Little hopeful that one of the folks at the top of the ticket has realized risk aversion is the main thing holding back their communications strategy. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

"A Tesla dealership in Loveland has become the target of a fifth attempted arson, Loveland police said." - Are they sure that it's not just that the cars are exploding on their own? I hear that the cars explode on their own. denvergazette.com/news/tesla-l...

completely cooked nation

Liquor stores in Canada have no American products.

Nickelodeon taught me as a kid The News is all about the 5 Ws (+How) For example: What the fuck is this Who the fuck is it for Why the fuck does it exist How the fuck did people think this was worth doing Where the fuck can we throw this away When the fuck are these people going to get it together

Again- AI doesn't think or understand context. It responds based on how it was taught to respond. So if people with bullshit ideas teach it, get what it puts out? Stop thinking AI is neutral or good because it isn't human

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Antivaxxers are trying to erase a six year old girl because she is the only child to die from this vaccine-preventable disease in >22 years. Six-year-olds can’t make medical decisions. She was unvaccinated bc her parents opposed vaccination & would be alive today if her parents were not antivaxxers.

In grim contrast to the red carpet, Soheila Golestani faces 74 lashes for her Oscar-nominated film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Watch this film to understand the repression of Iran’s theocratic regime &why the #WomenLifeFreedom movement is so important: www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

Facebook? I’m getting all my cyclone info from Pornhub, like nature intended.

💶 THERE IS STILL TIME TO DONATE 💶 We're going to keep our crowdfund open for a few weeks to help us reach our goal of €10,000. We are busy preparing for the future, but without your help we can't plan past May. Can you help?

The US government will stop sharing air quality data gathered from its embassies and consulates, worrying local scientists and experts who say the effort was vital to monitor global air quality and improve public health.

Stay safe Queensland !!!!!!!!!!!! Except for Bruce Lehrmann

They’re happy with how it’s going, and seem more concerned about “provider viability” than whether people are being left without any money to feed and house themselves, about whether they’re putting people in danger of suicide or other misadventure. phonakins.com/2025/03/06/a...

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Just finished @margaret.bsky.social's excellent book The Sapling Cage. It's got trans witches, anarchist knights, leftist infighting, the power of human solidarity, and a lot more in a fast-paced fantasy/YAish narrative. Loved it, back her Kickstarter for The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice too!

may his memory be a blessing

Here is jamal from gaza, hello my friends, there is only very little left, 7%, and we are reaching our goal gofund.me/a625d5ba

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Kennedy Jr backtracks and says US measles outbreak is now a ‘top priority’ for health department

I knew I shouldn’t have used that @!*$# AI!

Private prisons will soon be using incarcerated individuals to fill the labor shortages in the agriculture and construction markets, as well as service industries. Capitalism incentivizes over criminalization and mass incarceration.

This is a good article. I have a lot of thoughts about anti-vaxxers, as a committed fan of vaccinations who spent a lot of time in online parenting communities back in the early 2000s (when my kids were little).

It's going to get far worse in America. People still aren't prepared. Take care of yourselves, your families, and your communities. Best bulwark is your local community. Start there.

There is exactly one kind of person who says things like “I’ve conducted myself with integrity at every moment of my life” and that’s a person who has not conducted themselves with integrity at every moment of their life

The Govt’s Employment White Paper absolutely trashed the private sector employment services sector, and yet…

Today there was an extraordinary spectacle in the senate, where the head of the employment department and minister Murray Watt told @pennyallmanpayne.com that they don't know if they're doing MOs lawfully, but can't stop it. Watch the exchange here from 6hrs 20mins: www.youtube.com/live/UzSlWLL...

I've detected several disability service providers using AI to respond to my email enquiries without this being declared. How do I know? Their replies cobble together information vaguely related to the questions that I've asked. They don't quite sound human. This impacts accessibility. 🧵

if you are the kind of guy who thinks a lot of big thoughts about how you would TOTALLY punch a Nazi if you ever got the chance, I have great (meaning, terrible) news for you about how many public places you can go now where that’s a genuinely useful attitude to have

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
