One thing it does REALLY well, is impersonating the tool it’s marketed as without actually BEING that tool. If you ask for cited quotes, it invents them. If you say they’re fake, it apologizes and invents more and says THESE are real. The VOICE aspect is so convincing, people then use the fake info.

Any entertainment outlet with a major stage has the chance to make a difference. One of the greatest things Superman ever did as a piece of pop culture was make people aware of the Ku Klux Klan and why they were evil. Kudos to everyone at AEW for being the good guys we need right now. 🤼

My understanding is that the core mechanics of a LLM means it can never be taught to be right. That's just not what an LLM does or will ever be able to do. It can only be more convincing while it is wrong, which is why they're fundamentally useless

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

Do NOT let Donald Trump distract you from how beautiful I am

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

it's clear that JD Vance came to bsky *specifically* to be provocative and anti-trans, so reporting him accordingly is called for. But again: don't respond to him, don't threaten him, literally everything you post here is public and will be used against you by the fascists.

This is why we keep getting inane “bluesky is dying” articles. Grifters like this think the only reason a social network could exist is for people to squeeze money and clout out of it. “If I’m unpopular on a website it must be the algorithm!” {insert It’s the Kids who are Wrong meme here}

The central puzzle in American politics is why Republicans continue to win elections despite pursuing deeply unpopular policies. The simplest explanation is that issue positions don't matter nearly as much as we like to think they do. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Not for you." Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity. This is the society the West will defend at all costs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Fuck I missed the parade

It should be embarrassing for Democratic politicians not to have been arrested by ICE.

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence. This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

Alright well I'm going to be out of cell range for a few days, hope nothing batshit insane happens

Undocumented workers literally make your world function. Trump commits more crimes on a minute-to-minute basis than they commit in a lifetime. Trump literally doesn't know any other way to function than breaking at least five laws between meals

Holy shit a bunch of ICE prisoners who weren't getting fed broke down a fence and escaped this fucking rips Moreover, ICE must be destroyed www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1556

I'm just gonna say it, I don't think non-senators should get shoved and tackled for demanding answers from their government either! Like I think whether he identified himself as a senator or not is sort of beside the point!

Every Dem Senator: "What happened to Senator Padilla today was an unprecedented breach of constitutional government and demonstrates the scale of the threat to our republic." Also Every Dem Senator: [Goes back to business as usual] 18 Dem Senators: [Vote for Trump's crypto bill]

y’all should just go ahead and burn the phrase “cousin brenda” into your brains, because it needs to take off

Sometimes to calm myself down i make fake 2000's memes

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions" oh, ok then

There’s nothing here that needs clarification. There are no explanations that would be sufficient. There should be an official announcement from the Democrats that any apologies will be rejected. What’s needed are consequences.

“Communists are outsiders and foreigners to be arrested and punished” typically hand in hand with fascist violence against Nazis. The correct anti-fascist response (IMO) is to refuse to let the fascists drive a wedge in the left, and to double down on solidarity with all oppressed people.

Be very clear that this is old school white supremacist "that <slur> is uppity and we can't be having that" bullshit

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Supes having heat vision burns and getting his shit rocked a lot in the trailers, plus some of Gunn and Corinswet's talks have made me wonder if this take is actually not as strong and invulnerable as he wants everyone to think he is, which I think would be fascinating

there's been some extremely fucked up single occurrence events over the last week, but Noem admitting on camera their explicit plans/goals to take over california and usurp its leadership moments before violently having a sitting congressman get arrested by beat cops seems like a big one #political

I can't explain to you how wild it is to be in LA right now. National news is covering protests as riots, even though the violence is coming from the LEO side. It's chaos, but also totally quiet here in my neighborhood. Kristi Noem's saying she's gonna liberate us & they just arrested my Senator.

A US Senator was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents, and then the DHS Secretary went on to say that they are taking control from the "socialist" local government. That is fascist, there is no other proper word for it than that. No euphemisms are necessary or warranted.

Democrats in Washington should unite in doing whatever is in their power to bring this government to a screeching halt over this.

the clear message of this administration is that if your city or state didn’t vote for Donald Trump you do not have the right to self-governance and that will be enforced by the United States military we know what they are
