this thanksgiving i'd like to atone for one of my greatest regrets: as a kid back in the 90s, i participated in a MST3K tape trade, but did not mail my side of the exchange. sorry to you, friend, wherever you are, and keep circulating the tapes

Migrants at a Miami immigration prison have been compelled to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs,” with their hands tied behind their backs.

These ICE officials need to go straight to The Hague.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates “like dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities. The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

office cliches
Comic headline: "Improve office communication by replacing tired cliches!" Panel 1 (with an "X" for "don't do this"): an office drone holding a coffee cup says "I'll circle back to you with those data points later". Panel 2 (with an arrow and an "O" for "do this instead"): a wizard says "All will be revealed in the fullness of time." Panel 3: (don't do this): A different office drone points at a chart and says "Fourth quarter revenue is in line with projections from our spreadsheet" Panel 4: (do this instead): The wizard waves his staff at the same chart and says "It is just as prophecy foretold!" Panel 5: ("don't do this"): different office drone says "This meeting could have been an email" Panel 6 ("do this instead"): the wizard looks all menacing and there's lightning in the background. he says "You dare summon me from my tower for such trifles?"

don't tell me it's exponential if you can't put numbers on it
Comic panel 1: A tech CEO guy (bald, black turtleneck) stands in front of a giant screen showing a giant chart. The chart shows an exponential curve going up and to the right. The x-axis is labeled "year" going from 1995 to 2030. The y-axis is labeled "intelligence" and is a series of words - from bottom to top: "Bug", "Lizard", "Dog", "Toddler", "Dolphin", "High Schooler", "PhD", "Einstein", "Superhuman", "God", "Supergod" The CEO is looking smug and pointing. he says "This evidence shows irrefutably that the intelligence of AI is on an exponential curve. By 2026 it will replace all human workers and by 2030 replace God. Any questions?" Panel 2: I am in the audience. I raise my hand and ask "Yeah I have a question: what units is your Y-axis in?" Panel 3: the CEO looks evasive and says "It's, uh... and ordinal heuristic metric of smartitude". I pound my palm with my other fist and shout "WHAT. UNITS. MOTHERFUCKER?"

I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for.

And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel.

I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

we are not, in fact, "about to get AGI"
edzitron.com Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · Mar 4
Ezra Klein may be the single most credulous dope in the world. Deep Research is total crap, and a "former AI expert to the Biden white house" spouting fan fiction about AGI is useless, wasteful and only seeks to help valuations of AI companies. Despicable.

For the last couple of months, I have had this strange experience: Person after person — from artificial intelligence labs, from government — has been coming to me saying: It’s really about to happen. We’re about to get to artificial general intelligence. What they mean is that they have believed, for a long time, that we are on a path to creating transformational artificial intelligence capable of doing basically anything a human being could do behind a computer — but better. They thought it would take somewhere from five to 15 years to develop. But now they believe it’s coming in two to three years, during Donald Trump’s second term. They believe it because of the products they’re releasing right now and what they’re seeing inside the places they work. And I think they’re right. If you’ve been telling yourself this isn’t coming, I really think you need to question that. It’s not web3. It’s not vaporware. A lot of what we’re talking about is already here, right now. I think we are on the cusp of an era in human history that is unlike any of the eras we have experienced before. And we’re not prepared in part because it’s not clear what it would mean to prepare. We don’t know what this will look like, what it will feel like. We don’t know how labor markets will respond. We don’t know which country is going to get there first. We don’t know what it will mean for war. We don’t know what it will mean for peace. I recently used Deep Research, which is a new OpenAI product. It’s on their pricier tier. Most people, I think, have not used it. But it can build out something that’s more like a scientific analytical brief in a matter of minutes. I work with producers on the show. I hire incredibly talented people to do very demanding research work. And I asked Deep Research to do this report on the tensions between the Madisonian Constitutional system and the highly polarized nationalized parties we now have. And what it produced in a matter of minutes was at least the median of what any of the teams I’ve worked with on this could produce within days. I’ve talked to a number of people at firms that do high amounts of coding, and they tell me that by the end of this year or next year they expect most code will not be written by human beings. I don’t really see how this cannot have labor market impact. I think that’s right. I’m not a labor market economist, but I think that the systems are extraordinarily capable. In some ways, I’m very fond of the quote: The future is already here — it’s just unevenly distributed. Unless you are engaging with this technology, you probably don’t appreciate how good it is today. And it’s important to recognize that today is the worst it’s ever going to be. It’s only going to get better.

"omg did you know they cant look up pictures of tiananmen square"

Trump thinks anyone protesting must be from another country when the right and will to protest our own government is a foundational American value.
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump 6m All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Germany, 1935. A German man in a bow tie and bowler hat reads a newsspaper to another German man and says "shit, looks like they got the socialists." he reads more "...AND the freakin' trade unionists? The Jews too?" The man crumples up the newspaper and says "wow that's a lot of people. He points to himself and says "they won't get me though. I'm too awesome." A mustachioed man next to him nods in agreement.
