What a world

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

South Burlington residents formed a human tunnel to rescue a three-year-old from an ICE raid without a warrant.

🚨 “The government has kidnapped one of my friends.”

I spoke to loved ones of 38-year-old regional video gaming champion Ludovic Mbock, who came to the US legally from Cameroon & was snatched by ICE in Baltimore while applying for his yearly work permit—as he’s done for 20 years.

Last week, I reported that ICE is holding detainees, including children, in a network of unofficial detention facilities around the state.

In its “denial” of that reporting, ICE…confirmed it’s holding detainees, including children, in a network of unofficial detention facilities around the state.

Is it legal to film ICE agents? Yes. The First Amendment protects your right to film ICE in public, and you cannot be punished for that alone. If you are in a public place, you have the right to record ICE and other agents, as long as you don’t interfere with or obstruct their operations, or break another valid law while you’re filming. If you are on private property, owners can set their own rules about photography and filming.

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

do you have floppy disks laying around gathering dust?

DONATE THEM TO ART 💾🌈✨.

3.5" floppy disks of many colors, arranged in a square

These are the rarest colors I've collected over the years. Their hue is similar but ultimately unique from 99% of my inventory.

This is important because one of my rules is Never Change The Color. Whenever I don't have enough of the one I want I just keep searching. Always accepting donations! 💾

A satellite image of the Strait of Hormuz with the silhouette of the guy who got trapped in Nutty Putty Cave photoshopped into it.

Ah yes the Nutty Putty maneuver.

the US is doing the empire version of those guys who go spelunking without a plan and wriggle themselves into an inescapable crevice and suffocate

A guy crouched in a parking space with text “normal car in a dealership lot”

The same guy crouched over some rocks on the grass with text “Jeep Wrangler in a dealership lot”

They got unc crawling in the lot for content

yeah

Can this be a solution?

there is a child-like naivety to the way business leaders approach sociopolitical problems that would be really sweet if it wasn't coming from the leader of a company with 30,000 employees and 3 billion dollars in revenue

Loved Isaiah Thomas' words on being born in Chicago in 1961 and the first in his family to live outside of Jim Crow.

Amid assassinations of:
'63: Medgar Evers
'65: Malcolm X
'68: MLK
'69: Fred Hampton

"When society was telling me I was a nobody, Jesse Jackson knelt down and said "YOU ARE SOMEBODY"

Just wanna be clear here:
You are outraged about another dumb monument the naked King is forcing on us BUT your party just approved his NSA director?

How are we supposed to take you all seriously? You throw softballs to look competent and end up looking stupid as fuck.

I don’t care about an arch.

Union strong!!! 💪♥️ @videogameworkers.bsky.social

I just… this headline. This is why "Black Lives Matter" was so loudly countered with "Blue Lives Matter".

ACAB. The mental health of an officer INVOLVED IN THE SHOOTING/CHASE was more important to them.

"…an officer having a 'mild anxiety attack' took the first ambulance that arrived at the scene"

Officer having anxiety attack took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.

You know what tho

America wants to label swathes of human beings just like me and just like you as pornographic, as illegal, as degenerate freaks.

But I'd rather be a freak than a fascist.

Sex workers and pornographers and erotic artists have been warning us about the encroaching tide of puritanical censorship for years, and their concerns have been dismissed because of who they are and what they make. But the tide of fascism is still rising, and this fight was never just about art.

Thank you so much to Santa Ragione and especially to Andrea for trusting me with the English script. And thank you to the Italian translation team at We Are Muesli for helping me navigate some of its unique, fascinating challenges. Thank you to the IGF Jury for seeing the beauty in the grotesque

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan on his exit from Activision Blizzard: 'It was the biggest f**k you moment I've had in my career' Overwatch League was instrumental in sending Overwatch off the rails.

it's incredible to me how random guys in my discord called out all the problems that OWL would have, that all panned out pretty much 1:1 with what they and I said would happen, but you still have a fucking CFO placing demands on the developers as if they had no idea what they built with that league

The massive sea change we've seen in attitudes toward domestic abuse over the past century is a strong sign of both our society's ability to change in response to changes in what is possible and the transitory stickiness of godawful things that have outlived their purpose.
