Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Sewage is dumping into the Potomac again because a giant clump of non-flusable wipes broke the pumps that were pumping sewage away from the broken pipe that caused the initial leak.

"'She is dead,'" Officer Auderer told Officer Solan, before bursting out laughing.
"'No, it’s a regular person,' Officer Auderer said, adding: 'Yeah, just write a check — $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.'"

Disabled American citizen arrested by ICE:
"It's horrific, horrific scenes in there. There are black and brown people shackled and chained together... I ended up on the floor of a cold concrete cell that has no toilet, no bed, no blanket... We're not safe. This can't go on."

Hearing “Scotch” wrt a type of human being is a lowest priority racial slur but it still strikes me like nails on a chalkboard every time I hear it, and none moreso than when a fucking Nazi is using it to try to bolster white supremacy

I'm just going to say a thing.
What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

Also I’m sorry but I don’t think this is Claude developing a personality or ethical values. It is *simulating* those things because that is what humans value and reward. The programmers are falling for their own Clever Hans trick!

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?"
Because folks don't actually want to discuss AI, they want blind submission to the ideological structures that motivate the contemporary use cases and deployments of AI. They don't want to hear the concerns except to dismiss them out of hand.

Fascists respond to accusations of hypocrisy the way a human responds to a dog begging for people food. It is worth pointing out because we are not dogs but don’t expect any self-reflection from them about it.

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

i think about this constantly. tradwife culture absolutely is a kink and no one will acknowledge that it's basically a 24/7 BDSM arrangement but done in an extremely unsafe and dangerous way.
kinksters who can't/won't acknowledge they're participating in kink are a huge social problem right now, imo. ai gooners, trad influencers and breeding-obsessed politicians are all (among other things) perverts who insist they hate perverts.
