“The “bubble” framing also fundamentally misunderstands what most people want from social media.” yes and really reveals what the whiners themselves want from social media lol

William Gaines (and Al Feldstein) literally yelled "FUCK YOU!" into the phone Charles Murphy, hung up on his ass, and ran this as-is. The Comics Code Authority had no stated rules regarding this content, but tried to block it anyway, which is all you need to know about how the CCA was implemented.

We're utterly thrilled to announce that "Return to Blacktooth: A Head Over Heels Adventure" is coming soon to Atari ST & Amiga! Get ready to dive into Colin Porch's epic sequel, a game almost 40 years in the making! #HeadOverHeels #JonAndBernie #Fish

It's true that progressives valorize "ugliness." But I think this person doesn't interrogate this position enough and thus lands at the wrong conclusion. Let me give you my perspective on ugliness. 🧵

If a colleague had the reliability rate of an LLM, they would be fired. If ordinary* software did, it would be uninstalled. LLMs require the chat format, because chat makes us party to the conversation. We insert the meaning ourselves - and hold it to a different standard. It's the mirror effect.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Imagine how well people could fight Trump's fascism if the Democrats stopped giving police money to stop you from doing just that. www.foxla.com/news/lapd-pr...

Alright, y'all kept asking me for it… Here's my updated hype thread for some of the best upcoming 3D Platformers that I know of! There's a ton of subgenre diversity so buckle up because it's gonna be a JUICY one… Let's do this! 🧵

I say this a lot to folks IRL, but because my job requires me to read a shitload of research abstracts in any given week, I have seen ample research into AI. There's a whole host of impressive research being done on AI for medicine, computer vision, etc. You know what I barely see? Generative AI.

Everyday 💙💪🌊

Now’s a good time as ever to strengthen the muscle for holding Trump publicly accountable for the long-term consequences of his actions. We’re going to need it again and again in the years to come. This is Trump’s war, both for what he is doing now, and for what he did seven years ago

Democrats will nap through anything but activate like sleeper agents to stop a mildly left candidate anywhere in the country

Happy #Juneteenth !! I’m black and make a Very Cool webcomic called RIDE OR DIE about queer black street racers, and their car possessed by a black man hellbent on getting revenge for his daughter’s murder! [: 🔥 More info/where to read: marsoid.net/rod 🔥 Support me on patreon! Patreon.com/marsoid

@kit-barry.bsky.social has built a small game with data we provided to help visualise just how relentless the Telegraph has been in platforming anti-trans narratives over the past year. See if you can keep up with the sheer volume. Sometimes data hits harder when you feel it!

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

american political interviewers are really bad at their jobs and the difference when somebody trained in another system gets at a US politician is night and day

There were millions of adults on US streets in '03 protesting the invasion plans. Largest protests in *world history*. Politicians on both sides voted to invade anyway & the movement had no plan to escalate until demands were met. Dems turned the movement into a PAC and Bush got re-elected. 🤷🏻‍♂️

One month apart.

the 2016 NC bathroom bill cost the state 400 million dollars & was called the most anti-LGBT law in the US. president obama called for its repeal. by 2021, state-level trans bigotry was so normalized that trans people started to lose everything from bathroom to healthcare access in 24 states.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

The road here was paved by the last few years of cultural persecution from the right and a cowardly abandonment by the Democratic establishment, who ignored so many warnings. Imperative that we loudly defend our trans siblings, and begin to organize together towards building safety and equality.

A bill creating a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine has been signed into law. Starting next year, farmworkers' minimum rate will rise to $14.65 an hour. Currently, their minimum wage is only $7.25/hr.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

All the Republican examples of "violent" rhetoric from Democrats is someone like Tim Walz saying "these people are assholes, you should be rude to them" and all the Republican equivalents are a guy with a top-secret security clearance tweeting "I will personally kill Ilhan Omar with a gun"

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

The CDC Data Project was developed by Fired But Fighting, a network of former CDC employees, to summarize publicly available federal agency and budget data to show the impact of the proposed FY26 budget on efforts to help Americans live safer, healthier and longer lives.

'“I don't think that people appreciate how few people are working to keep these collections online, even at huge institutions,” Weinberg told me. “It's usually an incredibly small team, one person, half a person, half a person, plus, like their web person who is sympathetic to what's going on.'
