Four AI-generated "articles" have now disparaged me, "Colleagues and experts in the field have expressed concerns about the consistency and scientific integrity of his work" gripeo.com/02/vincent-l...

I’ve warned that this was only a matter of time, but it’s still shocking to see in person. Here AI generated content is being used to create a fake news ecosystem, disparaging a professor who has been critical of unscientific bullshit in the form of deextinction hype.

Sorry if original post wasn’t entirely clear: ICE had an accountability policy for handling warrantless arrests and now they do not.

DO NOT SIT DOWN YOU WILL DIE You increase your risks of permanent, injurous bodily harm, disability and death by sitting down in a protest. The cops have horses and vehicles. They are shooting projectiles that are supposed to bounce off the ground before hitting you to make them "less lethal".

We need mass mobilization in the U.S. right now, and I think that people who are somehow still focused on sneering at Perfidious Wine Mom Liberals are profoundly unserious

Sounds like Trump has realized that demanding ICE meet arbitrary arrest quotas means they're only going to arrest the people in easy-to-find locations, and that it's hurting him politically

there’s a reason bluesky is a retirement home for millennial posters - we grew up before algorithms and were not used to having content shoved in our faces unasked for we chose to click on those terrible threads ourselves

These are dark times, and it's hard to know how we'll get through them, but just remember: The movie "Fear Dot Com" is about a demonic website whose address is feardotcom.com and they'll never take that away

Lots of people in this thread noting things you can do for the greater good that may not seem directly related to protest, but which underpin it because they support the basics of ordinary life. In extraordinary times we need people fed, checked in with and cared for more than ever.

Today is a great day to get off Substack, a.k.a. the Nazi bar newsletter. Moving a newsletter to a new provider not that hard! Export a spreadhseet of users. Import a spreadsheet of users. You're done.

I get that moving sucks. But I am never going to click over to read your writing while it’s hosted on the Nazi bar platform.

Wonderful to be invited to talk about space ethics & art alongside my science after receiving the President’s Award from the Geological Society. I dedicated my award to my best friend who escaped the unimaginable in Gaza and is waiting to resume his research. Support him here: tiny.cc/HelpAhmed

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

“The Trump Administration’s claim that international students take seats that should go to American students seems to be based not just in xenophobia but also on a misunderstanding about where international students are enrolled.”

What a weird moment in time for a putative journalistic outlet to turn its fire power on whether a particular social media platform is to their liking. Must be a slow news day?

NEW: The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. ProPublica heard from more than 150 researchers to understand the work that’s been lost.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

DHS and ICE tend to stay at mid-tier brands of national hotel chains with federal GSA per diem rates. Mid-tier hotels operated by Marriott, IHG, Hilton, and Choice (e.g. Hampton Inn, SpringHill, Staybridge, Doubletree, Embassy, etc). They try to stay within a half mile of a major freeway onramp.

Over 100 protestors protesting a HOTEL WITH ICE at 10 PM ‼️‼️‼️ I have never seen this level of energy and mass resistance in my life. Kicking ICE out of hotels wastes their time and directly prevents them from enacting raids. This is the purpose of protests: to DIRECTLY STOP HARM.
