worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

Well this is horrifying. What happens when the rapists and abusers are running the place. Great work by the author.

I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

My book on historic rabbit warrens in England is published on 13th Nov by Liverpool Uni Press and I'm pleased to have received my advance copies. The perfect Xmas gift for any rabbit warren-obsessed nerd, of which there are no doubt many such people. #landscapearchaeology #rabbits #medievalsky

All I want is no AI book covers and these guys are like, of course AI will end the world. Duh.

The proto-Effin’ Birds was my Tumblr “Swear Trek”. It opened a lot of doors for me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I don’t have plans to revive it (one daily comic is enough work), just wanted to thank it for getting me here on this 60th anniversary of Star Trek.

I assumed that per Turing eventually there would be a chatbot created that would mimic intelligence well enough that people would be fooled. Don't know how many of us foresaw that people would start truly believing, not that the output was intelligent, but that they were somehow the authors of it.

No we do not realize this view. People on my side, the blue side, believe deep in our bones that we are completely innocent and expect Canadians to recognize and validate our belief.

Felix reposted

I hope Americans realize that Canadians emphatically do not distinguish between blue and red America. No one is feeling forgiving and saying “oh well he’s just an unpopular president whom most Americans oppose.” Because they see just how little anyone is doing to fight him.

No Canadian alive today is going to forget these few weeks, no matter how chummy we might become again in the future.

This was posted by the US department of Interior. It shows the deranged viciousness of the administration on our border. We are staring down a klepto psychopath who is being egged on at every level by the power structure of the USA. They aren't joking. Canada we stand on guard for thee.

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Miami Herald@miamiherald.com

Last month, U.S. officials warned Haitian authorities to expect an increase in deportations following the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision to allow President Donald Trump to end Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status designation even while litigation challenging the termination continues in the courts.

Felix reposted

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

I do enjoy Carney’s dry wit in all of this, while standing up for our 🇨🇦 sovereignty. “Hydronyms” is such a troll.

The Prime Minister said Thursday that Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario. It comes after U.S. President Donald Trump said the Great Lakes' name would be changed to Lake America. It doesn't apply in Canada, however. www.aptnnews.ca?p=293669

I wonder if they roll the dice and just order randomly from their suppliers. Camel milk? Spider crunch cookies? Garden dirt brownies? Sure! Customers will eat anything.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

Hey, so that "detailed list of last minute demands" screenshot in the US-Canada negotiations? It's an unsourced AI document. Stop sharing it

It’s real. You can check truth social to verify without needing to register. It’s there, between all the ads for ivermectin and posts picturing him as an equal to the founding fathers. 🤢🤮

Time to make sure that everyone in the world you care about is paying attention because things are going to get really really bad very very soon

You know the sound of an air raid siren starting up? Imagine that at full strength, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across the street from you.

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

The Balls and Strikes article is so good. XAI **didn’t even bother to get the required permits**.

Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie@audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app

something important imo that isn't mentioned in the Reuters piece is the fact that, in response to the NAACP suing xAI, Trump's DOJ is trying to *take over the lawsuit as plaintiff* and "voluntarily dismiss" the case ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.
