Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. **Especially** ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Quite elegant.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

Opinion | Elon Musk is taking on an absurd number of roles in this administration. by Jared Kushner

Really though hats off to whoever convinced Mark Zuckerberg that that unholy offspring of Second Life and BonziBuddy was the future, and that it would take them 70 billion US dollars to make it. Truly hall of fame level scamming.

A coalition of watchdog groups and unions is seeking to block the DOGE team from accessing taxpayer data at the IRS. A similar battle is brewing over Social Security data.

Earlier this month, Sheinbaum shared a letter addressed to Google with reporters, arguing that the U.S. had no authority to unilaterally rename the Gulf.

You did uninstall the app like I told you, right?

Abyss-piercing sunset

I'm not saying AI isn't the future but it is notable that the biggest promoters are weird, cultish trolls and zealots who sound EXACTLY like NFT evangelists from a few years ago. Again I'm not saying it's snake oil, I'm saying they have lots of snake oil salesmen in their ranks.

My thoughts on realism in movies and games

Breaking: A federal judge sides with Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and has just blocked Trump's anti-trans EO banning care under the age of 19 via a TRO. This is the second federal judge in a row to conclude that the President's EO is likely unconstitutional.

Sick and tired (Disclaimer: trans is at the head for a reason, but all else is random. Getting distracted by what should go where is exactly the petty distraction they want.)

I looked, the nearest one is in Tacoma.

Okay, I never thought about it that way.

An astonishing exchange today between Pete Hegseth and a European reporter who has no time whatsoever for his bullshit. How I wish American media had an ounce of this steel. #hamburger

As it's important to know how you can demonstrate that Ai is dumb and often wrong, here's another fun test you can ask Ai believers to try.

When Elon Musk’s Son Wants A Hug

i hope it’s clear that big tech is not an ally. it only was as much as it was profitable. textboon rainbow capitalism, and now when they saw the writing on the wall, they flopped back into fascisms arms

Are you sure we shouldn't be foraging?

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

Alright, y'all. Let's raise a stink about this.

#Washington folks: HB 1584 is an attempt to take away vote by mail in our state, forcing us to only vote in-person on election days. Making it harder for people to vote is voter suppression. Use the link to message state reps and tell them to reject this bill!

When you see a conservative influencer calling the Kendrick performance a DEI thing it’s worth keeping in mind just how many conservative influencers are failed screenwriters/stand ups/filmmakers who only understand any form of art through a lens of spite

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

Tremendous new addition to the Louvre

If humans did invent the Jaunt you know there'd be a whole subculture of going through it awake. Witherpunks boasting about how many trips they took, competitive wakejaunts, etc. The biggest streamer celebrity would be a wizened husk with milky cataract eyes who livestreams each jaunt

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays the human from opening the Catio.

Extremism experts say a now-familiar playbook to scapegoat transgender people in the wake of high-profile tragedies is part of a political strategy to sow division and expand authoritarian control.

I wrote about how Bo Burnham's 'Inside' has become a curious time capsule that unintentionally demonstrates exactly where and how we went wrong: jasonpargin.substack.com/p/in-which-i...

I just laughed so hard I woke the cat. (But it also true. Someone please help.)

Musk wants to "put the Treasury on blockchain" and replace the dollar with crypto. Except many Americans don't have checking accounts, struggle with payment apps, and have no idea what blockchain or crypto are. There's reality and there's Musk world, and the two don't match.

✅ Yes, a study found cats learn to associate images with words faster than human babies do.

Oof. Just... oof.

BREAKING NEWS: Research and basic information on subjects ranging from tuberculosis surveillance to adolescent health disappeared from federal health agency websites.

If the little brown squirrels ever figure out the secret of the Catio catflap, things will be.... interesting.
