Of all the questionable things about AI, I'm starting to think its biggest crime is simply the staggering amount of resources it has pointlessly drawn away from other, more important work and the way it has corrupted even organisations that were previously doing great work in some misguided, race-to-the-bottom belief that this is actually the most important thing for humankind.

North Dakota Republicans rejected a bill giving low income students lunch

What did they do right after?

They voted to increase their own meal reimbursements.

The vote was 26-21 to pass Senate Bill 2124

White Christian conservatives: nature’s snake.

The xenophobia of the TikTok ban, the hysteria over section 230 which protects speech online, the denial of women's health care in the overturning of Roe, the attacks on teachers and book bans, the persecution of LGBTQ people, the freakouts over drag ... all these things are the SAME THING: rising American fascism. They're all perfectly in line with a white supremacist, patriarchal view of America.

Every day we pretend fascism can't happen here is a day it gets one step closer.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state. Kids look pretty happy about that.

Tyre Nichols, 29, was a dad to a 4-year-old son. He loved to photograph sunsets and skateboard, a passion he’s had since he was a little boy.

If you want to share a video, share this one. It’s how his family wants him to be remembered. 🌅

"A party that mocks acts of common decency cannot be trusted to campaign fairly within the rules. When one party targets minority voters with gross acts of suppression and intimidation, we cannot celebrate the democratic process regardless of who wins."

Santos, McCarthy and the Shameless Republican Party

From Marc | The Republican Party today embraces crooks. It revels in cheating. It celebrates fraudsters.

All Tyre Nichols wanted to do was go home.

All Trayvon Martin wanted to do was go home.

All Amadou Diallo wanted to do was go home.

Breonna Taylor WAS home.

Good morning.

Another Black person is dead, who should be alive, but who never will be alive again, a story so common that trying to deal with it feels like it carries the accumulated weight of all those that went before and all those who will surely come after.

The murdered person’s name was Tyre Nichols, and he lived in Memphis, and he should be alive, but he’s not, because he was murdered at the age of 29, robbed of about 50 years of his life
