if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

Thread on how getting detained at a protest in NYC works and why you, average person, do not need to collect names or fear for your friends who get grabbed. The trauma of unknowing is one of the biggest things that deters people from going back out. Don’t let it.

There are many jobs that people need to take for economic reasons that do not align with their personal ideals and ideologies. Neither ICE nor any role protecting or boosting the Republican regime is one of those roles. Everyone involved in those actions is choosing fascism with their whole heart.

The horrors persist but so do the little treats.

“This is familiar ground, the idea that no matter what the right does … we have the responsibility to remain not just peaceful but peaceful in a way that pleases our enemies. It becomes collective responsibility and collective guilt…”

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

For the second time in a week I get to change "rare metals" to "rare earths" thanks in large part to @lifewinning.com's occasional posts about them and their non-rarity.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

Replace "AI" in the first sentence with "cocaine" and see if the logic still holds.

We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

I keep seeing Stephen Miller tweets and every single one of them makes him sound like the most overdramatic little wizard in an anime for dumb babies

I'm confused by the white people who think the state needs an "excuse" to go after people.

when you get home, you’ll want to take a cool/lukewarm shower, too.

Haven't seen a single post defending ICE. This is the exact bubble I want in social media.
