The Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.

“ … solidarity is not just expressed in direct protests, it’s also creative companionship in the day-to-day. Neighborliness is trying to meet a moment where many are no longer safe to participate in tasks such as grocery shopping, taking the bus to work, or picking kids up from school.”

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

We’ve known AI to create junk data from the start. Remember the reading lists published in newspapers with nonexistent titles? In academia the circular referencing of junk data is even worse.
Finally, if you can get through the paywall this piece from earlier in the week illuminates how the experience above is just a tiny part of an industrial-scale, global, and sector-wide catastrophe of AI and citations to nonexistent papers in academic publishing bsky.app/profile/mile...
Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

A huge part of the book-banning project aims to make work that provides a public good feel impossible and unsafe! It targets authors, absolutely, but it’s also trying to add unreasonable administrative burdens to the work of teachers and librarians.
Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

The government wants to tell half of this country's states what it is they can read and what it is they can think.

They *want* public institutions of democracy and civic engagement to be mouthpieces of government beliefs. That's all.

Please, for the love of god, GIVE A SHIT.
