Gone from all other social networks. Not sure how long this one will last but we'll see.

You're overestimating it.

The most accurate comparison is the brain of a microscopic insect that has been forced to read the entire internet.

That's pretty much what went on in the making of any LLM.

And yeah, something like that is just going to hallucinate words and word-adjacent things.

American media and opposition parties are failing us and the consequences are deadly. There are Nazis in the white house broadcasting ethnonationalist blood and soil propaganda from government agencies, using the military to occupy cities, and waging an ethnic cleansing campaign.

A common strategy is to make the victims into solution finders, instead of obligating the perpetrators to clean up their own mess.

It's a way of draining resources away from activists. The Politics of Exhaustion.

"I'm a bigot, climate denier, antivaxxer, & election denier, solve my problems for me" is demanded of #MeToo , #BlackLivesMatter , & Democrats by GOP billionaires with vast resources.

Ukraine is told to resolve Putin's imperial ambitions for him.

Cosmos will grow
Where bombs once ruptured the earth
Rains mix with the blood spilled
To nurture blooms
Where decayed death feeds
New, vibrant life.
Roots of resilience are nurtured
By universal love
Of Mother Earth.
As humans continue to fight
Amongst ourselves.
For what?

seems like a good day to remind everyone that
"I was only following orders" was rejected as a defense
at the Nuremberg trials.

Can we please stop with the framing that
we're “sliding into” or “creeping towards” a fascist autocracy or dictatorship?

We're already there. It may be an incompetent one. But we're there. #politics

Sen. McConnell and wife, Elaine Chao, reflect on their shared public lives at Kentucky event

Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao’s status as a powerhouse couple was on display as they attended a ceremony in Kentucky for the archives that will catalogue their careers. On Tuesday, they marked the expansion of the McConnell Chao Archives at McConnell’s alma mater, the University of Louisville. McConnell is in his final term after the Republican senator revealed in February he won’t seek reelection in 2026. His wife Chao is a former U.S. labor and transportation secretary for Republican administrations. UofL President Gerry Bradley says the archives will be an invaluable source for scholars and historians by offering insights into the couple's careers.
