My neurospicey brain stressed out every time I watch Return of the Jedi. Because Lando goes, "Alright, stand by"!
... and then he just fucking JUMPS TO LIGHT SPEED. LIKE WTF YOU SAID STAND BY. Like "ON YOUR MARK" but then he just JUMPS.
You said STAND BY LANDO WTF. I WAS RUNNING TO THE BATHROOM.
Very well dressed woman chasing down a Coco delivery robot yelling "I hate that thing. I'm going to fucking kill it" while her partner yells limply behind her "baby no you're gonna get sued"
The United States government is currently covering up evidence the President sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl and is demanding every AI company allow their products to be utilized for mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous weapons systems.
Not great!
You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.
listening to @marthawells.com murderbot books for the third time and I'm really appreciating how much all of them are tied to a grief about systems of human exploitation & greed (and a hope that people continue to fight against them)
Our story @chicagotribune.com: Chicago teen Ofelia Torres, whose father was detained by ICE while she fought cancer, dies. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/14/c...
This 10 year old boy was chased down by ICE in South Jersey. I am beyond outraged, both as an American and as a father to two boys.
Our system is broken. The first step to fix it is for ICE to leave our state.
three panel webcomic 1st panel: one man says to another "we invented a robot that answers questions" 2nd panel: he continues "we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day" 3rd panel: the other man asks "but it answers the questions correctly?" and the first man replies "oh my goodness, no. no no no no no."
It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future.

The problem, you see, is that WE DO NOT HAVE A GODDAMN EVICTION MORATORIAM YET.
So all the work y'all did to keep Caz's neighbors housed? Last month?
NEEDS TO FUCKING HAPPEN AGAIN.
Because SOME politicians Will. Not. Protect. Minnesotans.
Donate if you can. Boost if you cannot.
Thank you.
CU Denver stole almost $6k of my scholarship award last year and said they had no student research funding (I only wanted $300 for my thesis). They also pulled transcription software from a friend (that was a disability accommodation), exacerbating their health issues and delaying their graduation.
as always, the proper stance when trump and the goons sue is “fuck you, make me”
Alleged someone allegedly burning a concentration camp in Kansas City.
Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp
The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.
Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77
I'm not a climate doomer, because that's what the powerful want. They want people to give up and say "it's too late."
Even if it is too late, I'd still rather the world decarbonize if only to fuck up the fossil fuel companies.
If you refuse to believe in a better future, at least believe in spite.
You don't fight the enemy where you wish they were. You go and fight them where they *are*. (I can just hear Sun Tzu shouting "What are they *teaching* them in these schools..!")
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
Really smart take here. A good amount of harm that generative AI is producing in modern society is coming from the fact that a ton of people (sometimes including police) have bought into fantasies about what the technology can actually do.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Wednesday unveiled a statewide portal for residents to upload photos and videos of federal immigration activity, as her administration moves to more aggressively scrutinize the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”
Elmo @elmo · 1h That Bunny was AMAZING. Elmo thinks he should be called Good Bunny! Elmo loves you, Mr. Good Bunny! ❤️🎶🐰 Based Yankee @thebasedyankee You and Bad Bunny should be deported
It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."
One day ICE might hit your car, then charge you with assault.
Is this freedom?
We need to ABOLISH ICE!
A faster way for that to happen is help elect Shawnforgeorgia.com
Volunteer or donate because if we win this GA-14 seat, we can flip the House & the election is Mar 10, less than a month away!
Keep pushing Norm.
We should start saying the Epstein Class instead of oligarchy because I honestly believe most people don't know what that means.
A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.
My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
