Among the litany of evil things AI has done, attempting to appropriate disability needs as a shield has to be quite up there. AI money could have made mass accessibility, could have covered everyone's healthcare, etc. The people who run AI love eugenics enough they can't stop talking about it.

I think a good way to think about the current moment is understanding white supremacy as a spectrum with passive acceptance as the status quo out to actively arguing for global genocide.
One of the hardest things to teach people is that white supremacy doesn't require racial hatred to keep itself going, and this thread kind of does a good job at pointing out how and why that happens.

A dystopian-but-inevitable side effect of both R and D Supreme Courts, over decades, totally obliterating the Fourth Amendment Cops are great
Atleast I’m Enjoying The Ride@guyforgetghost.bsky.social · 5h agoRIGHT HERE. EXACTLY THIS⁉️⁉️ THIS IS THE STORY….that should illustrate quite clearly HOW FUCKED this is & their use. They used the tracked trips to then leverage for probable cause. What in the entire fuck? @gregdoucette.bsky.social You see this? 👀
You cannot make mass surveillance "safe" or "good" by adding more guardrails. The only way to make Flock safe is to get rid of Flock. www.gpb.org/news/2026/08...
Analysis: More 'guardrails' needed to prevent police misuse of Flock cameras
Inappropriate use of Flock cameras by law enforcement officials have raised questions about how much surveillance is too much.

Apple's ‘Private Relay’ Is Exposing Users’ Real IP Addresses
Researchers found a group of issues that mean Private Relay isn't actually protecting users' real IP addresses. 404 Media verified the issues do expose IP addresses.

For uneducated Americans only (because almost everyone else in the world knows this already): "Inshallah" is not a Muslim phrase. Inshallah is an Arabic phrase. Christians that speak Arabic, say inshallah. "Allah" is how you say God in Arabic. "Inshallah" is how you say "God willing" in Arabic.
This is a great thread. Obviously, different game goals give you different GM needs to meet, but that said, I think fundamentally it comes down to two broad things: - Feeding the players' imaginations - Creating space and spotlight to make choices, stories, whatever the input the game demands.
Sean Nittner@seannittner.bsky.social · 6h agoA friend asked me what makes a good GM. It’s a personal question as difficult to answer as “what makes good art?” I don’t have the definitive answer, but I do have an answer. A good GM invests in the characters and shows how their actions change the world, e.g @juddthelibrarian.bsky.social

I was thinking about the Zeekr MIX today, and I got irritated all over again we are getting screwed here in the USA, y'all
we need a national task force on America's dangerous and growing decline in van technology

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 20h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

my ketamine basically came with instructions to log off for a while and chill out on the days you take it, i really don't think we can put it on ketamine that he did not follow those

At the time, medical authorities said "If any of this works, it'll look like we overreacted," and yep, here we are.
Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 7h agoMAGA/MAHA sycophants now claim that because mitigation measures worked 6 years ago, this is proof they were unnecessary. The stupid, it burns.

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 20h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Just a quick reminder, if you put AltText on your image and video posts. People (and you) who are searching can find those images! Extra bonus; if people have those subjects blocked or muted, they don't have to see things they don't wanna see!
like, imagine everything you’d need for a city — power, water, waste, infrastructure — and then you get a clearer picture of just how staggeringly full of shit this is.
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 8h agoi would feel bad for the planner trying to figure out PM schedules for factories on the moon except i know they’re not paying anyone to do that because none of this is real
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
If you'd like something even more dangerous, our archive is so old that we don't use these fancy modern rolling stacks. Ours are attached to a motorised chain that runs the length of the room. This means sometimes they like to move by themselves just a little, enough to keep you on edge.

Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.

diabetes was a death sentence 40 years ago, now its a thing you manage with a pill or a pump and get on with living a solid 7+ decade life
