Worth repeating: AI platforms built by greedy tech CEOs aren't "making mistakes" they are working as designed

Part of that design is undermining experts, removing human connection & trust, and hiding decision making

Those are the things that make our communities work, and the more we lose them, the worse things get

Back to painting more mechs. This time it’s the Shiro from the House Kurtis Command Lance. #battletech #minipainting #catalystgamelabs

Opposition to Israel has NEVER made me feel like I was in danger as a Jew.

But goddamn I feel more in danger because an apartheid state on the other side of the world is committing genocide and war and saying they’re doing it in my name.

I hate that wearing something that may identify me as Jewish may indicate support for a country I want nothing to do with.

Putting art on your wall transforms those ordinary moments when you're just walking past into tiny moments of joy – like discovering a twenty in an old jacket, except it happens every single time you notice it.

When I tell y'all how many people work for the NYPD, and that their budget ($12B/yr) is greater than the military budget of almost every country on earth, people think I'm exaggerating.

I'm not.

So when they say that they "Don't have enough resources," to pursue all the sex crimes or thefts? They are lying.

Mohommad Nazeer put his life on the line to protect U.S. service members. Then he immigrated to the U.S. and did everything he was supposed to do. ICE fascists picked him up arbitrarily. The next day he is dead in an ICE facility. He leaves behind six young children.

His story is one you should know about. Share this video.

I received an absolutely beautiful and vibrant painting today from @jeffzugale

The man who did not care about the war in Ukraine because this was Europe's war, now wants Europe to join the war he started with Iran, while he is lifting sanctions on Russia, so Putin can scale up the Ukraine war.

Trump is not playing chess. He is just eating the pieces.
