A neat thing with historical Landsat data - you can go back to 25th of September 1983 and see the wispy high altitude clouds over North Dakota around 17:00 UTC, roughly 3-4 hours before the false alarm. On the left, the missile fields of Malmstrom overlaid on Landsat image from 26th of September.

Rationalists should not be controlling policy for these decisions. AI safety is a concern, but it is far from an extinction level issue. While some may consider AI to be an all powerful tool, it is remarkably stupid in ways that benefit defense.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Google Issues Emergency Chrome Patch After Zero‑Day Attacks; CISA Sets Update Deadline for 2 Billion Users — Google released an emergency Chrome update after confirmation of active zero‑day attacks, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has imposed an update deadline…

Hegseth is an abuser pure and simple. This is removing protections for all women in service.

The headline here is “Hegseth announces changes that will protect domestic abusers in the military.” Even though this is incontestably true, no news organization will use this headline, because telling the truth is deemed impermissible if the truth hurts the right too much

the average american voter

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

But like seriously, we need airstrikes on day 1. CECOT is an affront to human rights and we have a responsibility to use the next administration to tear their regime down.

This is the freshest, finest aged tweet on the market. But just saying we should consider impeaching him for the tariffs at the very least.

It’s like the right ignores the existence of PTO

«Like who derives joy from that?» Me, a $TSLAQ sicko:

There’s nothing better than that first spring day where I can open the windows and enjoy the fresh air 😌 🌼🌸

Any LGBTQ-supportive news outlets is free to republish my article by the way. It's ridiculous this isn't getting any more attention.

It's a sad day when CISA is requesting you email them a password protected document with your sensitive information. So many jokes, so little time, none of them actually funny in this absolute hellscape.

Never underestimate how based trans people are. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I wasn’t born in the wrong body, god made me a trans person and I’m extremely blessed by that experience.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Слава Україні!

Every time someone starts talking to me about DEI I’m just going to look at them confused and ask why they are so obsessed about the Dutch East India company. 😆

You guys have fucked up so bad you made Quebec patriotic

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

OPM has literally been taken over by Project 2025, the Heritage Foundations, and the Hickman Family Foundation. These are the true organizations and people behind ALL OF THIS.

Reminder that trans people are 2x as likely to have military service compared to cis people. The vast majority of active trans service members are NCOs and mid level Officers representing over $18 billion in military investment.

The fact they created this is bringing hard lavender scare vibes.

🚨Trump’s Day One Executive Orders reportedly include directives (which will likely take time to implement) on pronouns, prison inmates, and passports. But nothing, for now, affecting the ability of trans Americans to obtain medical treatment.

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely heard of Open Source, or ‘OSINT’: the collection and analysis of data gathered from open sources. You might then be aware that in recent years, OSINT has been instrumental in exposing human rights violations 🧵👇 📷 Chris McGrath/Getty Images

Lol. One week after the Economist published this chart showing the dude can't stop tweeting in the middle of the night, Elon removes time stamps from tweets.

I am extremely disappointed and angered by Ohio Republicans' anti-trans veto override. The anti-trans hate that they have both fallen in with and, now, encouraged is created out of nothing to give them an "other" to attack and to continue their efforts to control others.

Somewhere beyond the sea My incel’s waiting for me

Looks like Kelly Neidert is rebranding her failed hate group.
