"A DOD official said the decision's timing, during #LGBTQ Pride month, was intentional." Fuck. You. And to borrow a slogan from the white supremacist groups whose slogans are tattooed on the current Secretary of Defense ... You Will Not Replace Us.

@paulisci.bsky.social do you have a list about internet / computers / calculators (abacus? LOL) / TV / Radio / Cliff Notes imperilling students' education? Today's "AI writes essays" panic must have predecessors right? /1

The trajectory is clear. The techbros and Trump have made it blatantly clear they do not believe in democratic principles. Their version of 'freedom' is completely unaligned with the US constitution. The big data sweep is about absolute power & domination. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I bet Elon Musk’s peeing problem (urinary urgency?) dates back years. Remember the toilet he built beside his Twitter office? Maybe the bodyguards were to protect his private(s) shame. 🤔 @niedermeyer.online @keubiko.bsky.social $TSLAQ Please send, er, leaks, to @kenklippenstein.bsky.social 😂

Tesla's Fremont, CA factory has been in violation of the Clean Air Act basically nonstop since 2019. Tesla has been doing illegal stealth recalls for years. Autopilot has killed tens of people due to known design issues. Tesla and Musk should be toxic regardless of his role in national politics.

Waited a long time to see mainstream media outlets run headlines like this. Headlines that reflect that man's callous maliciousness right back at him. $TSLAQ

A - "Upstream renewables reduce energy available downstream" has been known about since the Middle Ages! B - And successfully resolved since the Middle Ages. (Upstream compensates downstream for "damages".) C - When this happened with watermills (milling grain) 😏 #energysky #greensky
