It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

KKC has been out for 1 month! To celebrate, I’m giving away 1 free itch.io key. Like & share to enter. Good luck, pardners! 🐸🤠

It's not going to be enough to abolish ICE. There are going to need to be prosecutions.

Centrists are arguing for only half as many tanks.

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

Thank you to Taste Magazine's Alexandra Domrongchai for interviewing me for this fun piece on the mighty #mungbean 🫘. Best known as the star ingredient in JUST Egg, 🥚 the mung bean *is* truly having its main character moment. 🌱 🍳 Read my bean thoughts here → tastecooking.com/the-mung-bea...

destroy the ICE

A huge reason any of these bad things are happening is that people were permitted to get away with obvious and public crimes with no consequences.

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian

I can’t compete with this

Eugenics is so prevalent that most non disabled people can’t even recognize there’s a problem They get angry. Defensive. Shut down It’s just like Covid. The denial is so strong people are risking their health every day just to feel “normal” Disabled people need you to listen

Hello Denmark #roadtrip

Deutsche Veganer wären laut dagegen, wenn Menschen wie Nutztiere eingesperrt gehalten würden, ihre Leben so verbringen müssten, und wir Herden bei Problemen Massengeschlachtet würden. Auch aus eigener Vergangenheit heraus. Und verteidigen dann Israel. Könnte kotzen.

People still retweeting zionists defending genocide as 'poor Jews suffering antisemitism' and don't realize the fascist terror they support through that.

the answer really is always just "rich dad"

IKEA museum is really cool #roadtrip

BREAKING: International coalition of over two dozen worker unions declares emergency over AI use in animation

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

I started writing something important to me tonight. Not really sure what it is, but I’ll share the end of it. Watching the tech industry do what it’s doing sickens me, and I want people to know why.

The thing that I am not always good about saying but want people to remember is that whatever you help ChatGPT learn how to do, OpenAI et al are selling to the military as a weapon That by itself should be an argument for not helping them train *anything*

it's amazing how quickly "bulleted list of sentences with bold headers and creative use of synonyms" has gone from inoffensive to 🚨this wasn't written by a human🚨

I am actually having such a good time with the Switch 2 Welcome Tour. It's just so goofy. They are SO proud of their mic not filtering out clapping noises. The game mentions it like 20 times

This is the world's first battery powered 'road train', beginning daily work at the ports of Brisbane, Australia. Quite interesting.

caring about building a sustainable future in which people (and animals, for that matter) don't have a place to life in peace is not caring about building a sustainable future.

Greta Thunberg: "It's so weird to me that people are separating caring about the environment and the climate to caring about humans... There can be no climate justice without social justice."

I think people should scroll down in the comments of the ChatGPT subreddit. So fucking many people believe they're in a personal relationship with it, and have grown extremely delusional to the point of cutting other humans out of their lives because they "don't understand me" the way ChatGPT does.

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

"The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning 'a bunch of schizoposters' who believe 'they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god.'"

While the US House tries to make it legally antisemitism to say Free Palestine, pro-gov Israelis are openly talking about greater Israel

Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking. Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors

Any USians who would like to see how a professional outmaneuvers entrenched politicians and actually cleans up corruption ought to be paying attention to Sheinbaum! We could fix a lot of government by electing a new judiciary and fighting to end re-election so career politicians don’t horde power.

Hello IKEA Hotel & Museum 🎉🎉🎉 #roadtrip (teaser pics)

Another example of imperial boomerang—this is what Israel does in Gaza:

Happy Sweden Day today #roadtrip sweden.se/culture/cele...

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

Seems straightforward to me that more studios should open remote work. Aside from clear reasons on disability and ease of communication, getting to avoid men with behavior issues like this and sexual harassment also seem like another bonus idk. It’s 2025 and we’re still dealing with this shit.

🎯 LLMs can only and by design reproduce the center while erasing the periphery.
