Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

Meta *literally just* fired 3600 people earlier this year so they could "focus on AI," and now they're firing *600* of their "AI" people? That does Not sound like a company that knows what the fuck it's doing.

ChatGPT’s new Atlas browser doesn’t just see what you read — it remembers it.

@eff.org’s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged “memories” of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctor’s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

My @washingtonpost.com column: wapo.st/49bOcVC

Column | ChatGPT just came out with its own web browser. Use it with caution.

OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store “memories” of what you do online.

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo it’s true you’re not a secret Nazi. You’re an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says “I’m a Nazi.”

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

the ruling class doesn't care about Democracy and fairness for average Americans, they care about keeping us malleable and poor.

tweet from Aninta Zsurzsan reading "I need people to understand how much the ruling class hates us, because whenever a candidate is running on a platform promising rent control and accessible public transit, they spend tens of millions preventing them from winning. This isn't economic realism but pure class hatred."
