Really wish Democratic candidates would go like 20% as hard as whatever Gen Z baller made this video for the Senate Majority PAC account

Something I wish more people would realize.

Houstonians are putting their voting stickers on the memorial for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was shot and killed by ICE in July

When oligarchs run the country, people come last.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

Want to fund the post office? Charge advertisers more to flood me with this mountain of spammy garbage I have to dig through every few days just to make sure there's not some critical legal notice I can't miss.

I've been screaming for months for Democrats to do this. I can't tell you how happy this ad made me.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

"But character matters more than party affiliation."

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

This owl was getting banded and tagged by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. For the owl’s safety, he/she was wrapped up. These photos…🤣🦉. So cute.

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

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.

Worth noting this, in light of Meta's temporary ban on the 'No Kings' Instagram account

This is the way. Would be nice to see something like this for candidates Elon Musk is funding, too.

Seems like a good move by Padilla, and I'm glad some staffers chose to volunteer. I wish I had more faith in what they do for follow-up, though.

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

This would be a great time for Dem Senators to throw some sand in the gears. What say you @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social?

A grim tally from a corrupted White House and DOJ.

Seeing him openly prioritize access to sources over democracy itself is absolutely wild.

I feel like more people should be talking about this part

people were 100% convinced ELIZA was conscious even when you could see its 200-some lines of code and even when the guy who wrote it yelled at them over their foolishness

Protestor at a MAGA Trump rally. Now an icon.

I think Ossoff captures something that Newsom never did: the Dem base wants you to fight but they want real shit not goofy memes and too-online riffs

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

“We see lifelong effects from eviction on health, on education, on economic opportunity.”

Every day is pun appreciation day.

The corporation I've worked for since 2021 keeps having record profits in spite of ~23% inflation since then. Billions in stock buybacks. Stock price tripled. I got a 1.5% raise in 5 years. My anger is more than "vibes."

More than a fair deal. And we should be fully supporting Ukraine, not funding Putin’s war. Video: buff.ly/Hwcv2ac

Boo.

Reading Brianna Nofil’s fantastic book “The Migrant Jail” & this is what she has to say about immigration detention already in the first half of the 20th century

The most consistent negative people use to describe Democrats is "weak." We need way more candidates who lead with this kind of fearlessness. People respond to perceived strength. That comes in lots of styles and tones, but people want to vote for fighters.

Let’s adapt familiarity with tl;dr to label ai content for one another. Realize a post is a bot? Let us know! Ai;dr

This is how British WW2 psyops worked. Making the weirdness of Nazis more explicit. Mocking their ridiculous uniforms and actions.

The term everyone is dancing around is "secret police", a hallmark of totalitarian regimes.

There's a thing happening now where not-quite-philosophers are saying LLMs are thinking/understanding/sentient/conscious because FUNCTIONALISM, but their arguments are really assuming behaviorism and ignoring anything other than input and output. (And, thoroughly misrepresenting Turing's claim.)

Funny how "be nice to AI because it could become conscious in the future" does not extend to "be nice to living humans and other animals because they are (already) conscious" Techbros and their supporters are immoral idiots.
