Tired trans nurse who studies A.I. & power AAAS Invention Ambassador They/them, probably a 🐉 #NurseSky #STS #cat enthusiast Views always my own as a private citizen & not my employer’s (wild that I have to state this)
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
The jailbreak was done on the company’s public bot, not the one inside the state system, but researchers “were able to make the bot spread vaccine conspiracy theories, triple a patient's prescribed pain medication dosage, and recommend methamphetamine as treatment.”

The gall of old men with gold toilets telling young soldiers that probably many more will die in the needless war they started to distract the world from their crimes & pedophilia
My country’s government refuses to house, feed, or respect the human rights of its residents.
Health care & living wages are always a bridge too far.
But with a word, our commander-in-chief can start illegal wars overnight.
As such men have for decades-
Rule by terror, bloodshed & imperialism.
“We don’t have a government that’s properly staffed,” she said. “All of these things [federal workers do] are really part of making life a little fairer, a little safer for the public. We’ve lost that.”

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
CW: transphobia.
See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤
This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did.
But it's not just similar. It's *identical*.
In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938.

Has #HATM done Wargames?
Feels apt, given <gestures widely> 🙃
I cannot like this enough

I’m generally cautious in amplifying “breakthroughs” but given the havoc wrought by respiratory illnesses, this seems big?
And reducing colds & flu not only saves lives but do you know many work hrs (& wages) caregivers, who are disproportionately women & shift workers, lose when someone gets sick?
The pace of change is accelerating, and the implications are far-reaching. Keeping up isn’t easy, but it’s essential. www.wired.com/newsletter/I...
Yes! I tried out a really fast & simple miso glaze recipe this morning - it didn’t disappoint!
A plate with salmon and roasted broccoli sits on a navy blue table. Flowers and a bag with peanut butter cookies and a colorful valentine are visible next to the plate.

Many of us have been making noise about this but still not enough
I appreciate this explainer from Matthew

I’m no Congressional policy expert but with House passage of the SAVE act & DHS funding votes still on the table, it sure feels like they’re setting up the Senate to “choose” between the right to vote & the right not to be snatched off the street or shot by secret police
How about neither?
Tech executives have finally amassed their ultimate, long dreamed-of power: to summarily fire anyone who speaks ill of their desire to have sex with robots
“Consider that the AI hype is true.”
My dude. Lots of us have considered this. We’ve tried it, put it through its paces, and found it seriously lacking. It’s impressive software with very limited real world applications. No amount of advertising money they throw at it will make it less of a hype.
This morning the word “edupreneur” came across my inbox and I just…
Aren’t y’all tired of the song & dance routines to prove care work is worthy?
What if “educator” was a full sentence?
