Wait.

WAIT.

People are advising that if things get violent during the No Kings protest you should sit down and show the police you’re not a threat?

Are you trying to get trampled or impede other people’s ability to safely remove themselves from the situation?! Cause that’s what you’re doing!

In my little town it drew 1 in 6 people to the park. Our mutual aid group saw a marked rise in interest and membership. It energized many to get, and stay, involved in the work. We are planning on a bigger event tomorrow! Be the change you want to see in the world.

I couldn't disagree with this statement more if my life depended on it. A vast majority of those in black bloc are there to help anyone protesting against fascism. Mostly medics and people wishing to remain anonymous, honestly some of the best people you will ever meet. Try talking with them!

Nothing, Keith. Absolutely nothing.

Wake the fuck up. General strike and flood the streets daily. This fascist regime already has too much power, the people rejecting it forcefully is the only way this ends. A deployment of a few hundred troops effectively means nothing against 1,000,000+ people. There are a lot more of us than them.

Just watched a Pierce Morgan argument generator episode from earlier this week. 4 on 1 against @wajali.bsky.social who held his own. A lot of the criticism was around the left calling maga fascists and nazis.

Yeah, we are calling you fascists because you do fascist things, call a spade a spade...

DiscoMonster @montbrown.bsky.social · 22d

Maybe, just maybe, if the current regime stopped acting like committed fascists, we would stop appropriately labeling them as such.

"violence against the truth"

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 23d

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

Just watched the film "Koyaanisquatsi" for the first time. Deeply impactful. Released in 1982, the title is a Hopi word meaning a state of life that calls for another way of living. The first part of a trilogy I can't wait to complete. Free on YouTube.

Truth bomb‼️

This man should be the one speaking on college campuses…

“They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.”

📌 White and delighted to post. I love how the moderator starts to unravel. You do not get to have an opinion about history; similarly, you do not get to argue the order of operations in math - not successfully, anyway.

Every person who says "of course there are some uses for LLMs" should be forced to immediately list what those uses are, taking into account that:

a) they cannot be accurate and there is no way to make them accurate

b) they have been repeatedly shown to make users dumber and worse at their jobs
