Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

i saw someone essentially asking 'why are people more willing to donate to ngos and charities than directly to vulnerable people's gofundmes' and i have to be real here i suspect the answer is 'because they don't know you'

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

No no no, unity is when leftists join with ME or it's their fault when Republicans win. Me having to join with leftists doesn't feel like unity, and if Republicans win it's their fault for asking me.

Leftists winning popular elections is very divisive. How are you supposed to unify a country with this sort of thing. I ask you.

Canadian prime minister Carney throws a vulnerable Sikh Canadian under the bus to strengthen ties with a powerful foreigner, Indian prime minister Modi.

Many Sikh Canadians face threats & intimidation. New Democrats have long asked the government of Canada to ensure the safety of Sikh Canadians. Now UN Human Rights Experts are calling on Canada to accelerate investigations, ensure remedy to victims & take all steps to prevent reoccurrence. (1/2)

when people say "do your own research" they generally mean "do not trust anyone with any relevant training or experience"

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

current feelings around AI: the CEOs shoveling slop into everything should be in jail but the guys spending upwards of $60,000 on elaborate, janky home rigs to run local models for no reason other than to see if it works are engaging in a long and semi-honorable tradition of computer toucher shit

Funny, but there’s actually some truth to this, because [premise of joke you just made]

I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

U.S. Sees Iran as Likely Behind Cyberattack on Minnesota Water Systems (Gift Article)

Investigators cautioned that the assessment was preliminary. There were no indications that any water supply had been rendered unsafe to drink.

If you're going to compare Israeli and French law and then block me when I show you what they say side by side that's on you lol

This happens to me every month

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz responds to Trump: “DOGE took an axe to CISA and left the U.S. exposed to cyber attacks."

Trump Claims Minnesota Is Behind Cyberattack on Its Own Water Systems, Not Iran

"Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota," said Trump.

Update: Google just sent me a statement saying it is “rolling back” this AI feature that let anyone make completely bullshit satellite images. Comes after our demos of the tool and those from OSINT researchers. One of the worst AI tools I’ve ever seen bsky.app/profile/jose...

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

O’Neal helped purge me & all the other Black full-time staff columnists at the Post Opinion Section. I challenged his move to fire me in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing. And he testified against me in June. We are expecting an arbitration ruling soon. Convenient time for him to quit.

Sometimes it seems as if some people think any race *other than White* is a social construct, at best a way of trying to dignify the flaw of not being White.

All else aside this race is yet again proving that you can just say whatever about an Arab or a Muslim candidate and no one will demand that you apologize

Congrats on getting Hamas to say “okay fine, we’ll disarm after Israel totally withdraws” and Israel to say “okay fine, we’ll withdraw after Hamas totally disarms.” No one’s accomplished that before, better make it the top headline.

I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:

How to plant a nuclear plant in Iran

The question is: what on earth is Google doing?

It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism

Technology is cool, too bad they made it evil

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

With five days left and two polls showing him up by 10+ points, Abdul El Sayed has a new ad with AOC being pushed today
