It’s unbelievable that the dystopias of fiction were all too optimistic in how deep America would go

"Now, who leaves a selfie stick in a graveyard!?"

Art by @asphodelles.bsky.social ✨
Black, white, and gray comic art of seven humans, one cat, and one sea creature. The humans are of different skin tones and clothing from eras ranging from 1800s-present. The cat is cradled in the arms of a girl who is holding a selfie stick for their group shot at the edge of the harbour in Wellington. Behind them, the sea creature, a giant feminine person, is grinning and making "chaka" hand signs -- she is happy.

One problem with all the “AGI” discourse is that “AGI” isn’t actually defined.

Someone tried recently … and predictably it didn’t go well. Join us for the next Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 livestream, in which @alexhanna.bsky.social and I dig into the attempt:

In a 24-hour span, Trump spouts vile racism about Somalis, SCOTUS reinstates Texas’s racially gerrymandered maps, the Pentagon murders more black or brown fishermen—makes you wonder whether there’s some ugly unifying principle at work here

If ICE agents come onto my campus, or the campus of K-12 schools, I want the school to use active shooter protocols: lock them out, hide the kids and staff, and call the police to inform them of armed gunmen on campus.

During this busiest shopping period of the year, we’re hitting pause on purchases from Home Depot, Target, and Amazon. Let’s make our dollars count by refusing to support corporations complicit in Trump’s authoritarian power grab: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky
(next to a crossed out Home Depot logo) “Home Depot has allowed its parking lots to become ground zero for ICE raids on immigrant day laborers, and its billionaire co-founder Bernie Marcus has funneled millions into Trump's campaigns.” (next to a crossed out Target logo) “Target, which once branded itself as the friendly, inclusive big-box store, has now scrapped its DEl goals and scaled back LGBTQ+ offerings to avoid angering the regime.” (next to a crossed out Amazon logo) “Amazon didn't just shower Trump's inauguration with cash -- Jeff Bezos' company pitched facial-recognition tools to ICE and powers the Palantir systems ICE uses to track and deport immigrants, making Amazon a core contractor for the regime's deportation machine.”

Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes

1/2
• If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a “non-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to “kill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give “no quarter,” and to “double-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes. • If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder. Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads: Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are “patently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
