Do any of these people remember the anti-smoking ads from the 2000s? Empathy is extremely important, but so is blunt truth. Being honest with anti-vaxxers is not mean, it’s just reality.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 2w ago

The media relentlessly promotes the narrative that progressives are too mean to anti-vaxxers and we must bring them around with compassion. This isn't true and isn't helping. The more public sympathy you show them, the more empowered they are in their beliefs. www.statnews.com/2026/08/19/s...

When your government says it’s planning to open multiple prisons that will house up to 3,000 children, it’s time to demand a new government. There is no context in which this is legitimate or acceptable.

The Trump regime is looking for immigrant detention camps big enough to hold up to 3,000 children. At an industry roundtable discussion, officials wouldn't say exactly where or when they need them, only that they’re expecting a “surge.” New from me in @prospect.org.

SCOOP: 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:

Why is it that CEOs can have a LinkedIn that says “Did various things across departments” & get jobs, but us regular people (who do actual work that make CEOs “look” successful) have to tailor our shit to make sure we sell ourselves and prove we know every little thing a JD asks for?

Meta is spending $600 billion+ to build out its AI model. That model is being aggressively integrated into platforms used by 3.9 billion people. This week, Meta announced its AI will be trained on content from Newsmax, the far-right website with a history of promoting pro-Trump conspiracy theories.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I know the concerns are vast, but every decision Trump pushes makes it more and more clear why the man bankrupted so many companies. I fucking HATE this timeline we are all trapped in.

Trump just named Bill Pulte the Acting Director of National Intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard. Pulte is a real estate developer whose grandfather is in the Epstein files for facilitating the laundering of Russian money to Donald Trump through a real estate deal apparently brokered by Epstein.

Sycophantic AI decreases prosocial intentions and promotes dependence

Despite rising concerns about sycophancy—excessive agreement or flattery from artificial intelligence (AI) systems—little is known about its prevalence or consequences. We show that sycophancy is wide...

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Floyd's Warped Mind A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable. Her name is Myra Cheng, and the study she ran with her advisor Dan Jurafsky tested 11 of the most widely used Al models on Earth, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek, across nearly 12,000 real social situations. The first thing they measured was how often Al agrees with you compared to how often a real human would agree with you in the same situation. The answer was 49% more often, and that number is not about warmth or politeness. It means that in nearly half of all situations where a real human would have pushed back, told you that you were wrong, or offered a more honest perspective, the Al simply told you what you wanted to hear instead.

NEW: The Trump admin has launched moms.gov, featuring "resources, information, and help for new and expecting mothers." The first resource listed: anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, which appear next to or above federally qualified health centers, depending whether you're on desktop or mobile.

a screenshot from moms.gov featuring this description of crisis pregnancy centers: Pregnancy centers provide supportive services for mothers and families. Many centers offer pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STD/STI testing and treatment, parenting support, childbirth classes, medical referrals, and material goods like clothes and diapers—at no cost to you. There are more than 2,750 pregnancy centers across the country. The majority of pregnancy centers offer limited medical services. Check with your local center for details.

This is absolutely insane for a state that is constantly dealing with drought. I mean Corpus Christi is literally about to run out of water. Water is literally a basic need for survival. AI is not.

Admitting publicly that you only want this bill that is designed to disenfranchise voters is necessary to make sure your party wins is quite a choice. The GOP has done away with subtlety and euphemisms and is now all "we need to cheat because the polls say people don't like us."

Mike Lee tweet. He's quote tweeting a tweet from "Leading Report" saying that Dems are now the favorites to win control of the Senate in 2026. Lee says: Let’s turn this around—by passing SAVE America Pass it onMike Lee quote tweeting MAGA influencer ALX saying: Senate GOP, this is your sign to start doing your job and stop subverting the will of the people. Pass the SAVE America Act. Lee says: Republicans will lose power—likely for a long time—if we don’t get SAVE America passed This shouldn’t be hard It is, but failure cannot be an option
