Think about what that means. Now recognize how many prisons already "generate revenue." Didn't we just read that Taylor Farms uses AZ prison labor? Abolish them all.

“Once the facility is up and running, CoreCivic says it expects to generate $75 million in annual revenue.”

Quit your job and become an Egyptian deity.

Bumping this again because Diana is being charged and could end up in jail over this bullshit

Sarah Clarke - Not your doll@damselindystopia.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This is for a couple of friends of mine, I personally witnessed some of the events described. Both women are in a pretty shit situation as a result of this bullshit and could really do with some help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-diana...

Like. We have to start from, we all understand that Nazis are bad. But does the average indoctrinated American citizen understand that the US is too? From my experience - no. I’ve discussed this topic & argued OP’s point for years online & IRL. A common response is incredulousness or rejection.

Every now and again I think it's important to recommend this book. It drives home the understanding that we live in a connected eco-system and that evil doesn't simply manifest in a vacuum. Nazi Germany studied American fascism, particularly Jim Crow, very closely before committing the Holocaust.

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

Kirsten Han 韩俐颖@kirstenhan.com · 5d ago

Massive Attack has been banned from Singapore after they held up a Palestinian flag during their concert here last week. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hot take: until we own the platform ourselves the CEOs will chase nazi approval if right wingers are in power.

The message "they want to inspect your daughter's genitals" would be astoundingly effective. Which is also why conservative Democrats who want to cave won't say it. In general, they would rather lose and be comfortable than win and have to push hard.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2d ago

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

I'm never going to be good at social media but I'm gonna keep posting anarchist takes and my perky tits.

i believe in transfem Jax tbh💕✨

no future ✌️

teach boys that there is such a thing as a soul; that all of us are reflections of the universe experiencing itself. teach boys that the universe has experienced enough of its own wickedness; that the universe is waiting to experience kindness and selflessness in the diorama it has set.

So @pbs.org has been fluffing AI for a while now and it's no surprise given their donor list (Alphabet, Anthropic, etc etc) But this? For KIDS? It's a disgrace, a disservice, a fundamental betrayal

Look At The Carol

What is PBS Kids doing telling 3rd graders to use Ai to write a poem???

Noir detective talk, but the femme fatale is a half-orc: I knew she was trouble when she crouched to enter my office. Those bulging arms and curved tusks disarmed my skepticism. I should've turned down the case when she picked me up by the collar and pinned me to the wall. But I couldn't say no.

Taking and deleting boob pics all dayyyyyy argggg this is toughhhhh

Do you ever wonder why The Eurasian Steppe is also called the Great Steppe? Because the small steppe is on the Moon

“Babe am i clocky?” says girl who has no clue what time it is

Hey followers that know me from other places, Uhhh would it he weird if I posted my boobs here?

My bad feelings around Covid is the realization that profits over lives was a thing and they truly feel no obligation at all to pretend to care about any of our survival- but I’ve talked with a LOT of healthcare professionals and THEY- are dealing with a level of trauma I’ve only seen-

Every time you use genAI, you're supporting an ongoing genocide in Congo. Earlier this year, the US and UAE (which is, with our help, also committing genocide in Sudan) created a paramilitary force to ensure the flow of cobalt and rare earth minerals extracted by child slaves to create GPUs.

Congo Plans Paramilitary Unit for Mines with US, UAE Funding

The Democratic Republic of Congo will create a paramilitary unit to police its mines with funding from the US and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s General Inspectorate of Mines said.

i think the party of sick freaks who want to inspect kid's private parts should be branded as such

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

"We used to have a proud life. As a pharmacist & a lawyer, we never imagined asking for aid. 3 years of no income in Gaza made providing food, clothes, & medicine for our 2 kids a daily battle. Our donations are dangerously low. Please help. 🙏 Vetted by Molly Shah ✅" tinyurl.com/4rycmjm5

So what's Amnesty International going to do when the UK starts killing people by forcing them off their medications, when the US really ramps concentration and death camps up, if they won't even stand up to a shitty rich author? As if we don't already know.

So yes, @hankgreen.bsky.social, LLMs are very useful, so long as you agree with their unspoken philosophical premise: all that matters is the product, and the process that produces the product is an inefficiency which should be optimized away.

When you “Like” and “Repost” my great posts here on Bluesky it is like I am a “Deer” and you are giving me a “Deer Biscuit”.

People are talking about this or that latest thing that people with power are getting away with, and there's this ongoing thing. If only people knew about x. If only more people knew. And, yeah, sure, that might be helpful, but awareness on its own?
