Ayer, los jóvenes antifascistas catalanes expulsaron así a los neonazis de Núcleo Nacional en Barcelona. Estos fascistas tuvieron que salir huyendo protegidos por los agentes de los Mossos. Muy grandes.

The Onion has created a machine that will kill everyone on Earth that is coincidentally running out of money and the only way to slow it down is if my staff and I take a six-week vacation to Cabo San Lucas.

9/11/2001 I was a freshman in high school in Alabama, I wore a hijab. In gym class my teacher wheeled in a screen. Something horrible was happening. I watched, mouth agape as the second tower hit. We were silent. As that period reached an end, my name was announced on the loud speaker. 1/

Here's a gift link to my 9/11 essay in the NYT. Civil libertarians long warned that before giving government new powers, we should consider how an administration with authoritarian ambition might abuse them. We were told that America was too exceptional to elect such a person. Well here we are.

Connecticut DCF is absolutely in shambles right now. Staff are run ragged because there aren't enough foster homes or therapeutic services. When I complain about basic stuff, like getting notified when my child client's foster placement is changed (a statutory requirement), they just shrug, like,

How is ICE making record arrests? I found the answer in Pa. coal country, where cops lured by a promise of federal $$$ have embraced ICE's 287(g) and are throwing up checkpoints, raiding job sites, arresting 100s, and terrorizing their communities My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/penn...

Talarico: "I oppose trans athletes playing in girls' sports if it endangers safety or fairness"

If your ER job does not permit you to write basic documentation during the shift, and only AI can help, this isn't a success. Policy and institutional choices turned the ER into an *orphan crashing machine*, and having an AI tool does not make that less true share.google/xahlbvcL59fm...

Fun fact: the only surgeries performed on trans youth in the US are breast reductions, which are far more common for cisgender youth (by, like 50 times), and are perfectly legal for both male and females (if they're cisgender). ~ 250 per year for trans youth, and ~12,500 for others.

This is worth a read because it eviscerates the narration of "AI solved complex mathematical problems, we can now retire mathematicians" that's currently being pushed by the AI companies. (and in general please remain sceptical of any claims to independent thinking or intent by LLMs)

The reason AI might kill everyone is not because it will be super-intelligent, but because it will be extremely fallible, but we will give it control over stuff that can kill us anyway. A dog is not super-intelligent, but it will kill you if you let it drive you to work.
