Not only does “AI” produce mediocre garbage, it has a huge environmental footprint that we cannot measure. The government is allowing these companies to act like literal outlaws. They steal our data, they will enjoy relaxed building regulations and they refuse to disclose their water consumption.

We're in a Civil War, right? Because one side is definitely trying to kill us.

Fun fact to remember: the actual Luddites weren’t ignorant. They weren’t against all technology. They were skilled craftspeople - expert weavers - who recognized the machine looms as a lower-quality output than what they could make, and who rebelled against their replacement with soulless slop.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

I love that for his birthday, we are throwing our own party & he's not invited. That's incredibly sad, but it's where we're at.

"Per the study, one glaring safety gap is the bots' inability to respond appropriately to users clearly at risk of self-harm or suicide." Trump's budget bill, currently in the Senate, would impose a 10-year moritorium on AI regulation. They have so little regard for human life.

BREAKING: This is SO Embarrassing. US Soldiers are practicing in Washington D.C. for Trump's Military/Birthday Parade this weekend. This reminds me of North Korea. How about you?

Using the royal we to say, "No, no, we are not a king," kinda undermines his argument, wouldn't you say?

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

If the @democrats.org aren’t calling for impeachments and shutting down the regular order of business on the Hill, then they are NOT “doing everything they can” to stop Trump’s fascist takeover. cc: @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

There's a time for nice speeches, and there's a time for deploying every single procedural tactic within one's power to make life hell for unrepentant fascists.

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

I am once again suggesting that perhaps we should simply behave as if we are outraged by bad things and people will agree with us

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…

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.
