Oh hi it's me. Unemployed since January and burning through NC's limited unemployment. Over 30 years in my field (#nptech) and cannot even get an interview. It's so demoralizing, and that's exactly by design. Fascism wants us weak & isolated so that we don't stand up for ourselves or each other.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

In this year's least surprising news: "Support for women does not translate into greater support for excluding transgender people. In fact, individuals with the most negative views of women and gender equality are the most likely to support these bans." theconversation.com/are-transgen...

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.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I dont know if it's because they love republicans and want them to win but holy crap is this an embarrassment. the equivalent of reckless disregard in terms of journalism fuck ups. Just the simplest damn googling.

On a training to be an inside poll observer--last one for the election, they just told us the first had 1000 participants and all have had 100+

Trump's odd recent rally rhetoric is ultimately beside the point; surpassing anything else, his sexual orientation is 'nonconsensual.' Violating boundaries thrills him. Even his talk of Husted makes treats him as a slab of meat — there for Trump to ogle and manhandle.

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

Obama knew what he was doing

BREAKING: Another immigrant has died in ICE custody, the 28th death in ICE detention in 2026.

Yes, making the richest people in the world even richer at the cost of human knowledge, skill, and labor is the dream of all working class people everywhere. We were put on this earth to give our bodies, minds, and soul to the technologists to devour and sell it back to us. That’s liberation.

Can you even imagine? We could some day have democratically-elected state representatives in NC instead of the gerrymandered trash currently running our state into the ground. #ncpol

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A gang of mall cops breaking some neurodivergent kid's wrist because he fit a description, then ditching him in pain on the street w/o calling help. After all this, the agents of ICE need to be banned from public employment for life.

I feel like this could also apply to obvious rage baiters like Matt Yglesias

The world doesn’t have to be so cynical. The future is unwritten. The world CAN be a different, more compassionate place. The key to not getting stuck in cynicism is to always make friends with the sadness and heartbreak underlying the negativity, without letting them run the show.

Very disappointed, not surprised. Proton has been on this path for a little bit now, but they really are just becoming the thing they originally positioned themselves as an alternative to - “big tech”. Might be time to move to @tuta.com instead…

Motherfuckers don't make me move all my accounts again! @proton.me this stupid shit is not what your customers are paying you for.

Turns out the carney government is cutting its national parks staff in half, laying off 500. Since this number means nothing in isolation, here’s a comparison: The US which has 10 times more people approx 3000 national park and forest employees, so Canada’s cuts are proportionally larger

NC voters, please tell everyone you know about these Republican-proposed constitutional amendments! They're very misleading and a lot of smart people are falling for it. #ncpol

100% correct take, racism relies on the same bio-essentialist ideology that underlies transphobia. Thank u Imani

"Selective weaponization of shoddy polls reveals that these groups are insufficiently committed to the larger strategic project of holding certain moral and scientific lines as a precondition to any political work that could possibly form the foundation of a genuinely liberatory mass movement."

This is 100% one of those “deep learning” applications that’s custom-designed and been developed for years by subject-matter experts. They didn’t just feed weather data to ChatGPT and ask it to predict tomorrow’s forecast.

It's baffling to me that some of you are obsessed with strangers on the internet who are saying "this is not good enough" about someone's politics. If you are worried about a candidate's electoral chances and you think that matters, phone bank for them or something.

But imposing real and dire consequences on AI owners whose AIs run amok, up to and including prison, seems like a good way to make the inevitable evitable.
