I am mystified by the people who just leap out of bed to exercise first thing in the morning. Quite aside from the fact that I'd rather be sleeping, my knees don't even work until I've had a shower, breakfast, coffee, and been up for at least an hour! 😝

It’s a murderous hate rally, which mainstream media not only has no problem with, they won’t even report on it.

This is stochastic terrorism. Ted Cruz is an extremist encouraging violence.

That last one was me. I was in a bustling second grade classroom with the unvaxxed rubella spreader, and my teacher asked me to share my books for the day, so the entire day, she was right there. Sharing. The first may also have been a factor! We don’t know, because we were poor and bloods were $!

MMR is 97% effective. BUT: - Some may not mount a robust enough immune response to vax for a variety of reasons - Protection CAN wane if there's been a major immune disruption, though this is rare - Most pertinent: intense, prolonged exposure to someone with measles can supersede protection

I think it's more comforting for some people to think of OBL as some evil genius or tragic victim of imperialism rather than a bog standard delusional ideologically extremist billionaire failson who thought he could accellerationism his way to a theocratic utopia

NEW: Meta is facing a proposed class action alleging it used Facebook and Insta photos to build its NameTag face-recognition system and train AI models without consent. WIRED found code for NameTag hidden inside Meta’s AI app downloaded by tens of millions. Meta said the feature “doesn’t exist.”

I’m sorry but the idea that Democrats will prosecute people later over actions they won’t even loudly criticize now is absurd.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.

Alaa is posting lectures today if anyone cares for some brief but searing lessons #mamatwins (to support her, see the link in her pinned post. she really needs the help. but share it separately to protect her account!)

Iran has not forgotten that date. The United States has not remembered it. This is about a country that memorializes its own grief while turning the grief it inflicts on others into a footnote.

I am only asking that life remain the measure. That we ask ourselves: What can I do now? Maybe it is a donation, a voice, a stance, pressure, a boycott, or simply helping another human being stay alive. “Each of us can do something” is not a beautiful phrase to me.

😬 You also gotta wonder whether COVID immune damage is playing a role.

BREAKING: Pennsylvania reports 4 FULLY vaccinated cases of measles. While it is rare, it can happen and what makes this even stranger is it is from 4 different counties. This goes to show if you get a big outbreak of measles going, it can still happen in rare cases.

"Why would companies buy GPU's they have no intention of deploying?" Same reason private equity buys housing they have no intention of renting. That's the thing about PE, it destroys everything - it's just rent-seeking. PE is actually the Paperclip Maximizer that these guys say we should fear.

Omg Crowley is going to lose this election on the data center issue isn't he. Nevermind the fact that Tiffany is lying though his teeth, his answers were succinct, & he actually called for a moratorium in all but name. Crowley needs to cut the wishy-washy, consultant-brained data center support asap

Wisconsin State Journal@madison.com · last wk.

It’s an issue that could play a key role in the Nov. 3 general election. Public animosity toward data centers continues to rise in Wisconsin, according to statewide polling.

Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

Let's just take all the AI people at their word that they're building unstoppable "kill all humans" machines and instead of giving them more money and building more data centers we imprison all the CEO's for attempted murder

Liberals see this and still think they're going to stop fascism by voting.

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not laziness or a lack of effort. It’s a part of the human condition. People get sick. Bodies break down. It’s a minority group you can join any time.

Russ Feingold was right all along.

Trump's attacks on our civil liberties didn't come out of nowhere. The groundwork for his Orwellian surveillance state was laid by the post-9/11 PATRIOT Act. Only one Senator at the time had the foresight to see what it would unleash.

R.I.P to the first responders who dug for bodies in the rubble of the Twin Towers, and then had the government turn their backs on them when they got cancer from breathing in the air, and needed help with medical bills. They made the ultimate sacrifice to give victims families closure.

R.I.P to the thousands of Americans killed on 9/11, And to the millions and millions of others in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Philippines, etc. that died as a result of George W. Bushes illegal War on Terror (and those who were displaced because of it).

Hey. Something enormous is being built in Kansas City out of public view. The government is building a massive new multi-agency immigration complex: a new Immigration Court, a huge ICE/OPLA office, a new USCIS “Kansas City Mission Center,” and CISA space, all in the same building. I got the plans.🧵

Obviously dumbing it down a lot, but that’s the part of this stupid centrist logic that always gets me. Republicans have proposed a facially horrible thing, and Democrats think “well WE think only 25% of that horrible thing is okay and we support it” and thinks that makes them appealing somehow.

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people

Is it a good sign when the military is soliciting ideas from random people on social media sites 7 months into a war

we don’t teach young people short-term history, so it was weird when i realized that gen z had no idea that so many gen x and millennials spent our high school years protesting george w bush and not just because of the wars, but because mosques were being targeted and sikh men were being attacked

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
