AI is a tool of fascism. Just don’t it.

Sen. Mike Lee surely knows by now that the Minnesota assassin is a Trump supporter and religious Christian. It's not like Lee falsely blamed the shootings on "Marxists" based on evidence or logic. He, and fascists more generally, are anti-truth, pushing blatant lies if it helps fight their enemies.

For the folks talking about the "3.5% rule", remember that after you come out for a rally you also need to take part in organized, effective resistance. Materially disrupt things. Make trouble. Create support networks to feed your neighbors and bail out protesters. Don't show up just one day.

Growing up in Ohio, there was a culture of "the South is backwards and needs to be abandoned" Moving to Georgia cut through that. It is a beautiful state with so many amazing people, tons of poc and queers- but it is choked by political corruption and exploitation. We cannot abandon each other.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

Thousands of Christians are being rounded up and deported by the U.S. government, but they’re not cottagecore tradmoms or their homeschooled goat milk enthusiasts, so these guys are fine with it. Actually, they’re thrilled.

AI was trained on my books (without my permission and against my will) so this annoys me. I never use AI. Not for research, not for images, not for writing. AI used me.

📌 “Pay attention to the tech oligarchs & their goals: not only Musk, but Peter Thiel & his frontman, JD Vance. It was interesting that the Trump/Musk feud about Epstein occurred hours after Thiel’s financial ties to Epstein’s estate were revealed, causing that…important story - to fade from view.”

I'm seeing a lot of blue state/red state discourse today. This is a reminder that Sarah is right: we're all purple like a bruise. The large protests in states run by the GOP prove that. They're not red, they're hurting.

LAPD shooting impact munitions at a non combative crowd. People just sitting and relaxing on benches leap up with their kids. This is incredibly dangerous. These munitions can and do permanently maim and kill. (Lots of studies exist!) Los Angeles!

This feels like one of the bigger and most acute escalations of political violence I can remember, and it is not lost on me that this gunman basically just did what ICE is doing everywhere. Pound on door, feign authority, destroy a life.

Goal: Be obscene. Be headturningly huge. So big it puts 90s off season mass monsters and WSM competitors to shame. Need help with certain things big. Stop the conversation in a room when I walk in big. So big people gawk. Talk to my partner about my size like I’m not there. Just total size freak
