Fun fact characters with the Gender Non-conforming or Transgender trait on their sheet will sustain 5 points of PSY damage when this happens to them
I'm so glad we can churn shit like this out on an hourly basis, used to be if I wanted to see a video of a celebrity putting their arm around their younger self and looking at the camera dead behind the eyes I'd need a professional.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately.

The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.
90 day suspension of US tourist visas and this is all over

Extraordinary article from the Secretary General of the Council of Europe. But I’m going to say this again, where are the Democrats saying that any illegal or forced annexation of Greenland will be reversed as soon as they take power. Why aren’t they making this clear www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.

WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?

Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

one really great thing about AI sales reachouts is that you can hallucinate yourself into opportunities

their sales bot: "It was great talking with you at the event dinner yesterday!"

"Yeah, great meeting! I'm really excited by your proposal to work together. Let's hop on a call to discuss a PoC!"

Been on a transhumanism, futurism, AI, and philosophy of tech reading binge and now I'm reading Heidegger, and philosophers are so funny.

...To answer the question of the meaning and purpose and values of technology, first we must answer the question of what becoming means...

This is also why I've been mostly uninterested in alignment work. I'm not sure why the technical problem is interesting when the "alignment to whom" question just overrides everything

“Before it gets that far” kinda implies “I’m fine with what’s currently happening”
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"
