Who disrupts the disruptors???
AI staff joining Meta, after seeing the state of the company and industry:
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Next time @cato.org appears to make a good point about authoritarianism, remember that they wrote this report.
in case you missed it here's a member of Congress admitting I was right to mock them for normalizing DOGE and trying to bridge with fascists
thank you for coming to my big announcement that was planned for weeks and not thrown together at the last second to get ahead of speculation that my health is in decline. alabama (taking a huge huff of a mysterious gas like dennis hopper in blue velvet) is in charge of space
Never ever.
Ugh barely a C-
"Move fast and break things" but the things are kids and the people allowing tech bros to break them are educators.
You look like a painting in pastels! So pretty
Just imagine what is being saved for the book this week.
I'm getting mad just thinking about it
This is the best part about being an adult tbh
I love this so much
I noticed!! Hyzenthlay! But I couldn't figure out a way to say it without sounding like I used to as a kid, just bursting out with things I know lmao. She's one of my favorite characters 🥰
when you die on the white house toilet you die in real life
That sounds potentially expensive
Nonfiction is a lot faster to write than fiction at least. All I need to do is keep my facts straight. With fiction I have to worry about internal consistency and shit
What's next? Book burnings? "The Handmaid's Tale among more than 200 books to be pulled at Edmonton public schools" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
That's one way of looking at it!! I like that!
My agent, three months ago: got some asks about nonfiction. If you can get me a few sample chapters by Sept 2 that'll be great Me, three months ago: really? oh hell yeah, on it Me, August 28: oh fuck
I made five of seven deadlines this weekend??? I think???
A fair question
Wasn't he one of the hashtag resistance types too?
Pretty sure I told that guy to fuck off at least once
They outright said it for like 50 years!
I've never seen such a disconnect between Dem elected/staff/consultants and actual Dem voters. The latter understand what's going on. The former are awash in right-wing brainrot, hence @schatz.bsky.social blaming COVID mitigation and BLM marches for the GOP's wanton destruction of public health.
![@EsotericCD It was in this moment that many of us hanging on to a thin sliver of trust in our institutions irrevocably lost faith in them. One of the most poisonous blows to public trust in living memory - worse than the effect of the Iraq War in many ways. RFK Jr is a direct result of this.

top candidates for the announcement are: i had a pig’s heart transplanted and am stronger than ever or we are invading a country in the global south
I approve! I read that book at least once a year and have since I was a kid. It is one of those wonderful books that has grown with me over the years. A jewel
Same lmao
He totally does
Everybody knows Blueskyism means having a really excellent ass
Me too!
I mean, unintentionally
Oh crap, I bet I stole this bit straight from that! Sorry Onion

‘This should alarm every American’ @WashingtonPost.com Nine former directors of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dating back to 1977 and serving under every Republican and Democratic president, are raising the alarm about the impact of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Good lord!

Ugh I'm sorry.
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
Google's search engine was the greatest information retrieval tool I'd ever experienced in my life. So many mysteries unraveled under the scrutiny of a few keystrokes. They lobotomized it *for this*.
Every conservative principle that could have merit is already represented in the mainstream Democratic Party, not to mention fully abandoned by conservatives themselves. What's left? Bigotry, sadism, tantrums over corporate logos. This is what you're trying to find common ground with
I once read an old article about Lovely 55 perfume and its unusual use of patchouli (a scent that I love). I had to smell it and see what the fuss was about, so I skeptically ordered a sample (which was $50!). My skepticism was over the second I put it on and it turned me into a perfume person

the room seeming almost supernaturally quiet after these orgies, I began to congratulate myself

Holy shit yes ❤️
Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...
Since this question precipitated a bunch of WATERSHIP DOWN scripture specialists coming into the chat, let me take this moment to recommend the recent graphic novel adaptation by sequential-art professor James Sturm, with art by Joe Sutphin. Maybe your library has a physical or electronic copy:
Nine former CDC directors, from Bill Foege onward, speak out about the incalculable harm that RFK, Jr. is doing to public health in the US and around the world. Gift link.
It is a global attack on democracy, you're completely correct, and it's happening right now because of climate change, and our only hope is to work together to defeat these bastards ❤️

To quote @brooklynmarie.bsky.social and others, "It's a global far-right fascist power grab."

Anguilla owns the .ai web domain, and founders in the AI space are paying the country millions to license its use.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
May they all be redacted in the end

If you see the aurora, feel free to tag me, and make sure to report in on aurorasaurus.org ! Aurorasaurus is a platform where you can report aurora sightings in real-time, helping other aurora chasers and also scientists reconstruct the auroral oval during the storm.
Like this should be the end of it all, the whole system that created it, forever. Yet it keeps on going
I know. It's the worst. Those poor fucking kids.
Just leave them crying until they can't breathe. Give em nightmares
No... holy shit I might have to do this to myself
Definitely watch it some other time. It will wreck you.
I'm gonna do it too. Just tear that old wound right open

In Melbourne, neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell was welcomed to the March for Australia stage, where he told the crowd how "his men" had led the march. He later led a large group of "his men" to violently attack Camp Sovereignty, the Indigenous protest encampment in King's Domain
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
It’s also completely unrealistic aside from the “AI” stupidity. 1) Bibi’s extremist coalition partners want to resettle Gaza, not turn it into hi tech city for Palestinians. 2) Jared’s own family company’s were putting out promo materials to the settler movement to do this by mid-2024. 1/
I feel like crying and heaving my guts out tonite, gonna put on Watership Down and chase it with Penny Serenade
"Cybersecurity experts are warning of a surge in attacks from a malware strain known as "Gayfemboy,” which was first identified last February, and leaves the string "twinks :3" displayed on an infected system before moving on."

The lawsuit argued that the plan to expel the children violates protections under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.
I think am appropriate age to introduce it to them might be ~30
God. Same but that's nothing on the final scene. I couldn't stop crying
I think I'm ready to watch it and get nightmares all over again

Everyone who has seen that one is also emotionally damaged
Yes! Several. Two were creepy and uncanny and not very good and the other one permanently damaged me emotionally
I'm clapping right now!
Yes!
All of that British postwar fantasy stuff dealt with fascism and its patterns one way or another though
