The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.
School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is crazy.
This is the natural evolution of Zuckerberg’s first project, harassing college girls by putting their faces next to each other and having the campus rate who was hotter.

In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...
rare books are destroyed in the process but at least we have a technology that instructs teens how to commit suicide
404 Media@404media.co · 5d agoSCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:
Hell yes. Also, this man is absolutely running in ‘28.

Neither do I, but I will make common cause with such people against gangs of masked armed men grabbing people off the streets into concentration camps or overturning election results.

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million. That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 3w agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Its a lib "bubble" because MAGA can't stick dick opinions in my face without a block. People like bluesky because unlike Twitter you can curate/filter out stupid bullshit. The only reason conservatives hate it is because they cant force you to pay attention to them. That better not fucking change.

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.
Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 3w agoThose who believe things like this are working hard at not understanding the finite options available to someone whose abuser has not been prosecuted, found guilty, etc. by the law. And how rarely those things happen to abusers, esp. high-status white male abusers.

Yes, absolutely. But please, can we STOP CALLING THEM DATA CENTERS ? They are not filled with data. They are filled with machines. Servers. These are server farms. Energy eating, resource guzzling, ratepayer robbing, environment polluting server farms. Help family farms; not server farms.

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.
This is the “If we stopped testing right now, we’d have very few cases” school of thought but with the lives of hero’s.
