piss, you fascist fossil. the world is better without you in it.

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

Fuckin whack ass planet. Things on it n' shit. The fuck is that

The surprising science of fighting crime with...trees A growing body of research suggests greenery may make cities safer.

The list of public benefits that urban trees provide is so long that growing the tree canopy in cities is practically a no-brainer. But do they also reduce crime and make cities safer? @motherjones.com investigates (and yes, they consider correlation vs causation). HT @clarajeffery.bsky.social

ok here’s a thread of some rough and unedited observations about the situation in dc that i haven’t seen anyone else say and it’s just driving me wild

part ? here we go

if you live in britain or the united states and you see your country as a force for good in the world, you’re already fundamentally wrong about the most basic aspects of global history, politics, and economics. it is quite simply impossible for you to be correct about anything else you think or say

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

in all seriousness, i’ve read several reports that cognitive ability tends to be a use-it-or-lose-it thing. so no, i will not be delegating my thinking to a text generator. and i honestly wonder how it will affect long-term mental agility in those who do.

Poll: Gov. Ferguson’s first approval rating lowest in over 20 years A Cascade PBS/Elway poll found that disappointment crossed party lines, with those surveyed citing the budget, new taxes and his political ideology.

Voters clearly said they wanted a wealth tax to fund schools. Ferguson said no to both. No surprise that voters reacted negatively. A few tax increases here, a few spending cuts there isn’t something any voter wants. Politically, fiscally, Ferguson has no choice but to pass a wealth tax.
