From 15,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle
It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

Wouldn't it be horrible if this was the case? This is the peak moment for our species, the pinnacle of human achievement, and the primary use case that has been found is generating revenge porn on the fascist chat app.

A close runner-up: "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."
I wish there were a single sentence that could simultaneously encapsulate and explain every single problem we have in modern society.

Just gonna light this bag of dogshit on fire and walk away from the doorstep, but the people in media I hear saying AI has made them "more productive" appear to be producing less than ever, and worse things than ever. I wonder if they can even tell.
Musk’s far-right political agenda is extremely well documented and would be fascinating to the American people (who are largely ignorant of it): which really begs the question why the Business & Media & Political Elite are choosing to minimize it (and their complicity in Musk’s impact on US).
Same person funds both the new-Nazi party in Germany and Republican party in US, but Corporate Media refuses to cover fact that Musk’s political agenda is white supremacy AND subsidies & no-regulation for rich & powerful to steamroll over “the volk” (as one would say in the original German)
Muslims lived in the city too. Muslim first responders died. This is Islamophobia and shows that Giuliani never truly was America’s Mayor. (Which obvs is something we’ve known for a long time, but it just irks me that he’s still pulling this bullshit.)

Let me tell you a story about my great aunt, her first computer, her feeling terrified... She was like a grandmother to me, very close. Her son had bought and installed her first online computer for her. And there was a website with a card trick on it, where the computer would always ID cards
Like Princess Bride, but it's Picard telling Data
The series finale of Strange New Worlds should just be the original footage of "The Cage" with a new wrap-around story. #startrek
Minor irritation - Russian Cosmism contributed to the birth and development of the ideologies of modern tech-bros, but it isn't really present in those circles as anything resembling "actually existing cosmism." It would make more sense for people who use TESCREAL as a shorthand to use TESREAL.
Abusers cultivate character witnesses just like they cultivate their victims.
Reading about Japan's first astronaut, who was a chainsmoker and spent most of his mission being violently sick. He died earlier this year, RIP to a real one.

The "algorithm" "tricked" your friends and family into becoming evil not because they were struggling but because they'd already dipped their toes into online far-right spaces and were morally susceptible to being told they were a better kind of human than their neighbors.
"Òooooo they algorithmed my poor sister-in-law when she got hurt and struggled with the healthcare industry!" well sweaty I hate to tell you but everyone fights with the healthcare industry in this country and no one more so than trans people, but you don't see us buying Nazi snake oil, do you.
MAHA is an explicitly eugenicist movement from the ground up and all those who support it aren't poor dupes but genuinely evil people, hope this helps!
Here's what I have to say about whether or not AI is becoming conscious and learning cool tricks to propagate its 'civilization' or whatever bullshit narrative people are cooking up: Who cares
Nobody on any side of this issue, none of the AI promoters, nobody who owns or operates this tech, and, beyond that, nobody in a position of power anywhere in the western world, cares about human beings. They don't care about you or me or making a world amenable to our rights or our well-being
They're addled by their own stories, they're drunk on infinite money, and they don't see the masses of humanity as something worth thinking of. Why should I give a shit if my oppressor is a man or a machine? They all need to be destroyed and if we don't set about doing that, none of this matters
kill the MAHA in your head, a non-exhaustive list: -stop using the word "chemicals" in a derogatory way. When criticizing specific types of chemicals, be specific. -stop saying "clean eating" for whatever diet you're on. food you're avoiding isn't dirty or bad just because you are avoiding it.
-stop assigning moral value to food as it relates to health or your food choices. you aren't "being good" or "being bad" in selecting a food choice. -stop assigning moral values to bodies. don't think it becomes ok to do just because the bodies belong to bad people.
-stop saying "big pharma" when criticizing the medical establishment. -stop paying huge agribusiness a mark up for meaningless labels like "cage free" and "pasture raised" - at the grocery store it's a pretty lie; if it's a priority you can afford you need the farmers market for it.
-stop using "GMO" as scary shorthand. A dog is a genetically modified organism. So is any potato you've ever encountered. If you're concerned about seed patents, talk about seed patents. -use the word "ultraprocessed" related to food sparingly if at all, it has littl4 meaning except to connote "bad"
we're not going to fix any of the fucked up shit about our foodways, our health care, or how we relate to our bodies by replicating the same buzzwords of shame and fear that MAHA is repeating to spread fascist ideals. stop creating gray areas about where your sympathies lie.
