Save the bees

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

I can't speak for other people but I call Elon a Nazi because he walks and talks and acts and even salutes like one. Hope that helps clear it up.

L to R: Chris Richards: biracial kid from Alabama who speaks about black history and has tattoos of MLK, Ali, and Obama Sergiño Dest: Dutch-Surinamese, emigrated to Brooklyn as a kid, naturalized Fola Balogun: born in Brooklyn to vacationing parents, raised in UK but CHOOSES to play for USA

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

The Felon is a real Felon. That means he will do and say anything to stop himself from going to jail. He’d rather die than do that. I’m sorry but that’s the reality we face. He’s a criminal. He’s a sexual predator. Everyone around him is complicit. What is the solution? #AmericanPeopleRule

Grandpa who sideswiped nine cars last night insists he’s fine to drive to church.

My friend, John passed very unexpectedly this past Sunday while doing what he loved, riding his bike on a gorgeous day. If you can help donate and/or help boost the visibility of this fundraiser I would appreciate it. spot.fund/6p7cd2tsc

NEW: Two weeks ago, SCOTUS made a statement: the bloodshed of the civil rights movement can be discounted because it belongs to another era. Claims that we no longer need these protections ignore an underlying reality: laws like this are dismantled when they become inconvenient to people in power.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught up in BlueSky An escape from reality.

Billionaire Bezos must be afraid. Goes on an anti-AOC tear with two WaPo editorial board rants against the congresswoman in 4 days. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

BYW: I don’t blame anyone who gets snowed by Tucker’s apology tour without the context of how his con works and has worked for over a decade: he’s an amazing talker and one of the finest propagandists alive. But anyone who knows politics knows better.

Anyone who tells you that we should engage to find good faith solidarity with Tucker or MTG is probably just doing politics as pro wrestling, where finding yourself a storyline is your job, or they are, at the very least, indifferent to antisemitism.

If poor people do this because they need water to live, they get fined into even more desperate poverty

if ai ever works as it’s been sold to us, the most easily replaced employee of every company would be ceo and as far as i can tell theres never been a single article written about that

50 years ago, the Supreme Court made a consequential ruling on campaign finance reform that doesn't get enough attention today. But it opened the floodgates to big money spending in our elections — and the corporate takeover of American politics. Here's what you should know.

Look I'm no political strategist but it seems to me that when the President's chief financial advisor is going around gleefully talking about how great it is that everyone's spending more on things and that credit card spending is up, that would be useful for opposition political messaging...

Taking swings at GenAI by making a video about how complex and artful the process of conceptualizing and designing characters actually is.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

The tone of this article is really weird. The guy bought two guns, a shotgun eight months ago and a pistol two years ago, and they make it sound like an American buying two guns over two years is inherently suspicious or evidence he planned it for a long time. They also call it an “arsenal.”

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Start calling it what it is: A #Countermander. Reframe it. Change the image to give it contrast. "It is countering Republican attacks on fair districting"

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

No, because as my colleague pointed out today, they are going to flood the zone with leak takes to crowd out any engagement with the substance

I think the Palantir attacks on bureaucrats here is ideological - like the similarly despised professors, they are a potential source of criticism. But it is also practical. The administrative class is tasked with imposing accountability, which Palantir - like the Trump administration - dislikes.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

Just found this sick website - tools.rmv.fyi Lots of completely free tools - no logins, no registration, no data collection, just good ol' indie web! the way things were and can still be!! One of them is a colourblindness sim as shown in the video, why not test out a pic of your game?

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

And so ends this lesson from the New York Times; Be transparent like Mamdani and the Times will pick over your life with a fine tooth comb. Stonewall like Trump FOR OVER A DECADE and the Times will shrug and "Oh, well! What'cha-gonna-do"

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

American higher Ed is a golden goose that’s delivered medical, tech, and science innovations, bolstered soft power internationally, and is one of the largest employers in every state. This admin is doing everything it can to kill it.

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this. You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

Mr. Smithers’ office tells the New York Times that Smithers advised against Mr. Burns’ Middle East venture, which critics say has hit a snag. But Smithers is hard at work rescuing the situation, and ensures the Times that Mr. Burns has been masterful. The bad parts are all due to… let’s say Lenny.

Let's spin up the broken record. If we're serious about CO₂ removal, we can't rely on one tech company to make it happen. It has to be a governmental effort at all levels.
