I’m not necessarily saying humans are too dumb to be worthy of our spot at the top of the food chain but I will say that if there were 100 gorillas and one gorilla took 55% of all the bananas the other gorillas would beat that gorilla to death with their bare hands.

these rightwingers get bored fast because all they know how to do is be mad online and say evil shit, and there’s only so much being mad online and saying evil shit especially if your targets all leave your space

the abandoning is working, the nerds thirst 🙏

I literally don’t understand the motivations for any of this. Do republicans not fear Alzheimer’s? I can’t even see a revenge to democrats angle to this. No one benefits. I’m so hurt and confused every day

Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases. “I think it’s going to destroy research universities in the short term, and I don’t know after that." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Pasadena Humane has seen an influx of over 300 animals due to the fires. People lined up down the block to drop off beloved pets they could not take with them when they fled their homes. Some animals arrived with burns and injuries and are being treated. Donations and fosters are needed NOW.

Billionnaires stole your living. Not immigrants. Not minorities. Not people who follow a different religion. Billionnaires. Noone needs a billion to live. Billionnaires could easily give you the money you lack and not notice the loss. They do not. They never will.

The situation with AI perfectly illustrates how can't be climate conscious without being anti-capitalist. The surge in generative technologies is intrinsically linked to capitalism's need for exponential growth, as both cannot exist without the exploitation of land and people.

Including the interview with @katecrawford.bsky.social - and the terrific idea of AI as a “metabolic technology”

Feels appropriate to say that the gains made in the current tentative agreement represent a great deal of work from the many involved. My comment is strictly about the AI provisions or lack thereof. Y'all probably knew that. But I don't want to be disrespectful or dismissive.

I voted NO! Restricting AI to protect our interests is THE existential priority right now and this is beyond insufficient. It's nothing.

I used to love being a hater of Cringe until I started hanging out with cringe posters IRL and I realized they’re ~behind the times online~ bc they’re living real life & getting laid n shit. They just aren’t chronically online enough to be brined in the specific irony of the day and I was like “oh”
