My standing search on the phrase "stochastic parrots" regularly turns up people labeling it a "thought-terminating cliché". I think maybe they're right, but not the way the think they are: >>

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Vance's wife is browner than the protester... 🧐

Nandita Sharma@nsharma101.bsky.social

Vance says that a protester demanding the release of the Epstein Files is an "illegal border crosser," on the basis that he is not white. MAGA crowd laughs. Every time he speaks, Vance spews racism to actively stoke White nationalist violence in the US and across our world.

Every Christian candidate must explicitly denounce the KKK

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social

The leader of the Republican Party supports murderous anti-American war criminal Vladimir Putin. Will Republican candidates be repeatedly asked if they denounce Putin? The Republican Party's biggest donor also boosts a German Neo-Nazi party. Will Republican candidates be asked if they denounce AfD?

Elected Democrats, you better f-ing step up after the mid-terms-

Whether it’s luxury fishing trips, yachts, or private jets, the SCOTUS justices are long overdue for some strict scrutiny. SCOTUS reform must be a priority for any incoming Democratic majority and @kateshaw.bsky.social has handed them the 4-step plan to make that happen: youtu.be/PBxxGI-IRXQ?...

I was SO wondering why I wasn't seeing a lot of this leading up to today- now I know

Holding the Trump admin accountable for its crimes can seem distant, but there are meaningful steps both US domestic opposition & the international community can take, including supporting the ICC, enabling international investigations into disappearances & civilian deaths, & refunding foreign aid

First, trans rights are human rights & none of us are free until all of us are free. Second, which Dems are focusing on trans rights? It seems to me that that discourse is all stirred up by the GOP attacking trans rights and a few Dems are very tepidly pushing back. >>

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Paulina Borsook described the tech industry in a way it didn’t (and still doesn’t) want to see itself—an extremely hierarchical environment, led almost exclusively by white men who were ideologically right wing, despite their left leaning marketing (which has long since disappeared).

26 years ago, she published a wildly prophetic book about Silicon Valley. Then she disappeared. What happened to tech writer Paulina Borsook?

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.
