My wife's costumes for Billy (the Halloween decoration bird skeleton that's been living on our mailbox for about 2 years) are getting increasingly elaborate. I'll post some of his older costumes below.

This is DEACTIVIST "A.i." bullshit designed to make you STOP DOING THINGS. Always remember: "A.i." is a tool for lies and fraud, which makes it a tool of fascism.

I take this personally as a New Yorker. Jessica Tisch's NYPD is not out there arresting ICE officers. Most recently, in fact, protestors said that the NYPD held them back to enable ICE to leave a Bronx hospital with someone ICE shot. Shame on anyone who's pushing propaganda & disinfo about this.

It really knocks you on your ass when you realize the problem is that the fascists are largely made up of a bunch of grown men in arrested development who spend their adult lives playing pretend and making everyone miserable as they LARP through the world.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Anyway, what was that you were saying about Tom Morello leaving his ballot blank in a safe blue state?

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political movement, during a heated exchange at a town hall. https://cnn.it/4s7r1TL

This is every bit as much of a “purity test” as any demand that a candidate not abandon fascist-targeted humans for a specious hope of political advantage. It’s just that accommodation of fascism is so ingrained as the default posture that it doesn’t register as such to people like this.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

If they can suffer, I will do everything in my power to make sure they do.

LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

The standard of living used to be so high that a minimum wage worker could afford to give a whole pack of smokes to each trick or treater instead of just one or two loosies. Failed fucking empire

Looks like I might have to finally give up smoking

"So many AI researchers have started smoking as a way of signaling to other researchers how much they believe in AI," Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar said. https://bit.ly/4rXlHlU

The cows go on strike and wind up getting better working conditions not only for themselves but the chickens as well. Their victory goes on to inspire the ducks to take action as well. A masterclass in the power of organizing and solidarity.

I am now wondering if there are *any* children’s books you could get an excellent 10 hour series out of

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

Harris County TX. He's hospitalized: "ICE claimed the man ran in front of the agents' vehicle and was struck. However, the surveillance video appears to show the SUV veering left through empty parking spaces before running the man over..." abc7.com/story/ice-ru...

Every one of these fuckers needs to suffer

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.
