My condolances :-(

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Kzerplt extruded a querysome appendage.

"Professor, why is my report marked as Fail?"

"Clearly, you have just made things up."

"I did not! I found and studied an uncontacted world, and reported truthly!"

"Absurd! A technological yet irrational society? This 'Earth' you dreamed up is nonsense!"

AI is useful for tons of bad stuff though. Generating bombing targets? Check. Automating managerial oversight? Check. Political surveillance? Check. Suppressing wages? Check.

None of these depend on the model working well, just well enough to be well above chance. Which they are.

Every time people say we don't need human translators, I point out that a human wouldn't mess up the different between "forgive me father, I have sinned" and "sorry daddy, I've been naughty".

Israeli cops detain five protesters in Haifa, saying 'Stop the War' t-shirts are 'illegal' ***

"The Only Democracy in the Middle East" is arresting protesters for wearing "Stop The War" t-shirts. One officer said the slogan "is something that's illegal to have on a shirt."

Nederland zakt weer een paar plaatsen op de democratie-ranglijst; burgemeester van Katwijk weigert demonstranten tegen Wilders' eigentijdse versie van de SA te beschermen.
Zo sterven democratieën, als het gezag buigt voor de geweldsdreiging van fascisten als Wilders en zijn antidemocratisch reltuig.

It’s also because bloated American SUVs/pickups often flunk European safety rules that protect pedestrians.

you have to repost shit like this, because just talking about it makes you sound like an insane conspiracy theorist parroting lies they read on facebook. Like if I told someone this happened, they'd roll their eyes like I was a freak and it'd damage any credibility I had left. you know?

Wow. The International Criminal Court has opened proceedings against Hungary for failing to comply with the Court's request to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and surrender him to the Court, and invited Hungary to provide submissions by 23 May 2025.

Course cannot be found. This course may be retired.

FEMA has wiped their website of a bunch of courses- one of which is: IS-368.a—Including People With Disabilities in Disaster Operations

If it wasn't clear yet- these people aren't just ideological, they are barbaric.

It's not difficult to see that the collapse of the basic rule of law in the United States is inextricably linked to the bipartisan consensus on the legitimacy of Israeli genocide.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Why am I not surprised they're also the type of person who would kick innocent dogs?

Een agent aan de deur die ‘even wil weten’ waarom je bij demonstraties was? Het is geen zeldzaamheid. OneWorld sprak met zeven activisten die zonder duidelijke reden politie op bezoek kregen, soms zelfs ’s nachts. ‘Dit neigt naar censuur.’

Yeah you know your food is actually hot when you can pinpoint exactly where in your body it's currently located 😅

World’s 1.5C climate target ‘deader than a doornail’, experts say

Almost 10 years ago I gave a lecture about technosolutionism & AI - I said that skybte is coming and it will be racist & they will give it straight to the cops. Being right about miserable shit is not satisfying.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
