i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Bluesky has four kinds of users

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

I’m not as privy to the minutiae of the contemporary Republican Party but, even if there’s a small percentage standing against Trump, this is who you want to speak to. In this case, it might not be Democrats versus Republicans but Democrats and Republicans against far-right extremism.

Another interesting thing that happened in Brazil and might be worth considering in the U.S.: a triumph of the liberal field was to detach Bolsonarism from the right. It wasn’t about left or right anymore; it was both left and right, liberals and centrists, fighting against far-right extremism.

Boo.

What do y'all think, does it suit me?

Third government to fall to a GenZ protest so far. Nepal and Madagascar also culminated in a change of government. The kids are not taking it anymore.

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

hell is outsourcing rumination on your own child

ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

I am furious on behalf of the people of Brazil. At the same time, watch closely how Bolsonaro & his supporters do it—MAGA will be trying some of the same things in a few days in the USA.

There is a coup underway in Brazil right now. In the likely event that Bolsonaro is declared the winner, keep in mind blatant voter suppression and violence were behind it.

With its recent reopening, Time Traveler Records remains one of Northeast Ohio’s longest-running independent record stores.

That's the root of fascism, to be perfectly frank. If you can look at a person and due to disability, or appearance, or weight, or the thought of them having sex makes you go EWWWWW, you are dancing right up next to "that is an incorrect human".

RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

And the 'it's fair use' people who are simping for billionaires are pathetic cultists who argue in bad faith and refuse to look at the frequent documentation that shows the CEOs of those corporations *knew* they were stealing and even use the phrase 'pirating' and stealing. So that don't fly for me.

That would be ethically used Machine Learning, when paired with careful social/legal rules about diagnosis, a boon to doctors/imaging. Could. A generative model trained on pirated material, well, we don't know how much it actually costs to train/create what it does. So it's illegal/dangerous

There's: Machine Learning Large Language Models and Generative Models trained on copyrighted material that was pirated. These are 3 different things, and so half the arguments are talking past each other. I can find training a machine on millions of properly licensed X-ray images a scientific win

Immigrants, and their children, make our country better. "I really felt like it was my duty," Ebro Ahmed, 27, told ABC News. "Also, too, it’s kids we’re talking about, you know. Even if I were to die, it would still be worth it."

we actually reflected on that a bit, recognizing forces had to have converged in a way that was unique on June 22, 1969. And they did. neorsd.medium.com/sparking-cha...

What I learned from Prince and Muhammad Ali was that it’s possible to love yourself so much that everybody else does, too.
