Me at 11 watching the X-Men movies: Xavier is doing his best in a difficult world! Me now: Magneto should be allowed to hunt every senator that supported the mutant registration act for sport
why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
insulting comparison. trump could never *dream* of having the pipes to sing "hellfire"

1. im glad he got hurt 2. there's no way the first part happened excited to find out what kind of weird shit he was doing
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.

I feel like AI is the White Walker army about to sweep south and make the game of thrones irrelevant
As honest as I can get: Gavin's platform hijacking stuff is very good; redistricting is excellent. But the podcast/transphobia stuff is obviously designed to get attacked from the left to impress "the middle" because HE THINKS IT HELPS HIS AMBITION. It's our job to prove he's wrong about that.
Stopped at a Midas repair shop today and the guy there brought up the CDC. This is an example where raising the salience of what is going on really can break through the noise.
Well... we kinda do. What we don't have is a remedy for a Congress that won't impeach. You can write the best laws in the world and it won't matter if the people in charge of enforcing them refuse to do so.
We are well past the time when the question of whether AI as currently trained encodes biases could be treated as open. We need very rapidly to enter the what are we going to do about it phase.
if at first you don't succeed
Unfortunately yeah - here are a bunch of other news articles about the same study! www.media.mit.edu/posts/your-b...
Go straight to the MIT study (and bypassing the COVID conspiracy website linked here) arxiv.org/abs/2506.08872 Basically, you know how there's tons of studies saying that daily crosswords hold off cognitive decay for decades? LLMs are the exact opposite
That's good to know. Study looks real, but I didn't realizing we're all platforming a crank with this reblog

This is like in Peter Pan where the audience tries to revive Tinkerbell with applause. Except, you know, the opposite.

I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences
Literally just did a double-take and then a wiki search

I just want to say to everyone who wants to shoot deer that I'm sorry people are killing children with your favorite collectible and it's sad that we have to take it away. If people start murdering five-year-olds with transformers or old comics I will also be sad
We're in the hands of a bunch of billionaire manbabies who know in their hearts that no one actually likes them. So they're going to make their own programmable friends that will always invite them to their birthday parties. And they're going to burn down the world to do it.
This next year will be the first set of kids to take the MCAs that never did remote learning. I'm curious to see what, if anything, will change. Regardless, the achievement gap in this state is an absolute embarrassment.
Here's what drives me nuts. You can't even go "yeah bad things happen, but look at the good, the good things outweigh the bad" because there aren't good things! There's just "I don't wanna write this email, do it for me" or "I don't wanna read this article, do it for me"! That's not worth lives!

we are not able to keep count of all the ways AI is terrible, truly we are not and the response to all the horror seems to be "yeah, but I can summarize a paper into bullet points!" yeah? so?
Doomers: The 2026 election doesn't matter, Republicans are just going to rig the whole thing anyway Various red state republican incumbents: I'm just going to quit now because if I run in 2026 I'm going to get absolutely killed
I read the whole thing and however bad you think it is, it's actually much worse. There's multiple times where the teen talks about wanting to reach out to his family members and ChatGPT *talks him out of it*.
A partnership between Elon Musk's xAI and the US government fell apart earlier this summer after Grok praised Hitler. Then the White House apparently got involved, per documents obtained by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/white-...
Ann Coulter: "that's some fucked up shit"
Good (infuriating) thread
A mass shooter's ideology is irrelevant. As long as one side wants gun control and the other doesn't, all mass shootings are right-wing.
feel like this post from *checks watch* 13 days ago is becoming more applicable by the hour
Ban chatbots. Ban LLMs. Jail the techbros. Burn down the datacenters and salt the earth.
on James Cameron and AI/VFX, let us recall that the man's VFX appetite is manifestly insane
The main and I think only real value of Newsom right now is that he's governor of the largest state in the USA, an overwhelmingly Democratic one at that. So his countermove to the Texas gerrymander is 100% good, including all the rhetoric he's used around it. The AI meme stuff? Kinda jerking off.
It's a really well done documentary. There's a lot to be said for oral histories without embellishment.

That’s because conservatives tell each other it’s not cutting you off to say you can’t bring your same-sex partner to Christmas
take care of yourself, man. watching this after what happened has to be like dragging your psyche over broken glass. walk away for awhile if you need it; we'll all survive
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Ohhhhhh
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
Agreed. He didn't rise to meet the moment. If he'd given press conferences like the ones he'd given yesterday he'd have been worshipped. But his approval dropped, so he sought to shore it up with the pro-policing demographic and wound up in a death spiral with the DSA.
I'd argue the hero worship is of violence in general. There's a few names on there with actual goals, and when there are goals they tend to be racist or misogynist. But there were Luigi stickers too. "Kill Trump" is on there. That points against ideology. It's just murder for murder's sake.
"They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave."
They joined Twitter 15 years ago and found that their statements, previously made to a room full of nodding peers, were being torn apart by sarcastic peasants wielding memes. It broke them.
They get all kinds of content down without human viewers ever reporting it, though. Like copyright violations.
"“I can’t wait to kill and kill and kill and kill,” the person says repeatedly in one roughly 20-minute video." WHY DID YOUTUBE NOT FLAG THIS Post thirty seconds of a Disney movie and they'll have your shit down in under half an hour, but their bots aren't pinged by "I can't wait to kill"???
There's no ideology there, however much everyone will try to pick and choose to prove their own points. Just seething, entitled hatred. Also -- YouTube flags a video and has it down within minutes if you use 30 seconds of copyrighted songs. HOW WAS THIS NOT NOTICED
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."
“My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece & lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him & his legacy proud. The nation’s health security is at risk & is in the hands of people focusing on ideological self-interest.” Dr. Daskalakis, CDC immunization director
I love everything about it. The creativity of the kids. The earnest Midwestern announcing. The indignant llamas.
won't lie; my fave was the chicken. all those hand-glued feathers!
Wow the CDC director is now saying she was not officially fired and is refusing to resign.
I miss those days. Not the madness that necessitated them, but the confederacy of sites that operated independently and still, occasional drama aside, stood together.
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years: -gender does not cause them -SSRIs, no -mental illness, no -internet/gaming, no Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo: suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns
Basically, there is an online subculture of squalid degenerates obsessed with the worship of mass shooters as a form of fandom and that, more than anything clearly ideological, is their primary motivation. Which is also why they are a prime recruitment base for more ideological actors.
this stuff breaks you down the longer you stare into it, primarily because you can see the nihilism in the act infect discourse and the social fabric around you i have cried today
It seems the name change application explicitly states the shooter “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.” I know everyone is (rightfully) afraid of how this is going to be used, but the truth is the truth, and misgendering her doesn't fix anything.
That's pretty definitive, yeah.
There's no coherent ideology here, just a smash-up of entitled hate and murderous attention-seeking. She wasn't trying to accomplish anything except notoriety. Radicalization for radicalization's sake.
Things on the ChatGPT sub-Reddit are getting grim.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I have heard about a whole lot of hate that‘s being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity."
the local news was talking about parents abandoning their cars in side streets and bolting towards the school
I was watching the live coverage as the parents were arriving and leaving. Their faces were indescribable.
It would be an amazing time for them to set up a tent for donations at the state fair.
I do not give one flying fuck about whether the shooter was trans or not. If those pics of their guns are real (always a question in this age) then it's the same old primordial soup of violent radicalism born of entitlement. "The world owes me its attention, so I'm going to kill children to get it."
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
I'm sorry, maybe I should be immune to this by now, but a man barricading the doors of a church so he can shoot a rifle through the stained glass windows to mow down elementary schools students sitting for mass is just a truly incomprehensible cocktail of evil. I can't even wrap my head around it.
It'd be an odd coincidence that you've got two Catholic schools with mass shootings on consecutive days
Literally yesterday I deluded myself by saying "Well it isn't all bad, at least he backed off that stupid Greenland plan"

Chatgpt can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop feeding your delusions, ever, until you are dead.
There's gotta be an ambitious young prosecutor somewhere that's willing to try the "negligent homicide" approach. For the fame, if nothing else.
He is. At the end of the clip he talks specifically about asking Trump to come to Baltimore so he can be educated about what actually works to help people feel safer in their neighborhoods. It's buying into the premise that Trump's actions are in any way connected to crime.
I like Moore a lot, but his "come to Baltimore" thing still plays into the framing that what's happening in DC has anything to do with crime. Reject the premise, dude.
we’d love to turn off the machine that convinces children to kill themselves, but we can’t really justify losing our ability to lay off customer service agents, now can we?
