The Senate GOP posted an AI deepfake of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. Using this tech isn't just a profound threat to our democracy - it's a disgraceful attempt to intentionally deceive voters. Congress must swiftly pass federal AI protections.

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When I hear the opening “Hello, Listener”, I feel as if I’m in my own semi-autonomous pleasure dome having human narratives streamed directly into my auricles. Yes, please! “Horror stories, sci-fi, and strange fiction for a maladapted species”

The Kentucky Supreme Court sided with our people, public education and the law today by ruling that the 2022 Republican-led House Bill 9 allowing charter schools is unconstitutional. Taxpayer dollars should stay with our already underfunded public schools, and now they will.

One of the perks of WFH is having your pets around. Except for when they fart such a noxious cloud that THEY choose to exit the office, but I’m stuck here marinating. 😂 This is why I have room spray. For such a little dog, she sure can make a loud smell! 😬

Just reminding folks that there are some very wealthy people out there who are happy with this stormy economy, and have all the tools they need to swoop in as the markets are listing and plunder what's left of our livelihoods. Leaving us with nothing. This isn't just capitalism: it's piracy.

Just a reminder that JD Vance funded a company called AcreTrader, which allows rich people to buy up farmland as an investment asset. So guess who will benefit if a bunch of farms go under and the acreage can suddenly be snapped up for pennies on the dollar?

Silicon Valley oligarchs who gained power and are now dismantling the govt are basically millenarian cultists, convinced the world is about to end—via AGI—and acting accordingly in advance. Smart piece. But if it turns out the world doesn't actually end in a year or two? Oops. Very serious oops.
