Crazy how they spent so much energy accusing lgbtq people of being groomers that the christians didn’t notice the way they were being groomed into white nationalists

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

I said this before but it’s worth repeating: The US now is like 1930s Germany.

Co-founders of Covering Climate Now: “Too much of the coverage [of L.A. wildfires] has simply ignored the climate crisis altogether, an inexcusable failure when the scientific link between such megafires and a hotter, dryer planet is unequivocal.” www.thenation.com/article/envi...

Christmas is a good time to throw Wikipedia a few bucks to thank them for the many times you relied on the site that year. Members of the billionaire class want to destroy it for some reason. (@archive.org is also under constant threat nowadays and in need of support)

This might sound good but it’s actually a terrible climate strategy. We cannot have a livable future without shutting down the fossil fuel industry. That’s like locking your house with a monster inside

Great article here and the writer's frustration resonates with me daily as an LA resident. Car culture is both a race to death and a daily battle.

In Swiss elections today, voters rejected a referendum that would have dedicated $5.6 billion to expanding highways & building new roads. Green & left parties, which argued instead for spending the funds on transit & active mobility, successfully campaigned against the measure.

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving.
