I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.

I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!

Baudrillard: totally exonerated, no wrong doing

Support Karla if you can, she’s a gem who needs help with her health issues 🖤

Excited that our paper has now been published 🤩

Ever wonder wha happen to CTL's for-profit spin-off #Loris dot ai? Two Harvard Business School case studies later, generated a research paper on "AI assist" CX ($9.95 paywall and $30 paywall) and then last year acquired by Contentsquare.

Look What You Made Us Patch: 2025 Zero-Days in Review | Google Cloud Blog Our analysis of 90 zero-day vulnerabilities tracked in 2025, focusing on techniques and how AI will accelerate the vulnerability landscape.

"For the first time since we began tracking zero-day exploitation, we attributed more zero-days to commercial surveillance vendors than to traditional state-sponsored cyber espionage groups."

Love to see the stats backing up my hunch.

It’s Not Complicated The mainstream media failed the public during the genocide in Gaza. The Key's editor-in-chief shares her vision for what comes next.

Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets."

Her opening essay is worth every second of your time: www.thekeymagazine.com/p/western-jo...

sad truth, doing more research on this and realizing my big predictions and warnings were all about things that were already happening #CrisisLines please #StopAI #NoAI

I'm trying to finish a paper i started in 2022, this time I will finish it. will make public w/in next few weeks.

What do tech dudes have to be mad about? We interview author and activist @naomiaklein.bsky.social on our latest episode of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000. Check out Episode 72: How the War Department Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI.

A big point of contention in arguments over AI is just large numbers of people refusing to become aware of humanities, language theory, cognition, understanding of labour processes, etc saying "shut up gadget is shiny" at people who did spend the time getting to know those things.

Google is pushing Gemini heavily in schools, btw

All of us are in danger as long as the empire stands As people across the U.S. left react to attacks on Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, canned rhetoric and sectarianism remain the priority

Factions of the US left should learn from failures. Instead, many are preoccupied with being an authority on other people's global struggles while neglecting to beat back empire at home. I wrote about changing this cycle or facing destruction for @prismreports.org.

LLM makers makers do not want you to be able to understand. It's about turning the means of understanding and sensemaking into externalized products to rent.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

*Sigh* Once again, a world war is a war that involves ALL the continents, not really specifically world powers. You can be mad about a war and fight it without panicking yourself into thinking it's a world war (you all did that before with Ukraine). Panicking into defeatism is what warmongers want.

- Rosa Luxemburg, 1915

La economía que devora el planeta Más que un problema ambiental, la pérdida de capital natural se ha convertido en una amenaza estructural para el funcionamiento de los mercados y las cadenas de valor

"Tenemos un problema: las empresas, desde la agricultura hasta los data centers, dependen directamente de la naturaleza, pero los sistemas actuales incentivan su destrucción".

Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.

A lot of people say "two things can be true" but it doesn't seem like they know how to react when two things can IN FACT be true.

that quote reminds me of the opening quote we used @andreaeyleen.bsky.social here:

[A]ll science would be superfluous if the outward appearance and the essence of things directly coincided. (Marx, 1894, p. 592) doi.org/10.1007/s421...

so even a baby knows "correlation does not imply cognition" 🙃

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

June Jordan opposed the Vietnam War for “draining of finite U.S. resources into weaponry and war.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “impassioned analysis—that it was evil and racist to punish, poison, pulverize, and decimate another people... people of the Third World” pushed her to oppose it morally.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

DHS calls leaks a threat. Here’s what we wouldn’t know without them Recent leaks have exposed DHS’s warrantless home invasions, targeting of protesters, surveillance overreach, and propaganda campaigns

DHS calls whistleblowers a “threat to national security.”

But without leaks to the press, the public wouldn’t know that ICE is entering homes without warrants, labeling protesters “domestic terrorists,” building surveillance tools, or pushing propaganda.

Whatever you were doing to help your community yesterday still needs doing tomorrow.

There is mutual aid to distribute.
And neighbors to shelter.
And hormones to produce.
And weapons shipments to block.
And prisons to burn.
And a war to stop.

Rest is a friend. Consistency is a requirement.

ICE has detained more than 120 kids in 'inhumane' hold rooms in NYC under Trump Detainees held in the rooms have complained of crowded conditions and lack of food, soap, hygiene products, and access to attorneys.
