The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.
say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ICE and CBP are full of rapists and child predators. A new report details it in horrific detail.

Odysseus is a comedic character and should be played by a funny actor. Ryan Gosling would've made an outstanding Odysseus.

Honestly once you understand large parts of the gender critical movement as abusers raging at the community their victim is part of because they can no longer get to the individual a lot of stuff starts making much more sense.
Sarah Clarke - Not your doll@damselindystopia.northsky.social · last mo.This is one of the "Moms for Liberty" and this crusade seems to specifically be a tantrum over not being able to bully her (now adult) nonbinary kid into cisness. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...
People who are suddenly deported to countries they haven’t been to for years — or, in some cases, have NEVER been to — are incredibly vulnerable. We are going to be reading stories like this for years. God have mercy on their three little girls.

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace
𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐢 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭 🩷@jastuart68.bsky.social · 2mo agoWatching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.
To me, any Democrat who runs for President and doesn't begin by promising to fire everyone at ICE on week 1, cannot be taken seriously about anything else.
every gardener i follow is going absolutely hogwild flexing that they eat lettuce from behind their house. i've never seen gardeners act like this in my life. this is our super bowl. this is our olympics. gold medal in shitting normally
on this day in 1799 the "Rosetta Stone is found in the Egyptian village of Rosetta by French Captain Pierre-François Bouchard during Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign." This Stone was a key to translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, "unlocking 3,000 years of lost history and culture."
honestly if you have a teenager in your life and you're tempted to make jokes about how they're a teenager, maybe instead tell them they're doin okay and you love them and you wanna see whatever thing they're working on. stop making fun. they're near universally not at a place where it feels funny
I'm glad to see this from the Globe. ICE is leaning into the "secret" part of secret police because they know they are unpopular and they also think that people won't pay attention when their abductions happen away from white people.
ICE is still detaining people out in the streets — but in quieter ways - The Boston Globe
Immigration arrests by ICE are ramping up in Massachusetts and across the country, even if the activity is garnering fewer explosive headlines than previously.

Ian Coldwater 🧊🚫@lookitup.baby · 2mo agoMy mom just called to tell me that she went to a museum about the Underground Railroad, where one of the exhibits talked about the locals having horns that they would blow to warn people when the slave catchers were in town “It’s just like your whistles!”
Can yall please share? Someone in my community was detained by 🧊 on her way to work. She's a single mom and two kids are currently separated from her, which is very painful Asking for mutual aid for help with legal fees 🙏 gofund.me/79a456a6b

the thing about llms is that they copy old work and have no ability to intentionally pursue lateral leaps of creative insight, so a world ruled by ai is a world of endless recycling of the past. imagine that. culture eating itself. imagine that. totalitarian nostalgia. imagine
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

I’ve also been thinking that the World Cup is where people are finding collective joy rather than in America 250, and the creation of international and cross cultural community has been incredible to behold.
Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social · 2mo agomy hot take is that this is the actual america 250. just a ton of different people coming together, showing people what makes America weird and fun. people being welcoming. and yeah there’s some bullshit too, which is also very true to America! but the good and community far outweighs it rn.
The interesting thing about why Norway dominates at international sports is that they have a culture of not permitting ranking or competition in kids before they turn 12. It promotes cooperation and enjoyment instead. Along with affordable access, it means sports there are more equitable.
