🔥 “There’s something wrong in this country… everything has gone up but wages… how many yachts and houses does one person need? — They want us to stay poor, stay hidden, and die silently.” 🇺🇸 #FightTheOligarchy H/T @violadavis.bsky.social

Generative AI hallucinating makes it completely useless for the thing we want it to do but people are using it for that thing anyway and that is terrifying

When you think of money as "other people's labor", which it basically is, a lot of social institutions become very strange. For example, did you know that you can inherit millions of hours of other people's labor? Why.

O trabalho + doloroso da minha vida, sem dúvida, foi ver de perto no Discord atrocidades que eu jamais imaginei um adulto fazendo - mas não eram adultos, eram crianças e adolescentes. E estavam, de alguma forma, se divertindo. Há exatamente dois anos ia ao ar "Desafios Perversos", um especial*

Wrote about this many years ago on Twitter, but your actual goal should be 5 trains/buses an hour - so a 12 minute interval. This breaks a couple of important psychological barriers for people, based on research by TfL (London's transport operator). Will explain. 🧵 /1

It's not the pithiest or anything, but I will NEVER get over "dork ass losers."

Therapists have to follow certain codes of conduct and ethical standards. AI does not. You can’t sue or reprimand AI. It’s wildly dangerous to let AI replace trained mental health professionals.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

Chegou o momento de imunizar suas crianças! A campanha de vacinação infantil já começou em escolas do país inteiro. Proteja suas crianças e não acredite em qualquer coisa que vê na internet. Vacinas salvam vidas!

A China tirando o fone pra ouvir dos EUA que vai ser taxada em 245%

Conselho Federal de Medicina estabelece diretrizes mais restritivas para terapias e cirurgias de mudança de gênero. Resolução recebeu críticas de associações de defesa de pessoas trans. MPF no Acre aceitou pedido de investigação e vai apurar legalidade do texto do CFM. Confira: glo.bo/4juKMiE #JN

The biggest issue America has is its lack of maturity. It creates too many people that are unable to transition from children to adults. Adults with extreme childish traits.

Where is the critical thinking around AI? To me, this is a brilliant example of people being convinced of using something that is absolutely not in their best interests because the consensus (backed by big money and power) is telling them too.

We're in for a rough ride as an industry: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/notes/2025/we-are-in-for-a-rough-ride/

related, as I pointed out in @ballsandstrikes.org, that's just not how due process works "people shouldn't get due process if they broke the law" ok but it's *through* due process that a judge determines whether anyone actually broke the law so where are we now ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

O cara tem um visto de trabalho. Trabalha e mora nos EUA há sete anos. Vai pra Austrália para o funeral da irmã e na volta é preso, chamado de "retartado" e deportado sob a única alegação de que "Trump está de volta". Não existe mais lei nos Estados Fudidos. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

não acredito que aquele comentário de youtube virou realidade

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

Fun fact, the Fellowship of the Ring is now as old the first Star Wars was when it came out, and also this just in: we all basically have one foot in the grave.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

The right for autistic people with intellectual disabilities (and other disabled people) to live outside of institutions was only granted by the US Supreme Court in 1999.

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie on measles: "Many of these instances that are coming into our country are from illegal immigrants."

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

EXCLUSIVE: Curtis Yarvin, who has had an outsized impact on Silicon Valley billionaires behind Trump, is a white supremacist with an existential fear of the global destruction of the white race by inferior darker skinned populations, and “the Negro problem” bylinetimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

virginia tech's ETD repository has been crashing so often from being scraped by so many bots that they've had to close off external, non-university access. In case you needed more evidence of how LLM training hurts open access.

Seguem mais palavras proibidas pelo grande líder na terra da liberdade. No departamento de agricultura não se pode usar as palavras água limpa, tratamento de água, poluição...

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Rapaz, que cagaço! Pessoas curtindo de boa na piscina de borda infinita em Bangkok, Tailândia, quando do nada um terremoto sacode tudo.

Dilma enfrentou a tortura na ditadura e um golpe Lula enfrentou o conluio da Lava-Jato, ameaças de morte e um plano de golpe Já Flávio desmaiou no palco Jair fugiu para os EUA Eduardo abandonou o cargo e fugiu De valentia, eles só tem frase feita De resto, é só choro e covardia

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Democrats need to be stating now that any and every American involved in this atrocity can expect to be imprisoned.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

Não satisfeito em colaborar para a morte de centenas de milhares na pandemia, Bolsonaro tá lá no Twitter propagando uma pesquisa da USP que diz ter chegado à conclusão de que as máscaras são não apenas INÚTEIS como AGRAVARAM o problema durante a pandemia.

Fazendo meu cardio e pensando muito nisso aqui.

Falta de oxigênio em Manaus. Demora na vacinação e promoção de “tratamentos” sem evidência. Perseguição a quem defendia medidas preventivas. Há 5 anos a OMS declarou a covid pandemia. No Brasil, mais de 700 mil morreram e não foi só pelo vírus. Não vamos esquecer. jornal.usp.br/ciencias/ace...

🚑 Governo Federal participa, nesta sexta-feira (14) da maior entrega de ambulâncias do SAMU da gestão, para renovação e ampliação da frota. São 789 novas ambulâncias para 559 cidades em 21 estados brasileiros. Acompanhe a cobertura nas nossas redes! 📲Digital/PR

Doki me disse que seu próprio estoque de antirretrovirais está prestes a acabar. “Vou desenvolver o vírus”, disse Doki. “Minha carga viral vai aumentar. Vou desenvolver tuberculose. Vou ter pneumonia.” Ela suspirou profundamente e acrescentou: “Nós vamos morrer.”

Eu só queria informar a vocês que as UBS e UPAS oferecem de GRAÇA hipoclorito de sodio. Para você higienizar corretamente seus legumes, verduras e frutas. Para que vocês não adquirirem alguma verminose por má higienização. Então bora lavar corretamente esses alimentos. E VIVA O SUS.

I can think of two for sure…
