It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

This is so profoundly disturbing. Pull the plug on all ai not directly related to science and medicine.
Genuinely find this upsetting to watch.
It’s the live and mass violation of women for daring to exist outside the narrow confines of a controlled and sexualised plaything for men

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:

This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

I came across this from that other place, written 12 days after J6 and two days before Trump was evicted and Biden took over. We are in the trouble we’re in because Trump was not held accountable for his crimes, particularly inciting a ldeadly insurrection. Accountability is key for our future.

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

There are very few “trends” I would care to revisit from 2020. I hope my justice-focused and confrontational friends can resist the bait of escalation. This is all the twisted distraction of a psychopath.

The first privately developed U.S. nuclear enrichment facility is going to be built in Paducah, Kentucky at the site of a former nuclear fuel plant.
The US government is now allowing a private citizen to enrich uranium, aka nuclear bombs.
That private citizen is "destroy humanity" Peter Thiel.

David Brooks is Communist Manifesto posting, Harvard is antifascist now, Bill Kristol is a Bernie Bro now, SCOTUS is releasing emergency panic judgments, Frank fucking Luntz is in the NYT today extolling the virtues of empathy.

Oh, and let’s not forget that not only was a reporter on there that shouldn’t have been, but so was a guy that wasn’t even yet confirmed as a nominee.
So Joe Kent also didn’t have security clearance. Did he?

Just left a voicemail for my representative @gluesenkampperez.house.gov expressing my disgust over her voting to censure @algreen.house.gov. Rep. Green’s truth to power on Wednesday should be held up as inspiration, not admonished with performative pearl-clutching. More #goodtrouble please.

I once dated a dude who confessed he got bilked out of like, $1500 bucks in Vegas because he and the stripper he really connected with were “just talking” in the champagne room and he didn’t realize the meter was running. I told him he shouldn’t tell that story on dates anymore.
