“The data, obtained through public records requests, show that at least 60 percent of the centers analyzed had reported serious pregnancy complications, suicide attempts, or sexual assault allegations.” Beyond haunting. How do the ghouls doing this sleep at night? www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

No one is “replacing” teachers with AI. People are redistributing money to tech companies for AI and replacing permanent salaried workers with contingent, poorly paid ones whose labor is to patch together the system that is being broken by AI.

Lots of Democrats are about to reveal themselves as actually Republicans. I think this will be good as a sorting mechanism.

1. Last night, Zohran Mamdani prevailed in the Democratic Primary for New York Mayor. He didn't run from trans people... He fought for them, pledging $65M to shore up care. He even spoke at rallies against hospitals like NY Langone capitulating to Trump. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I had the incredible opportunity to design and illustrate a few MCDM iconic characters at level 10. Here is the Hakan Null attaining his full potential, mind and body aligned in perfect harmony 🪬 Done in acrylics #null #hakkan #illustration #fantasy #monk #ttrpg #mcdm #drawsteel #traditionalart

Everytime you come across ai on any app make a habit of closing out the app and not opening it for the rest of the day. Send the algorithm a message

This new album of mine is so fuckin chock full of riffs. Once you think you're done with a riff, BAM! new riff. You will enjoy this album if you like listening to 200 intricate little melodies, overlapping and in rapid succession. You'll also like it if you're a morbid bitch.

Here are the 128 House Democrats who voted to table (kill) the Rep. Al Green D-TX impeachment resolution against President Trump over the Iran attacks.

The Democratic party establishment that lost us the White House, the House, The Senate, 27 Governor races and the Supreme Court went all in for Andrew Cuomo. And it appears they lost again. Time for regime change for the Democratic Party.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

Houston police called ICE on a woman who called 911 to report domestic abuse by her ex-husband. The only reason she didn't get deported is because ICE said there was no one to take custody of her kids, according to the police report. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Abolish ICE.

well at least im not dead anymore

You live in a country where they are banning Shel Silverstein and Calvin & Hobbes

Artists and small business owners who use Stripe- there's a new "AI" feature for payment disputes, it's auto-enabled and will charge a 30% fee if you win a dispute using it. You might want to turn this off. I personally don't trust a slop feature to handle disputes for me either.

#MovementMonday - This was the first time I inverted in heels! I'd never thought to try it, but Chris Sea (who is not one of my usual instructors) had it in her choreo and I said, "Why not?" #poledancing youtube.com/shorts/AJiKI...

I am so confused. Cuomo has been endorsed by both George Santos and Bill Clinton? It seems the only issue Republicans and Democrats agree on is that Progressives must never govern. Why is that? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

I REPEAT DO NOT RANK CUOMO. (Thanks to everyone correcting me 🙏)

blockbuster didn't die because it didn't acquire netflix. it died because it was acquired by vision as a way for viacom to offload its debt. when blockbuster died, it had a billion dollars in debt on the books, almost all of it viacom's.

"Men are more likely to be sexually assaulted than they are to be falsely accused... And I think in this sort of rightward push by men, that truth can get obscured. The fact that men, too, can be victims and that they, too deserve resources if something goes wrong, that is being pushed aside."

the majority are fascists

Something I've noticed in game dev: folks sometimes feel like, since we can't get an exact answer, there's no point in doing any forecasting. But you can *often* get to within an order of magnitude with high accuracy and that alone can make a huge difference in forecasting.

If you're in NYC and need a strong progressive list for ranked choice voting Zohran Mamdani is a change we need and literally every vote counts please vote tomorrow

Fledgling (8/14)

Worse approval ratings than chlamydia, let’s see if anything matters.

Tinycat II (the feral kitten I found) will meow and meow at me for hours, not interested in being picked up. And as far as I can tell all he wants is for me to lie down so he can come curl up with me for about a half an hour, 45 minutes. That's it. That's all he wants.

Just to emphasize why this shouldn’t have gotten an A, banning dual citizenship is a fundamentally stupid idea because citizenship is not decided by the national but by the nation. Certain countries have no procedure to renounce citizenship, making it impossible NOT to be a dual citizen.

But anyway, I ran a dnd adventure from Where Evil Lives to the immigrants aid place crew and they had a lot of fun. That is my joy today.

For whose who were curious what a book award-winning paper from a white supremacist University of Florida law student looked like, he's posted it online. It's as horrible (as scholarship, as political theory) as you imagined. But there's more. 1/2 archive.org/details/nati...
