and a GIGANTIC SUCK SHIT to Mark Zuckerberg and Meta.

Lula Goes HARD

Plus it’s always worth remembering that wanting a liveable planet, drinkable water, justice and human rights really isn’t that radical. What’s radical is setting fire to everything humanity knows and loves for profit and telling us it’s inevitable.

remembering years ago on twitter where i called a video of dancing robots and robot dogs scary and one of my followers threw a fit, called me a joyless luddite, and unfollowed me then blocked me some people are really just that naive, i guess

The Lads clearly know who Turning Point UK are, and not just that but that they are "unabashedly racist" and have links to both Reform and the Conservatives. Reeeaaaaally feels worth commenting on the fact that this organisation was recently exposed as claiming to be able to contract assassinations

Well this one just had to be drawn....

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

We’re obviously focused on the humbling of Trump in this election, but don’t sleep on telling Elon Musk there’s something besides love his money can’t buy.

A very fun headline today: supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered Flávio Bolsonaro to hand in his passports and not leave the country while he's being investigated in a money laundering probe.

We've been improving dogs through genetic engineering for literally twenty thousand years but throw enough buzzwords into the prospectus and you, too, can achieve a valuation of over a billion dollars. If only poor Thrug had known the trick, he wouldn't have died broke in a cave.

Yeah, decades of evidence shows incrementalism doesn’t work. 2 decades after the ACA passed and we are closer to the ACA being repealed than implementing a public option. Incrementalism brought the loss of abortion rights too. Just a braindead ideology for those with no real beliefs.

it’s amazing how these billionaire tech freaks *love* mainstream sci-fi and superhero movies, and also manage to completely miss the incredibly unsubtle and heavy-handed “we need to protect human creativity and freedom” moral that essentially all those movies are imbued with

A/C repair tech at our house: “Sooo, what’s with all of the Monkey Island stuff?” Boy, was he surprised.

It's starting to look like the unintended consequence of Twitter going fascist is the Right brainwashing itself. The military calls it "incestuous amplification," when dissenting voices are so effectively purged that the in-group is deluded into thinking everyone agrees with them.

Fascinating that as even as other Republicans who long ago sold their souls to MAGA still have enough baseline political acumen to see how poisonous this is, Vance is completely oblivious. It isn't just that he has no principles, decency, or moral compass, he's also really fucking bad at politics.

As recently as last month, the Alt National Park Service was amplifying election misinformation. For god's sake, don't trust them. They're just click farmers.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

I always sort of wanted to make a bumper sticker that said “At Least My Car’s Nazi Ties Are In the Past,” because honestly it would work for a lot of brands

Watching Dawkins slowly sacrifice every single principle he ever pretended to hold in the name of getting likes on twitter from fascists has been very revealing.

One of the really fascinating things about Charlie Kirk is that his own people’s response to his death was so nakedly opportunistic that it’s like oh, ok, this guy is fair game for literally anything, he’s an object, and now his soul is trapped inside Grok for eternity.

So JK doesn’t just have one yacht, she has a “support yacht” that follows her “normal” yacht around. And she has the gall to describe one of the most impoverished demographics wanting nothing more than to exist…?

Rowling *never* writes about women’s rights, workplace discrimination or the threats to women from predatory men. I tracked her posts for five months: Well over 200 hateful transphobic smears. Not a single post about women’s actual concerns or needs None

And there’s just such a staggering lack of imagination here. We stop thinking of AI like people, but then the only other thought is: ‘subordinate species’ that works for us like a slave genie and ‘solves healthcare and energy’ so we don’t have to. Really? This is as far as your mind will reach?

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

8-bit guy is posting on reddit about his fake AI girlfriend he's abusing www.reddit.com/r/GrokCompan...

At a time when fascist tech zillionaires are using their obscene wealth to fund the entire Republican Party, it's absurd and self-defeating for any Democratic politician to oppose this. This isn't rocket science. They're the bad guys! The people want you to fight them!

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

These are the same guys who warn of an invasion of indoctrinating religious zealots who wish to codify their religion into law and impose their twisted morality upon the population.

Went through some of my old blocks, out of curiosity. It's remarkable how many accounts I blocked during 2024 just stopped posting after the election.

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

If your elderly relative routinely blew up at women and insulted them, grossly sexualized other men in public, regularly fell asleep in public mid-meeting repeatedly, and babbled incoherently you'd put him under care and not let him make important decisions.

A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

Let’s just recall that she is talking about a twelve-year-old.

As a side note to all this "AI" horseshit, I really think Jensen Huang personally despises the gamers that Nvidia built their company on. You can see it in how he's treated by the financial press (they eat up every lie) and by tech reviewers (if you lie to them they never let it go, ever).

they will be studying how dogshit the marketing and PR strategy of US AI companies was in the 2020s for the next 400 years. they’re calling them the worst to ever do it
