You know, it's fine to not like guns. That's allowed. But have you taken a stop the bleed course? How about AED/CPR? Worked with street medics? Volunteered with groups like Food Not Bombs? Have you done anything to better your community? If not, I would challenge you to do so.

Statement from Illustrators Ireland on genAI. Any writer or musician worth their salt would care enough about their own work to avoid the use of genAI images. Damaging other workers in the arts for short-term gain is incredibly selfish and hugely disappointing. www.instagram.com/p/DKKAmTLi3Z...

Obviously we like guns fine. What we don't like is Colt arming a genocide in Palestine for blood money. Very honored to stand with the CT Palestine Solidarity Coalition outside the Colt plant today.

I think LLMs and generative AI should be restricted, using state power, to research institutions only, and applied using strict ethical oversight. I think that unapproved use of LLMs on the internet for purposes such as astroturfing should be investigated with the severity of a terror plot. (cont.)

Andor was one of the most potent and timely pieces of anti-fascist fiction ever seen in mainstream media. No punches pulled, no quarter given for misinterpretation, thoughtfully and intricately woven into countless and inescapable parallels to our own reality. We really need more stories like this.

it really says something about the DNC that they have a diversity requirement for their leadership that they were willing to overlook until they needed a reason to oust someone attempting reforms.

Are you affected by Donald Trump's ban on transgender individuals in the military? Your knowledge, your strength, your drive to serve your community; these are assets that can never be taken away from you. And there is a community here for you. Trans rights are human rights, forever and always.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

you know we all joked about firebombs and walmart, but imagine telling folks from the 2010s that the first firebombs would be thrown at Tesla dealerships.

There are a lot of thoughts and opinions about this post. I want to add mine as a man who grew up conservative & fell for gamergate: The left has no vehicle of change for men. There is no attractive "masculine archetype" or achievable role model for men to aspire to. Just messaging saying men suck.

Disarming the defender, does nothing to compel a long lasting peace. It just enables the attacker with a deadly betrayal for those defending their home from an invasion that arrived in their back yard, after assurances from America this very thing wouldn't happen.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

The right thing to do is to put out a statement saying that Democrats will consider this to be insurrection against the US government and Constitution, and that those who take seriously their oath have 1 week to arrest and detain Musk or be considered offering him aid and comfort.

A lot of people are considering arming up right now. We support getting armed! But please do us and yourselves a favor: Take two weeks. Think about it. Make sure it's something you feel safe doing, are willing to learn and train with, and are certain you'll be safe having around

complaining about Kamala not winning does nothing. It's a distraction that's so obvious you might as well consider it a psyop. It does nothing to solve anyone's problems. Libs being smug about voting for her don't help. Leftists being smug about not voting for genocide don't help. Organizing helps

Special kind of cruelty to be angrier at students and activists who couldn't vote for genocide than you are for the sick monsters who funded and facilitated it. Not to mention kept it going at the risk of Trump coming to power

I'm one of the lefties who said that you should vote for the easier enemy (Harris) because Trump would be way worse on Palestine. I guess that earns me the right to say: anyone now blaming powerless and horrified voters who couldn't support genocide are disgusting
