Social media can push us to the dark side, with negative content. A new study finds watching inspiring videos for just 3 minutes a day is on par with meditation for boosting mood and reducing stress.

Got 3 minutes? This habit may help boost hope and reduce stress

Watching as a guy like Nick Fuentes has built himself into a major force for right-wing politics has been wild. I wonder if TIME hadn't interviewed him years ago after the Unite the Right rally, boosting his profile, if he'd still have become famous.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

It is Saturday so lots of men on LinkedIn who are not recruiters are telling me a recruiter how recruiting works.

I love that so much!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

It’s also concerning. 1/

Meredith Whittaker @meredithmeredith.bsky.social · 13d

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

The racists among us aren't just sitting in some trailers somewhere. They're doctors, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, cops, federal agents, lawmakers, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, and any other profession you can think of.

They are in every aspect of society.

I like to lump a lot of this behavior as domination/supremacy thinking.

He took a turn for sure.

Lisa Rokusek @lisarokusek.bsky.social · 7d

Self loathing is a central part of supremacy/domination thinking.
If you hate who you are it is very difficult to accept other people. Almost impossible to appreciate difference as a rich source of strength.
Understanding that does not mean I see them as less dangerous. They are dangerous.
