Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
He says that by 2030, his data centers in areas with "high water stress" will somehow "restore 200% of the water" they use. HOW? WHERE WILL THE EXTRA WATER COME FROM?

Zuck wants everyone to download his AI to their devices for free, like Facebook. That way, Zuck continues to get unfettered access to your data, so he can both sell your data *and* use it to further train his AI.

"And as long as we go with their mendacious flow, hundreds of millions, and then billions will die well before 'Net Zero by 2050' or “ 'our great grandkids’ future' arrive. Because we are out of time. And we need to get to work immediately."

AI is the lead we're adding to the motor fuel of our technological society.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 2w agoThese businesses aren't just wasting billions - they're replacing skilled workers with defective chatbots. As I've written before, AI is the asbestos we're shoveling into the walls of our technological society. 79/
LLMs are basically the Infinite Monkey Theorem but instead of typewriters, the monkeys are typing on touchscreens with autocorrect.
P.J. Shapiro@pjshapiro.bsky.social · 2w agoLLMs basically generate bullshit. The official religion of C-Suites is bullshit. Thanks to financialization, corporate performance is completely de-coupled from actually providing goods or services. Put it together and what have you got? Yeah.
Will Chump use depleted weapons stockpiles as an excuse to launch a nuke?
Steve Benen@stevebenen.com · 2w agoIt’s a problem that the war with Iran has depleted U.S. munitions stockpiles. The fact that Trump and his team can’t keep their story straight about this, and keep pushing a series of contradictory statements, makes the problem noticeably worse. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
They were depleting 4 months ago
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5mo agoThe reason why our stockpiles are seriously depleted is not because of Joe Biden. It is because the Iran War is the SEVENTH bombing campaign by Trump in the past year. And that doesn’t count the Venezuelan boats. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"We actually don’t need any special new legal innovations like the Nuremberg trials to begin to prosecute these climate crimes," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social. "Climate victims deserve justice now, and the officials responsible for pursuing that justice have all the laws they need..."
It’s time to prosecute climate crimes – with laws that already exist | Aaron Regunberg
Some have called for Nuremberg-style trials against big oil. But there are laws already on the books to describe companies’ conduct

I'm really struggling with the whole Mitch McConnell thing. Like, is the whole democratic party so weak that not one will book a flight to walk into the hospital or hire a PI to determine if he's dead? Do we not have investigative journalists anymore? WTH is happening, and why is no one checking?
So, when an ICE officer tells you to get out of the car, you're supposed to get out of the car…👇 What are you supposed to do when a judge tells you to release the Epstein files?! Release. All. Of. The. Epstein. Files. 😎✨
The AI frontlash has the rest of us fearing for our livelihoods and our lives.

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · last mo.NY Governor Kathy Hochul has just made New York the first state with a hyperscale data center moratorium. Hochul signed an executive order instituting a one-year ban on data centers over 50 megawatts rather than signing legislation passed by the legislature that also included a one-year ban.
Today’s PSA: Opposing Netanyahu isn’t Anti-Semitic, just like opposing Trump isn’t Anti-American… If you don’t understand, you’re the PROBLEM! 😎✨
The current gerrymandering wars underscore fundamental problems with the United States’ electoral system. The Fair Representation Act, a bill to establish proportional representation in US House elections, offers a way out of this impasse.

Whether one believes Israel has committed genocide or not, some facts are clear. They've been running an apartheid system easily equal to or worse than anything done in South Africa. They should not have the United States' support in those endeavors. Sometimes divorce is the only solution.
Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”
Sanho Tree@sanho.bsky.social · 2mo agoThese are the exact words she posted: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”
"The middle is not a strategy." 💯 The "middle" is a logical compromise point. If you're adopting the middle as your starting point in a contest or negotiation, you're already conceding your point by half. And what does that concession look like to observers? WEAKNESS
