If you’re high on the New York results tonight… I just wrote this morning on a big progressive win in Virginia last week, where the local establishment face-planted as well. Give it a read, don’t stop at NYC! boltsmag.org/norfolk-virg...

Yeah, no, sorry, until AI is disconnected from plagiarism and environmental disaster as policy, it will not be viable, even for “good” applications, and at the moment, tech bros aren’t interested in “good” applications. They’re interested in people putting critical thinking in hock.

The problem isn’t just that so much is acutely terrible. It’s that so much is terrible…but bills are still due…and work is still scarce…and healthcare is still poor…and taxes still accrue…and the heat is still too hot with dehydration too intense…and hurricane season still started…and and and…

If you’re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT. this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics. Do not sign!

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

shut it down, Senator no more unanimous consent agreements, no cosponsoring legislation, no cooperation on anything until ICE is off the streets and the Trump regime falls do it now before they start throwing bags over your heads

JUST IN: Two ballot measures to protect public libraries from the conservative city council in Huntington Beach are both ahead by very wide margins. Measure to repeal a 'book review committee' up 61/39. Measure to bar privatization up 63/37. That's already with 51K+ ballots counted. Context:

The path to the end of Roe V. Wade was paved with abortion providers being killed, and clinics being bombed and set on fire.

beyond the thin veneer of concern behind all of these opeds is the much simpler truth that their authors desperately want to describe something that is very obviously their problem (fewer people want to post in the venues they like more) as though it were our problem

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

At some point people who call this information irrelevant or distracting will have to decide what it is (besides a return to a "decency" that never was) they want to happen. It's relevant because as soon as name on the door changed y'all stopped talking about migrant family separations in 2021.

This comes from one of my favorite sections in the Copaganda book. It's such an important point for understanding how the New York Times (and, indeed, all mainstream news) covers police violence and subsequent meaningless gestures at "reform."

Never understood the “you don’t like something if you have to add things to it” logic that ppl use w/ things like coffee, tea (esp matcha). They don’t keep that same energy with anything else (i.e rice, potatoes, etc). Most things are enjoyable bc of their preparation, it’s not a conspiracy. lmao

Snitching is when you betray an ally’s confidence to save yourself. Testifying against someone who tried to have you killed by rigging your car to explode is basic self-preservation. Some of y’all really confused.

Love it when liberals complain about purity tests and the test is “do you respect this marginalized person’s right to exist”

Ppl applying “no snitching” to that case sound like people who think by virtue of being Black you’re in a gang or org. That never applied to “everyone” in “all contexts.” The contexts…be real specific. It’s weird crime fan fiction going on in these digital streets by ppl who never been in real ones.

I was trying to find my way back to feeling a reasonable level of despair about AI in the arts, and then yesterday I saw posts circulating about romantasy authors accidentally leaving ChatGPT prompts in the text of their PUBLISHED BOOKS, and now my despair is uncontainable. This is so bad, guys

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'
