Rewrite every headline about an AI doing something illegal as the owners of the AI doing something illegal. Strict liability could end this madness.

It’s nice when a global fascist movement can crumble without millions of people dying.

New Hampshire has a fairly rare HIGH fire danger rating today. While it's only a 3 out of 5 rating, and the easy-to-read symbol shows the five classes as equal, that can be misleading. High: fires start easily and spread rapidly. Check with your local fire authorities before risky activities. #wxNH

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates,

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Holy shit. Every single Democrat: This is the message. This right here. This is the whole ass pitch the voters in the weeks before the election.

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

The political bubble is real. You can’t work for the people if you won’t get out and listen to them. That’s why, as governor, I’ll hold regular town halls. Kelly, where are yours?

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Fine reporting by @hansilowang.bsky.social ! Important to note the Census Bureau report was "unusual" in NPR headline terms because it was BOGUS, violated the CB's standards, unsigned, unvetted, sketchy and likely FALSE. CB affects $$$ distribution and House seat allocations. #VoterSuppression

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

It’s hard to think of a better definition of a traitor to the West than someone who deliberately sabotages a European democracy’s military operation against a barbaric Russian invasion.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

NWS issues Frost Advisories / Freeze Warnings only for those areas that usually don't have frost by this time of year. So, it's likely to freeze north of Plymouth, NH, but advisories are only on the seacoast. Cover or take in any delicate plants. I'm determined to harvest a few more tomatoes! 🥶🍅🧊🍅❄️🍅

You know that red dye they put in diesel fuel intended for farm equipment and off-road use? The symbolic "red dye" in Trump's imported Russian diesel represents the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens, women and children, murdered in cold blood by Vladimir Putin. ⛽️💔🕯️

it’s worth bookmarking this piece because kat methodically demolishes the false narratives and lies being spread about this case

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been following the attempts to smear the Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case and redirect blame from the seven fraternity men onto her. As usual, this campaign is built on a mountain of lies and misogyny. spitfirenews.com/p/cornell-ja...

Here is some great Democratic messaging created by a group of activists that designed signs in red with simple and yet devastating anti-Republican messaging. You can order the signs on-line.

Robert Reich picks his words carefully, and is no extremist. Take his strong anti-endorsement seriously.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm-bomb

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
