the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons
I feel like I should repost this every day until everyone reposts it every day and demands this simple change with big impact
Koreen Brennan@koreen.bsky.social · 4mo agoFrance passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?
It's horrifying to be in the early stages of an era where an abstraction with so much value (data) is being pillaged, all while the vast majority have yet to understand what is being taken. It's not a shiny rock, or a patch of fertile dirt, but a concept with fuzzy boundaries for most.
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · last mo.After destroying the U.S. foreign aid system, the Trump administration is now demanding multiple African nations hand over their citizen's sensitive health care data in exchange for life-saving healthcare funding. This is the data colonialism nightmare a lot of us were worried about 10 years ago.
Noticing, capturing, sharing these moments with others is exactly the solution for defeating the narrative of AI supremacy.
Crystal Fleming クリスタル@alwaystheself.bsky.social · 2mo agoInterestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!
"Anti-immigrant protesters". For a business that purports to communicate information, you are pretty terrible at doing so. Since when has it been ok to "protest" other human beings for who they are? And you choose to validate their immoral premise, @nbcnews.com.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 2mo agoHundreds of anti-immigrant protesters took to the streets of Belfast, with some setting vehicles alight, after police charged a Sudanese man over a knife attack that left one person with serious neck and head wounds.

Man, where does rage go? It certainly doesn't feel like it leaves my body. It just pools in my stomach. It radiates to my fingers. It flows down my shoulders and back like an unwanted cloak.

This is such incredible bullshit. I am alive, thriving, and writing books on health policy/politics thanks to antidepressants. Antidepressants aren't for everyone, but they can be literal lifesavers. Attacking their prescribing & use is stigmatizing and dangerous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/s...

Keith Boykin@keithboykin.bsky.social · 3mo agoLouisiana Republicans have eliminated a city clerk position in New Orleans days before a Black man was set to take office. “It’s a sad thing to see the state government repeating what happened to Black public officials during Reconstruction,” said Calvin Duncan, who was set to take office Monday.

i disagree with this statement so vehemently that i am momentarily speechless. id have to unravel dozens of axioms and presuppositions before i could even begin to put myself in the mind that could construct this sentiment
Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?
This cartoonishly childish Hegseth persona is an insult to the American military, the American people, the Iranian people, and just about everybody affected by this war. It is absolutely incredible, in the literal sense, that this man is at the hinge of the chain of command in this spiraling war.
That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 5mo agoNOT JUST THIS: Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers. This could be a major night in NC.
Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.
