I'm not a business, man, but I'm pretty good company.

Abolishing ICE won't mean much if the people doing things like this are just allowed to mosey on to some other police job afterward

Fuck you If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all, and your party can burn to the ground and the nation along with it.

I met with Finer, Sullivan, and a bunch of Biden's senior people several times throughout 2023-2024 and I cannot stress enough how maddening it is to watch them reposition now after spending the time they were actually in power gaslighting the shit out of everyone

It strikes me now: are the AI founders dogfooding agents? Have they let AI agents loose on their bank accounts and whatnot?

HOLY SHIT. In a sworn statement yesterday, an ICE agent told a federal judge that an ICE flight to Equatorial Guinea had been cancelled and so couldn't be used to bring Ahmed Soliman back to the United States. The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea. prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

usually i would say "how could this be a bug when it's literally written directly in the code that its intentional" but i remembered they don't even write their code themselves anymore so there is literally a chance claude just put in discriminatory shit because it fits the patterns or something

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force. One used it for five years after retirement, tracking his wife during a custody battle. Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy. Free to read: wapo.st/3UEwWU7

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

The Home Office openly saying Mahmood forcing migrant workers to have less rights for 15 years is designed to create a big class of workers totally dependent on (& exploitable by) bosses , not to reduce migration , in The Times www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.

The tweet below describes perfectly Jan Crawford's knowingly false and racist commentary, and how Crawford even lied while trying to appear to take accountability for it. The only reason Jan Crawford has not be fired by @cbsnews.com is because that company, like her, is now thoroughly corrupt.

@iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social appears to never post an outgoing link. Never reposts; only takes other people's videos and posts them without credit or links. That doesn't look like activism or organizing to me. That looks like extraction. 🤷

I mean it’s good to see a bit of contrition, but “we gave our employees some software with no clear application which I assumed was magic and ordered them to use it for everything” needs a “so I have no choice but to resign” at the end. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's quite a choice to write an article about American policing that ignores transit/school police, sheriff's departments, county LEO, and state LEO. Gosh, it's almost like Gladwell is intentionally lying about the numbers.

Obviously, she spent all those years under more-normal leadership wishing to Christ she could just promote fascists. Now, she can. Over the past decade, many people have been given permission to become what they always were and let their freak flags fly This is both good and bad.

Crawford is a CBS veteran. She's not a Bari hire. The mainstream news media was disintegrating long before "the billionaires" took most of it over. It could be argued that an explicitly fascist propaganda media is *better* than a media presenting itself as "impartial."

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

the political part aside, it seems like a pretty big problem that a social media company controlled by a conglomerate that includes two Hollywood Studios is banning an account dedicated to a film from one of its competitors!

These arguments always boil down to the same thing (yes I read it) "if you use your freedom in ways we don't like, we should take it away from you." Which is not, you know, freedom bsky.app/profile/pgou...

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

The funny thing is if you want to blame anyone besides the guy whose fault it is (trump), then you’d have to conclude Stephen miller is destroying trump in the polls to an insane degree and yet he’s on the shortlist for a next wh CoS lol

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

This is all disgusting. I've had people accuse me of using AI when I do shit like use an em-dash. I struggle to avoid yelling but HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES AND AT LEAST TWO BOOKS I WROTE have been scraped by OpenAI. I'm part of why your chatbots write the way they do. They're copying me.

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

the big chatbots hide all of this from you INTENTIONALLY to create an illusion to fool you and that’s why i think consumer-facing chatbots should be illegal it is a DELIBERATE trick. they carefully crafted it to trick people. it’s not “how llms work.“ the secret nature of it is a choice

needless to say a “being” that pops into existence for the span it takes to “answer” 1 question cannot “be” at all, much less “be” conscious llms are actually quite interesting but they’re absolutely provably, undeniably, unequivocally nothing more than fancy association-calculators

like all matters of policy aside, the GENERAL obvious move to make in 2024 was to be willing to throw a historically unpopular old man and his hanger ons under the bus and blame them for whatever and chart out how *different* you'll be. and she wasn't willing to do it then, nor now.

rookie mistake she should have said they were SI generated

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

wrote on saturday that trump was not going to let democrats avoid the question of impeachment and here we are with an offense that would have had a president impeached, removed and *at least* exiled if it had happened at any point prior to now.

The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.

It's like if Benghazi was what Republicans pretended it was, but times about 12.

The term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.

It's flatly obscene for Elon Musk to be talking about cruelty to robots when he is personally, singlehandedly and gleefully responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. (And, not to put too fine a point on it, when he thinks nothing of dressing those robots up as sex slaves for him)

What if Freddie wasn't a dream-traveling pedophile nightmare monster with knives for fingers, but a nice man who takes his daughter to the movies

at what point do you start tracing back the prompt logs to identify the human in the chain and start charging them with crimes like oh idk making knowingly false police reports

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.
