You know what's good practice for acquiescing to fascism, tho? Acquiescing to your government's active support for genocide.

Microsoft Research: GenAI can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving. Microsoft: sells GenAI aggressively into the Education 365 packages

I am sick of people in the US doing the mocking "KaMalA wOuld'Ve beEn jUst As BaD oN Gaza" - yes, she would've. Biden and Harris were abundantly clear that genocide wasn't just accepted, but actively supported. Trump is just blatant enough to loudly say the quiet part, but the policy is the same.

The McCarthyism in Australia continues. A long list of journalists, academics, artists, many others who have been targeted because they oppose Israel’s genocide. Facilitated by most of the media and political establishment. www.smh.com.au/sport/cricke...

Palestine was the test to see what they could do. Not standing in solidarity with Palestinians was not only a major moral and ethical failing it was a strategic mistake that everyone will pay for.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

This post and the replies are a great example of why democrats will continue to bleed voters. Telling 90 million people they are the problem actually wont inspire people to vote, donate, or volunteer for your party. Surprise !

All the people who were shrugging and equivocating over Elon and whether he was aligning with Nazi, far-right forces should be launched into the sun. May they never be taken seriously again.

This chart 📊 jumped out, showing the explosion of incarceration in the Northern Territory where 1% of the population is now in jail, worse than the United States. It should be a global disgrace for Australia #auspol

Every educational, academic, and cultural institution in Gaza where I studied, worked, or attended a conference or event—every theater, every archive, every historic landmark and site—has been completely destroyed. They no longer exist.

Again, my utmost respect for @polygon.com for reporting on Dreams on a Pillow when so many sites and influencers that claim to stand for inclusivity and diversity and equality have ducked speaking about the genocide, about Palestine, and about Palestinian stories. www.polygon.com/gaming/50447...

We say it every time there's a great Test, but in a world of instant gratification & where substance takes a back seat to sensation, how great is it to still have at least one sport which twists, turns, unfolds gradually & is as gloriously unpredictable as Test cricket! #AUSvIND

perfect illustration of the farce of "AI" as a technical, scientific project. a project singularly organized around bilking educational institutions, scoring lucrative military contracts, and interfering in healthcare to fleece patients and doctors. AI is a political project to accumulate power.

If you have ever wondered what colonization was like—the violence, the dispossession, the massacres, the genocide, the displacement, the famine, the dehumanization, the racism—you are watching it in real time in Palestine. It is among the most depraved of all possible acts.

People I know have been refusing to accept that the IDF kills indiscriminately for over a year now, despite VIDEO evidence. Yesterday, IDF soldiers/commanders spoke to Haaretz and confirm that they ARE killing Palestinians (adults and children) for competition, for pleasure.

Dozens of pundits have been openly cheering on what Amnesty calls a genocide in Gaza nonstop for 15 months, 20K+ children dead, 15K+ more maimed, 100,000s of lives shattered with almost uniform elite support, namely from The Atlantic. This preening Oh My, The State of Things bullshit is so unserious

Israel has murdered 111 people in Gaza since today’s dawn. Don’t normalize this genocide; don’t normalize the daily slaughter of more than a hundred people. Don’t normalize the killing and incineration of women, men, and children. Ceasefire now!
