I think this is the best SNL promo I’ve ever seen. #connorstorie #heatedrivalry
I am proud to introduce the Protecting Puppies from Kristi Noem Act
Counterpoint:
Don’t upload your medical records to any LLM.
That’s fucking insane.
Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!
This is how you live a life
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
The measles virus infects ~90% of unvaccinated people exposed to it. The infected can then infect a dozen to several hundred people each.
This well-researched piece is a chilling, powerful account of exactly how easily a kid could get measles, and how they could die of it.
Must read!

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”
Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“. The other person asks „But it answers the questions correctly?“ Person responds „Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no.“ By Aram J. French Appropriated due to missing alt text
David Roberts: it is really unfortunate that it’s not possible to have a reasonable discussion about AI on here
A reasonable discussion about AI would come to the conclusion that this tech is damaging to humanity in virtually every way a tech can be damaging.
But I'd rather have an emotional discussion and point out that this tech is shit made by assholes, and it stole from me, personally, so fuck it.
Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
I always imagine a bar owner reading one of these lists, looking up at no one and muttering “…dive?”
I asked the expert (@billcorbett.bsky.social) on what's the best way to help Minnesotians, and he passed this along so I'm passing it onto you!!!

Hey remember PublicSquare, that website where MAGA humpers listed their own businesses in the deluded idea that it would work out well for them?
It backfired spectacularly.
“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

This is all good advice:
Ok great 👍
i don’t think it’s appropriate that old people are my age
Friends. I am in an emergency sitch. I need about $500 before the 1st of February. Anything donated will go straight towards this amount. I cannot find work. I’m a mom. I’m alone. I’m disabled due to neuropathy and debilitating back pain. I am scared. Anything will help. venmo.com/u/Kiala-Kaze...
On the ground, there are many orgs that are helping out Minnesota. Standwithminnesota.com is a good and easy collection of places you can donate to for immediate assistance. "What can I do to help" it's literally this list.
Trying to listen to the latest sound mix for "...And Then She Laughed," but my cat snoring next to me is complicating that a wee bit 😂 #filmsky #indiefilm #filmmaking
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
We can definitely make this the most blocked account here
Our movie theater was an hour away and we went every week wtf is talking about
Bitch I drove to MINNEAPOLIS sometimes
