Ironically, it appears that AI chatbots hallucinate for the same reason that students feel compelled to use them: They were socialized in a high-stakes testing culture that rewards guessing and maybe getting it right over admitting when there's something you just don't know.
I do think that when we get on the other side of this dark af moment the result will be an unimpeachable cultural support of trans people that’s never been seen before.
The work begins, Chicago.
if you answer the cuisine question with anything other than "now", you should be eligible for a free psychiatric screening. I can get authentic, insanely varied food from like 85 countries within a twenty block radius, I'm fairly certain I've got it better than jello ham
a thing I'm struck by: not even after 9/11 did this measure of support dip below 50%
This is not only morally reprehensible but strategically did more to help get Donald Trump elected
While all eyes are on ICE this week, the city has confirmed plans to clear an encampment of unhoused people in Legion Park early Tuesday morning. Community advocates posted this flyer asking for support and they’ll be holding a press conf, alongside park residents, on Monday at 9am in the park.
it does seem like we're sleepwalking into a farm crisis
we should start doing the "did you know John Lennon was a wife beater" thing but for every anti vaxx celebrity did you know robert deniro blames the MMR vaccine for his son's autism to such an extent that he had to pull an anti vax conspiracy theory movie from his film festival after public outcry?
Vance wrote a whole book making up stuff to make himself sound cooler(unsuccessful) and calling his mom a weak-willed scumbag, and now we're supposed to give the wimp uwu smol bean treatment because some dumbasses headcanon is that his fake trauma fuels his bloodthirst?
“Holocaust museum attacked for opposition to genocide” is fully through the looking glass
Hi US citizens. You are now subject to sudden seizure at your workplace and lengthy detention, at any time, by a blitz of heavily federal armed troops—despite having committed no crime and not even being charged with any crime. Not my opinion. This is what HSI *says* that it did.
Darkly amusing that the president who pardoned Ross Ulbricht also says illicit drugs are such a threat to national security that he can use the military to assassinate suspected drug dealers with no due process.
Americans are unable to fully accept the reality that their government is fascist now. The democratic system is over and democracy has been replaced with fascism that is gearing up for war against its own citizens and the world.
Elon Musk is engaged in open chemical warfare and killing the people of Memphis and don't let people tell you this isn't a race thing. a white South African dumping toxic gasses onto a majority Black city isn't something that is happening by coincidence
Really just want to highlight the fact that these three Chicago ICE SRT guys seen in Broadview yesterday with their fun new patch are not "Trump troops," and they're not Border Patrol, either. Whoever they are, they're some of the same agents who have been terrorizing people locally for months.
Saving this post as a glaring example of someone with no actual argument attempting to adopt a shallow version of the language of social justice to derail a discussion. Just like an abusive partner weaponizing therapy speak, you can't be honest about your position so you attempt to shield it w BS
Keep in mind this is a Nazi movement that sexually grooms children, had an acquaintance who was victim of that and had the FBI show up at her house years later asking about the CSAM of her they kept finding on Iron March freaks' phones.
Let's be clear what this image represents. Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders. THAT is the reference here.
Mind boggling the world just looks away AGAIN while fascism runs wild across the globe
Ms Rachel learning Dabke 😭🇵🇸
Extremely funny to come in to the anti-landlord website and say this
I dunno if teaching every ethnic group at once that the protections of whiteness are always provisional and revokable if youre not a certain kind of European Xtian is a strong strategy for maintaining white hegemony but I guess well see!
Hot wives in your area want to meet up Hot wives in your area have disabled the floodlights Hot wives are breaching the perimeter fencing Hot wives in your area know the location of the trip wire Hot wives are jiggling the handle to your bedroom door. Let us in
Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!
People act like being non-binary is a thing that only existed for the last 5 years like Fred Durst didn’t shout out “hey ladies, hey fellas, and the people who don’t give a fuck.” Back in 1999
a friend and I went downtown this evening to scream in the streets with thousands of our neighbors. @theonion.com was also at the protest this evening and they were pulling no punches
All of the U.S. military service academies are canceling lectures and ceremonies which feature speakers critical of President Trump. Dark times.
fantastic delivery on "you too bitch"
Me: Can I have one of those blue milkshakes that symbolizes Grimace’s blood? McDonalds Cashier: (offended) We believe every beverage symbolizes Grimace’s blood
Trump is pushing for authoritarian control + the power to unleash state violence without restraint - but people in DC are mobilizing on the ground and pushing back. From concerts which defy curfews, to night patrols which disrupt ICE, this is a great window report. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing
the president of the united states: *photoshops himslef as adolf hitler rounding up whole american cities into concentration camps* The Resistance: erm take off that reichsfuhrer eagle, sir, you havent earned it 😤😏
This is pure dictator shit and ALSO it is a sign of a flailing regime that they A) Have to demand this because they know they'll actually get boo'ed in advance and B) they're so bad at doing that it gets leaked long before the event
The president gets to harm as many Americans as he wants defying whatever laws he pleases and our job is to be nice to him and make sure everyone agrees he's cool. Not sure what you people don't understand about that.
Every time I hear about how the ATmosphere isn't decentralized enough... and then I see things like Laurens' regular newsletter showing how much non-Bluesky PBC development of incredibly cool stuff is happening... (this is just a snippet, full newsletter has more):
In authoritarian regimes, it makes sense to censor media outlets that expose dissent against the leader.
I know we call a lot of things Nazi shit these days but this is pure Nazi shit. "Don't show the Fuhrer in an unflattering light!!!"
What is cool is if you checkout dem senior leadership you will see that none of them are talking about popular protest lol
As I & others have been saying criminalization manufactures consent for fascism. Most people are OK w/ occupation of communities just not theirs. Our best chance at striking at the heart of fascism is to break our investment in criminalization. www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...
If it's hot, consider freezing half a bottle of water and filling the rest with liquid in the morning. During the winter, hot baked potatoes and Hot Hands. You can literally save lives and be a hero.
hot take: if it’s something that i can’t post without ending up on a watchlist or a visit from the glowies (e.g. domestic threats of war), the fucking president sure as shit shouldn’t be doing so without impunity
It’s worildbuilding for a fascist future “worldsystem” that is in process of being constructed around us. The social Darwinism is a key facet for American fascists and enacting mass social murder of those seen as weak is a core tenet of American fascism. They want to “cull the heard”
I spent years researching and trying to explain the imperial boomerang to people and he just … tweeted this out
A photo of a pro-Trump protester on the streets of Portland in the summer of **2018.** The leader of the group this person was associated with was a frequent guest on Fox News and made the rounds on the "conservative" lecture circuit. "RWDS" stands for "right wing death squad."
FBI: Your mission, should you choose to accept it *slides a picture of Epstein across the table* Trump: Have sex with kids. Got it FBI: Bingo
yimby this, nimby that. i don’t really care what guys with backyards have to say
*ezra klein guy voice* The problem with the left is that they've lost the willingness to speak reasonably with their opponents, such as this guy I interviewed recently who easily conned me into supporting eugenics
the baby (16 months) is standing by the front door pointing emphatically and yelling “I GO BYE BYE!!” farewell baby and good luck
President dril
Surely they will have to admit this is untenable. Solidarity with everyone standing up against our authoritarian, genocide-enabling government.
an active genocide funded by the united states
I would join the left if only they supported soft white supremacy, moderately unbridled markets, polite eugenics, murder at the border that I dont personally have to hear about, my continued wealth for arguing for those things at the highest levels and also working across the aisle with nazis!
The tech oligarchs at this event are the weak men in the “weak men create hard times…” meme
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
incredible work. become uncarryable.
American media continues to cover state killings as oopsie-doodles with no agent
how come every single person on the lolita express flight logs is also a frequent guest on joe rogans podcast
I love it that "listening carefully to questions that he then answers directly" is a (checks notes) 'trick'. Maybe a few more pollies could learn it.
Linehan’s court case making it very clear indeed exactly how wacky this stuff always was, and that people like him have always been about incoherent hatred. e.g. the Harry Potter lady and those ex-Guardian colonists aren’t more reasonable than this: they are *more careful about public perception*.
all our posts are happening at once but our brains process them in a linear fashion
This is organizing.
Trump heading into an Epstein sex party
Thank you to everyone in Illinois who stood up to ICE mercenaries today. This is what it will take—to put our own bodies and freedom on the line in order to make every action they take as difficult as possible. crimethinc.com/zines/seven-... It is, in fact, our own freedom on the line.
Bluesky, which is a very tiny dying network that no one cares about and is just a liberal bubble, is so powerful that it's going to destroy Democrats' chances of retaking power. - by Nate Silver
The infrastructure of authoritarianism is being built faster and faster as the entropy of fascism gains speed and mass.
“The video of me being beaten went viral because I’m white but the violence I experienced is just a drop in the ocean compared to what my Palestinian, Arab & other racialised comrades have endured at the hands of the German state police over the past 2 years.” This is what solidarity looks like
Already seeing this reflected in TikTok videos across the city from the last ~24hrs; people are spotting unmarked cars meeting up in parking lots, some social media videos of traffic stops with federal agents (can't tell if ICE, but looks like it). Be aware of your surroundings.
Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!
10/10, no notes
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
"capitalism made the phone you're typing on" no, labour made the phone I'm typing on. there's nothing inherently capitalistic about labour or trade. the only difference in "ism"s is when we're talking about who is paid for that labour, and how much
The Trump administration has not yet offered a legal rationale for murdering 11 people in a strike on a Venezuelan boat, which begs the question — was there even an attempt to concoct one for the attack? I filed a FOIA request with the Pentagon and the Office of Legal Counsel to find out.
his inner circle didn't even give this man 24 hours. his mans had the NYT on speakerphone
The technical issue is that they are collaborators.
#armtranswomen
People hate when abolitionists say this. But it is correct.
Posting this today for no particular reason
Bowser: We need 2,000 more cops on the mean streets of DC. The cops: Who wants to meet up at the Wawa at 19th and L and then head over to the Nordstrom Rack's?
absolutely amazing unintended consequences
salt fat acid heat denial bargaining acceptance
what is the Nicolae Ceaușescu-ass personality cult
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: I will personally mail all of my data to Xi Jinping if it helps this shitshow of a country finish collapsing. The American government is the primary enemy of the American public. No other country is capable of harming us the way our own does daily.
“Paramount to shell out $200 million for Bari Weiss’ The Free Press — and hand her the keys to CBS News” The Ellisons give millions to the IDF. Now they’re putting Weiss in charge of CBS and overpaying for TFP, which backs virtually everything 🇮🇱 does. www.mediaite.com/media/bari-w...
A politician welcoming the feds of any stripe into our cities is the same as welcoming ICE. There is no other way to put it. Very disappointing words to hear in the face of this invasion
this post and the next highlights why I said it's important to keep track of this rhetoric. it's spreading and escalating. again I'm not saying mass imprisonment is going to happen but this is stochastic terrorism that doesn't necessarily need legal action or legislation
Cops are great
The liberals- even at Human Rights Campaign- have always said trans people were asking for too much too fast too. transgriot.blogspot.com/2007/10/why-...
🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."
Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
Just to say what is actually happening in a way the press will never: Your President, a known sexual predator and pedophile, has dispatched the military to terrorize and silence sexual assault victims who, it is likely, he personally interacted with.
"When we talk about fascism in the streets, some folks still ask, 'Could it happen here?' For those of us who have been incarcerated, the answer is simple: It already did." --Renaldo Hudson, in the latest issue of Stateville Speaks www.statevillespeaks.org
lmao lmao lmao lmao
The Mayor of Broadview issued a statement yesterday highlighting the village's plan to deal with the impending ICE surge. The processing/de facto detention center will operate *7 days a week for ~45 days.* Also notes potential for "assaults on law enforcement," coordination with local police.
It would be easy as hell to run against Chelsea Clinton like u just have to say that Snopes never fact checked Ghislane Maxwell being an invited guest at YOUR wedding as true I personally would say it all the time, myself, if I lived in New York's 12th congressuonal district
This strikes me as extremely wise -- and the ground that will be necessary if there is to be any building at all.
"always has been"
