"Scientists once hoarded pre-nuclear steel; now we’re hoarding pre-AI content"
I really like this comparison. #AI really is like nuclear radiation for information, and the effects are just as global. Also, both could result in massive, perhaps existential if any of the hype from AI CEOs is to be believed, human devistation if things spiral out of control.
Russia is complaining that bombing a Sovereign state is illegal.
Irony just died.
I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu”
Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell.
It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible.
It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

A couple of things about these claims circulating that the 2024 election was "rigged":
1. The supposed "proof" is essentially the same nonsensical statistical gobbledygook that the MAGA people were claiming about 2020, with the parties reversed.
2. There is no legal mechanism to "recount" an election after the results are certified. None. The ship has sailed.
3. SHOCKINGLY, they need funds to continue their "work"
4. Nope, not linking to it. Not giving them oxygen.
Correct the narrative.
What's changed is Elon turning Twitter into a Machine for Fascism.
Democrats won in 2020 because Twitter helped the party listen to the base. They lost in 2024 because they thought Elon's Twitter was reality and decided they try to appeal to the right on the right's terms.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, one of Trump's most gleeful supporters, has set up a one-stop shop: Joining false claims about the election with networks of fascists who'll take to the streets.
If there's anything that illustrated the hollowness of the Democratic Party as an effective opposition for me, it's this.
Yesterday, I watched a video of a sitting US Senator being thrown to the ground and cuffed by fed goons for asking questions of the fed official he has direct oversight authority over.
Within minutes, I'd gotten DOZENS of texts from Dems and Dem orgs asking for $5-$50 to "fight fascism."
That's it. "Are you terrified that your country is slipping into fascism? Pay me."
