Do AI people know how to defend their tech without implying that anyone who doesn't like it is an illiterate God-fearing peasant? No one wants to fight a war with their imagination. Just straw man after straw man
We don’t need all leftists to use AI We don’t need any leftists to embrace US AI companies - or any corporations at all We just need leftists to embrace reality You can’t win a war you’re fighting in your imagination

Every single senator has killed more people than any random guy from your city doing 25 to life, they just get to do it in a way we have all agreed makes it not real for some reason. We're governed by serial killers!! www.welcometohellworld.com/the-rube-gol...

Looks like more than one person involved in the murders of Pretti and Good were the "best trained" that DHS has to offer. And at least two are actual gun trainers themselves. So when someone says DHS needs "better training", don't debate. Just slap them. More training just means more lethal.
Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

we don't have a representative government and we never did. the sooner people accept this the sooner we can figure out what to do about it, but pretending that the ceremony of an election means we somehow control our rulers is a farcical delusion that allows them to rule us in the first place
Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

The reason that "respectable" and "intellectual" conservative and centrist pundits have spent the last decade arguing that social pressure and public opinion are morally equivalent to state coercion is to lay the groundwork for justifying the latter.
Right wing thinking on this is that there’s no consequential difference between the President using tools to influence CBS into canceling the Late Show and all of the various cancelations that happened under “Wokeness.” No difference between Colbert and Roseanne, for example.

I'm sorry, I don't buy this. David Graeber and David Wengrow effectively demonstrated the myriad ways societies could organise in early human history. The point about autocrats is not that we are hardwired to follow them but they employ systems of coercion. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
This is great stuff. I support any decision that degrades the integrity of the Hall of Fame, because it's just dumb journo crap that no real sports fan should care about. In fact I think Cooperstown should build a monument to the heroes who rigged the World Series!
"In a historic, sweeping decision, baseball commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday removed Pete Rose, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and other deceased players from Major League Baseball's permanently ineligible list."

“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on.“ One had his hands tied behind his back, suggesting he survived the initial attack & was then executed. “All of them discarded in shallow graves – a profound violation of human dignity.” Story👉 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
