If you post a screenshot of a ChatGPT or Google AI claim to prove a point, you should automatically lose whatever argument you're having. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

It is meaningless.

PLEASE don't let people get away with using AI as a source. I've seen too many screenshots of Google AI answers instead of links to articles or papers. Context collapse happens so incredibly quickly because people take whatever perspective they're handed instead of using their own.

ideal social media is you see your friends posting about the fermented cabbage they ate today or the art or music they made and youre like thats so cool. an update on the lives of my friends and their gay little hobbies. and you decide to do your gay little hobbies in response

A lotta folks have been warning for YEARS that govt subsidies encouraging US farmers to invest near-exclusively in two crops (soybeans and corn) could have catastrophic consequences.

Most were thinking climate-change implications (making these crops ungrowable) but here’s a self-inflicted one!

Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun!

We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

“Why does transit seem to be in an endless emergency? Why is it so easy to assume that transit’s financial situation is hopeless? Because we have constructed our transportation funding streams to make transit’s costs visible, while the costs of car dependence are mostly concealed.”

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers

sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan

Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?

CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD.

They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base.

No one has ever had a problem with their existence

Thousands of books in one place that anyone can take home without paying & bring back? Social & community services? HOMELESS people feel comfortable there? This commie pinko bullshit is NEVER gonna fly in the great capitalist red white & blue.

Today I went with < 10 other people to my rep Haley Stevens's office during business hours and her staff called the police on us.

We delivered a letter and suggested that she stop spending our money to kill kids. A staffer talked to us for a little while. No one asked us to leave. 1/3

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year.

Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally.

I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids.

Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches? Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation. Reporter: Are you worried about the others? Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis. Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?” Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

This is how.

Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

it’s like someone said “what do we do about the concern that audiences won’t find that believable in 2025” and no one suggested “leave it the fuck alone and do something else with our money instead of ruining the thing that made the original movie mean so much to so many people”

"They'll be fine without hormones!"

No, they won't. Many trans people can no longer produce their own sex hormones and will develop significant and costly health problems, up to and including premature osteoporosis.

The rest will be tortured by the resurgence of the wrong hormones in their blood.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans
