People in Gaza are still in need of help to meet their basic necessities.

Please kick them a few bucks if you can.

Bigger actions than occasional protest marches are needed when facing the prospect of long term minority rule.

If only people cared or understood or cared to understand what's going on.

Love how AI means that there are now medical websites that discuss health stats in video games as though they're real:

Blood Loss Recovery in Different Scenarios
RimWorld Blood Loss Recovery

In the popular game “RimWorld,” blood loss recovery is a mechanic where characters heal based on rest and medical treatment. Although fictional, it emphasizes real-world truths:

Rest is crucial
Medical interventions speed recovery
Nutrition impacts healing rate

These principles apply outside the game too!
DayZ Blood Loss Recovery

Similarly, in “DayZ,” managing blood loss involves immediate action:

Bandaging wounds to stop further loss
Rehydration and nutrition to boost regeneration

Hello to all my friends, we are alive, we are still struggling to live, and here is my son Ashraf playing in the tent. I hope to build him a beautiful future away from wars. The war has exhausted us and destroyed all our ambitions. I hope you will support us and stand by us.🙏❤️‍🩹😔

Amazing Digital Carcass @amagire.bsky.social · 3d

get the impression that the answer to "if 'AI' can never flip burgers, sew a t-shirt, pick strawberries or wipe an old person's ass, does that mean that is the critical work that defines humanity and everyone who has that kind of job deserves to be compensated extremely well?" is "also, somehow: no"

Isn't AI currently *exacerbating* our existing resource scarcity?

And this is going to change.... How?

Joe Uchill @joeuchill.bsky.social · 3d

Musk talks about AI bringing about the end of many kinds of resource scarcity. Our entire society - its laws and incentive structures and the very concept of ownership - is based around scarcity.

If AI success in imminent, we need like an entire new society ready to launch.

Imagine being displaced because your home is destroyed, needing to live in a tent, and then being forced to pay to rent the land your tent is on. This is the reality in Gaza.

Help Ghadeer bring the miracle of life into the world, even among the destruction.

Weiss's ascendance represents the need for the wealth class to continue moving rightward as capitalism requires fascism. Individuals like Klein are there to help moderate white liberals begin to accept that "necessity." That's how this whole thing works and has always worked.

Somehow I missed the fact that the house of a judge who ruled against DJT was set ablaze... Her husband needed to jump out a windows to survive.

Diane Goodstein, 69, was out walking on the beach when the suspected arson attack happened - just weeks after she had issued a decisive ruling against the Trump administration.

Lately I have been donating more money than I am making, and I have my own severe health situation that is very expensive.

If you have some extra money (maybe from canceling a streaming service??), please consider donating.

Lex @lynxx.bsky.social · 10d

If you have a few extra dollars in your pocket, you can make a difference in someone's life.

Pregnancy is difficult under any conditions; in Gaza now it is almost unthinkable.

Help a mother bring her baby into the world. Help her survive long enough to do so. 🕊️

Fascism is here, it’s just not evenly distributed. Both documented & undocumented immigrants are definitely deleting their socials and keeping heads down at the risk of being disappeared.

While the average white American citizen isn’t being oppressed by the government. It doesn’t mean no one is.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 12d

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

shane @mouthfulofcavities.bsky.social · 12d

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

Creatives aren't anti-technology. They are anti-THEFT! Especially when the people stealing from them have millions and they don't even know how they are going to make rent if they can't get another gig.

Perhaps controversial:

People in Gaza are better helped by your direct donations than by donating to legal funds for activists

They truly believe that if they can control the media, education, science, health, and the military, they'll control it all and stamp out dissent.

If they read US history, they'd know we've been here before... and it led to mass movements and social change that shook this country and the world.

This is the company who installs microphones in poor areas to provide police legal cover for harassing--or even shooting--residents.

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · 14d

Ads reveal that Flock, makers of automated license plate readers and other surveillance technology, are promising to introduce "Distress detection" into their gunshot detection devices which will alert police when it hears human voices in distress, including screaming.

www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

An add that says "Safety you can see and now hear: Detect sounds of human distress and cover the blind stops that cameras miss with Distress Detection" with an alert that says "screaming" and an address.
