I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

🧵 I decided to take a look at how the chemical weapon denialists were responding to the latest news out of Syria about chemical weapons, and this reply from Aaron Mate says a lot about the credibility of the denialists positions.
we will never know the full impact of all the life that has been lost. we will never know what could have been if those lives continued to be with us...
Every life is a universe unto itself. Every life has inherent value and the erasure of any life is an incomprehensible crime, a historic tragedy. I wish we could tell the individual story of every 773 of the people killed in Lebanon over the last 12 days, particularly the 103 children.
A reminder that when Christian Zionists and Christian Nationalists in the West talk about Christians, they are not talking about the Christians of the same holy land that Jesus himself came from. They don't give a shit about us.
“We are forced to stay despite the danger, when we defend our land, and we do so peacefully. None of us carries weapons. All of us carry peace and goodness and love.” These were the words of Father Pierre al-Rahi one day before Israel killed him in Lebanon today on March 9.

It really easy to claim an emergency when you do everything in your power to create said emergency....
❗️US State Department declared an emergency to bypass Congressional approval for a $660M bomb sale to Israel, the New York Times reported. The package includes 12,000 450kg bombs, 10,000 225kg bombs, and 5,000 small-diameter bombs. Secretary Rubio said an emergency requiring immediate sale exists.
I'm def not for Noem's replacement Mullin. and i'm also not for people using the fact that he does not have a degree above an Associate degree as the reason why he's not qualified. there's plenty other reasons to not like the dude without becoming elitists

The so-called West is built on genocide & colonization. to pin what is happening on 1 genocidal state erases the ongoing genocides that the West has partaken in since it first began to consolidate its power- including on its own lands. This isn't to protect 1 state, its to protect all of them
The West is marshalling all this effort and tearing any pretence of international law to shreads all to empower an apartheid state that has been openly committing genocide for the past several years. Any notion the West was some kind of moral arbiter of the world is dead and buried.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Absolutely brain dead take. Trans people did start with employment, housing, and healthcare. There are cases dating back decades such as Smith v. Salem in 2004 and Glenn v Brumby in 2011! Many states passed anti discrimination laws well over a decade ago. He has no idea what he's talking about.
“It is unimaginable to me to see France side with the Israeli authorities’ propaganda against the UN special rapporteur,” Schams El Ghoneimi told Al Jazeera.
UN staffers & a former advisor for Macron's party in EU parliament told me they condemn the a misinformation campaign against Francesca Albanese, that has led to European officials calling for her resignation. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...
soo true- something i'm still bitter about is not knowing the resources available to me when i was younger and not knowing where to look. i look back and i bitterly wonder what life could have been if i just knew there were options
It takes a type of upbringing to feel empowered enough, and some level of privilege to even know what options there are! I wish someone at my job had gotten some sense into me
Almost all the view this video got was from direct clicks and from subscribers. For some reason, no idea why, seems Youtube isn't pushing it. Its part of my sense that I'm being shadowbanned there. youtu.be/Dbkkh6GWn5Y

The rehabilitation of pro Assad propagandists who literally took money from Russia, Iran, and Syria into the pro palestine movement offends me as a palestinian. And fyi, is such a disservice to the movement. Liberation for all of us or none of us.
