Still happening.

What if your news diet came with nutrition labels? @JuliaAngwin and the @ProofNews team tested what happens when news videos cite their sources and use other transparency labels. Turns out, showing your work is a fast way to increase viewer trust.

Just a reminder that there is no good data to support these uses in K12, we are just testing it live all on kids who won’t ever be these ages again and can’t get them back if we fuck it up.

All these racists need to die from complications of eating their own body weight in human shit.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Uhhhhhhh

This makes me angry, because Zak X is pending trial for multiple assaults and has continued to wander around harassing peaceful protesters while live-stream8ng for profit. Our system treats white men differently than POC. www.misfitsmedia.press/a-right-wing...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Reupping this thread because I'm not sure who convinced a bunch of Democrats that the way out of authoritarianism is to concede on EQUAL RIGHTS, but I can *promise* that it won't work. It never has.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Yikes. This is just offloading the important bits of your life. It's not even the cognitive bit (which I think is probably quite bad) that's the issue in this case. This is just giving up an opportunity to do love. That's... well, gosh, I guess it's dystopian.

I’ve learned over the last decade that there’s nothing at all I like more than a fascist losing.

They’re weirdos pushing weirdo tech on us. We shouldn’t fucken let ‘em!

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Republicans are going all in on AI-generated ads. Democrats, meanwhile, are shunning them and suggesting the ad campaigns are emblematic of a party that doesn’t care about the truth and can’t be trusted.

You can't remove debris from Earth orbit, either. I often use an analogy of ocean pollution to explain why orbital space isn't an infinite expanse to forever put things in.

Aaaaaaand

“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves, and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” ~President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1944. Image: FDR Presidential Library.

Beautiful. Let's do this from sea to shining sea.

the FDA has announced a recall of *spins wheel* MUNG BEANS due to the potential presence of *spins a second more ominous wheel* GLASS

"Vote for us or we won't pay Marines and their families restitution for poisoning them" is one way to go.

Insteaf of a thousand words. A woman trapped under the rubble after a Russian strike is showing rescuers how old her daughter is. The little girl was killed by Russia.

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

of course the worst people in the world see dogs as nothing more than part of their death cult fantasies just absolute pieces of shit

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...

With today's updated filing, we can see Elon poured another $75 million into America PAC. That brings the money we know about to roughly $400 million — and there's plenty of reason to believe that when the dust settles it will be over half a billion. From one man. Do you see why we never stopped?

[goose meme] who made the mistakes WHO MADE THE MISTAKES

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

As an example of how vital Internet Archive is, I spent several hours today using it to recreate the Yale Integrity Project on trans healthcare. The original url & contents were scrubbed & replaced with a page listing just a few of the original publications. www.transgendermap.com/issues/group...

50 years ago, the Attorney General went to prison for committing crimes to cover up the criminal actions of the President of the United States. The fallout from Watergate led to the building of a wall of independence at DOJ that lasted half a century. That wall has been shattered by Trump's people.

“Trump and Putin have teamed up to murder Ukrainians” is a better headline. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

In the middle of an exhausting semester I’m just 😵‍💫🤬☠️ to see announcement today from provost’s office that they have entered into a formal arrangement with Anthropic while a bunch of us faculty are literally still awaiting settlement from Anthropic because THEY STOLE OUR SCHOLARSHIP 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

If ICE really did arrest over 100,000 people during the summer, the number of people being held in ICE camps has probably already passed the raw numbers of people held during Japanese American imprisonment. youtu.be/bny4YMWYJ6U

Glad to see President Obama and so many Democrats have spoken out against the regime’s sham “investigation” of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Makes the silence from the current Senate Democratic leader @schumer.senate.gov even more unacceptable.

Democrats should call this treason

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

something very funny about Alito's book is that he acknowledges that originalism arose as a backlash to Supreme Court decisions but refuses to say which decisions just doing that "'i'm being silenced for my views!' 'which views?' 'oh you know the ones'" thing ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...
