This guy is quietly excluding the press and being combative with them. I’m seeing the aim of Trump with Canadian implementation—backroom behind the scenes
The press is a fundamental pillar of democracy and he’s skillfully shutting it down

The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed.

Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”?

In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

OpenAI begins to look like a spectacular case of self-enshittification:

kbsutt.bsky.social @kbsutt.bsky.social · 1h

1) OpenAI is a highly reckless and irresponsible company driven by its CEO’s ambition and ego

2) this company is desperate for revenue after announcing hundreds of billions of dollars of “deals” as if they are revenue, when in fact they are costs

3) I predict this will not go well

"So what do you suggest we do to fight Trump?"

Find people in your community who need help, and help them. We all have skills. Maybe it's giving rides to people who don't have cars. Maybe it's going to the grocery store so your immigrant or racialized neighbors don't have to when ICE is around.

these ai coding platforms made the mistake of trying to use a subscription model for something that lights up the same dopamine receptors as gambling. all genAI has some RNG baked in, so you end up with users rerunning prompts to get a good result like they're pulling the lever on a slot machine.

respirators are means of liberation; maintaining health by protecting our lungs from airborne irritants, be they allergens, smoke, pathogens.

this modern, multi-use tool is the thing you’re looking for. it shows others, as we go about our days, that things are not normal, that they could be better.

bats 🦇✨ @itsbabs.bsky.social · Jun 14

normalize respirators in your daily life. when you do, when you see the choice to use a personal air filter as more akin to sunglasses (worn by all, often for fashion regardless of ocular welfare) than, say, a cast (indicative of active health concerns, often not a choice), all around you benefit.

It has to be so perplexing to these guys when one of them follows the blueprint but some vestigial organ of a functioning society notices they're constantly doing crimes and tries to hold them accountable. They reasonably believed that wasn't a thing anymore!
