There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

Where are the NRA? Why aren’t they confronting ICE? Why aren’t they confronting the Marines and the National Guard?

Just a day before the assassinations by a right winger in his own state.

Why won’t he say how he knows the “police car” isn’t actually a police car?

you ever think about how in 2009 DHS released a report about the growing threat of violent domestic terrorism from the right and then Republicans got so mad about it the DHS secretary resigned?

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

When media amplify right wing demonisation of the left as intolerant, when they treat lunatic far right ideas as “reasonable concerns”, this is what you get. People acting as if that’s true and not bullshit.

So Mark Cuban has been complaining about BlueSky Is he perhaps taking things personally?

This is everywhere. Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..." She makes half their salary.

It is 22 years ago today that my best friend, Nick Everton, died. He was 17 years old. Not much time to leave a mark on the world you would think. But those of us who knew him came away irreversibly altered by even the short time we shared together.... 🧵

Looking across the papers today, anti-trans rights commentators and politicians also seem to be the ones opposing making abortion legal. It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone - they’re against bodily autonomy. For everyone.

JKR has gone full mask-off now - this is an overt incitement to violence. And digging up an old, weird lie about 1970s paedophilia to make herself feel even better about it.

I missed this interview at the time. It’s very good hearing someone put unprofessional transphobe Justin Webb in his place. www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/22/b...

More of this tone please 😏

Block and report this far right extremist account.

How the attempt to insert AI into our lives isolates us:

but then something strange happened. suddenly there were kevins everywhere. kevins in places kevins were supposed to be. kevins hiding in plain sight.

Pestilential crook

"Whats this line item?" "Counterintelligence, sir" "It says they bought over 10,000 pizzas in FY25?" "Yes, sir"

1. Trans troops are now being separated from their jobs, and we have learned what discharge code they are being given: "JDK," a code that was used to remove communists and gay people, and can be seen as a "black mark" on their service. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is insane

The season for green and fog.

I really wish more people would look under the bonnet of LLMs and LRMs. A genuine algorithm is so much more secure than an emulated one.

I have a joke about JK Rowling but I would like to make clear that I have never had a joke about JK Rowling and I would like to apologise fully for any insinuation that I did. I have also freely decided to donate my entire life savings to “charities” dedicated to gutting LGBTQ rights.

It’s very worrying that none of these people wanted to understand how LLMs work before getting so involved.

Completely horrifying. Gift link. How many others like this are out there? ChatGPT and similar products are an attack on human sanity and reason, exploiting our most fundamental vulnerabilities.
