Whilst you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them ... otherwise you risk turning into nothing but windbags. Everybody wanna read 1902 Lenin nobody wanna read 1920 Lenin.

A chinese woman was MCing a (math) conference. The grad student next to me: "who's that?" Me: [her name]. Guy: Is she a postdoc or something? Folks, she was being cited in every single fucking talk.

When you see me open Canva? Just know that my "I'll do it my damn self" has been activated and I'm down real bad.

People need to keep terms like "bayesian" and "priors" out of their fucking mouth. If you don't know what it means you look like a child. If you do know what it means and you aren't writing a statistics paper you look like an asshole.

The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

I was covering education at a previous job during the height of the MOOC boom and it was basically the AI mania in miniature: a management class absolutely frothing at the mouth at the promise that technology would allow them to fire all those pesky workers (teachers).

Fucking this. Also games journalism blowing up the social justice aspect of the story to distract from their conflicts of interest, putting the women involved in more danger by making them higher profile.

It should be so spectacular, for so long, that the public accountability becomes white noise. We should become *bored* with all the accountability, it should go so long.

BREAKING: Nearly half of House Democrats voted to cut off aid to Israel, a moment of reckoning as the party confronts years of voter outrage over the war in Gaza.

As Dems are finally beginning to vote against Israel, I’m reminded of a certain book…

This is why Dems are reluctant to run on retribution, despite its popularity. They want the power he accrued and the surveillance infrastructure he formalized. Period.

No.

The issue is that no matter how good your use of ai is, the apps use the same destructive infrastructure as any other use. There isn’t an ethical argument for using it imo.

Oh cool, an Easter egg feature that traps you in a driverless car and kidnaps you when it's decided you've misbehaved. Imagine what a hacker group or ICE can do with this. The fact that this is even functionally possible is horrifying.

Pope : with mercy and love and deep regret, i must call this a schismatic act Half of bluesky with their shirts off and earrings out ready to brawl outside applebees : GET THEIR ASSES WOOOOO

Let This Radicalize You

If AI makes college obsolete it won’t be because of how it credentials or if it credentials at all. The far more likely scenario is that AI’s necropolitics will finally decimate the liberal state’s zombie institutions for which credentials are produced. So, yay AI, I guess.

I am tired. #LowerEd #4eva

Nevada too, but the gov keeps vetoing them :[

Its-a me

Left wing posters/podcasters aren’t culturally relevant in the mainstream. The average person is being radicalised by some putrefied cretin on tiktok telling them socks are for queers.

Damn that's crazy... Anyway

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

You should read my books

Fucking finally.

Where's the legal fund or whatever the shit?

A lot of women working on the left can testify with me that having political hopes and dreams that would be good for women doesn't make you good at working with women.

Fuckin subscribed.

Every time someone says "marketplace of ideas" i hope they get ass cancer

If they can smell it from all the way over there, they have no reason to get closer.

Leading Democrats have almost completely ignored Trump's efforts to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. www.discourseblog.com/p/democrats-...

wrote about the scourge of non-English-language propaganda and misinformation across the U.S., and why any serious effort to reestablish a durable liberal-media apparatus *has* to be multilingual in nature: slate.com/technology/2...

Cool, cool. Nothing to see here folks.

@alihartwrites.bsky.social A similar thing to the 50501 protests is cooking and I would like to trade notes with you about it.

I fucking love Paizo

Wait I thought they didnt want people on hormones playing sports. Get your stories straight assholes.
