Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Let it be known that @bitocrosszer.bsky.social was kidnapped by ICE after attending a mandatory appointment, and taken to a jail out in Las Vegas because he has immigration lawyers out here in Boise. He has a severe seizure disorder, ADHD and autism and I fear that they knew this.

Growing up I used to believe that if somebody was truly fucking horrible at their job they would be fired. These last few years have really proven me wrong and Bluesky mods, yourself very much included, are all shining examples of this insane phenomenon.

I don't go around saying everyone should quit their jobs working for the tech billionaires who are so explicitly pro genocide, racial segregation, and political violence because I think it is not so simple, on average. But then I quit my job in fossil fuels 13 years ago. Maybe it is that simple.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to add value.

bill kristol is scoring off of the democratic house minority leader from the left. and he's right.
I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

I regretted for years that I didn't apply to Caltech for college. Not anymore though!
So.... anyone who failed to get into CalTech can throw away the chip on their shoulder.

I feel for students. For decades people in leadership positions have F*CKED the world for them in every possible way: climate, information, politics, education, healthcare, liveable wages, dignity.

Shameful.

Turning Point USA is funded by Visa and Mastercard — those payment processors appear on its donation page.

Visa and Mastercard are currently censoring art and media for crimes like “having cat ears.”

TPUSA is currently advocating for bullying teachers and children.

I already dedicate my life to photographing and documenting our vanishing biodiversity, in a desperate attempt to help save some part of it. It would be life-changing to be able to do this without struggling to afford rent and food every month.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Gentle reminder that if you're inviting someone over, either let them bring their own food or prepare something they can eat. And ffs DON'T SNEAK INGREDIENTS INTO THINGS AS A "JOKE." You can literally kill someone.

great point here - fucking hire someone! Go on Fiverr, talk to your friends, form a coalition of people to hire a CPA, whatever

again - IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT WITHOUT USING GENAI, DO NOT DO IT.

CUT SOMETHING ELSE SO YOU CAN AFFORD AN ACCOUNTANT.

this is not hard!!!
Solidarity? When you defend the tool stealing your "comrades"'s livelihoods? So you can avoid "tedium" while my industry implodes?

Pay a fuckin assistant if busywork is so hard, dude. Lift someone else up instead of giving $20/mo to the richest assholes on the planet.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.

Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.

But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?

No.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.
