I'm confused by people now saying anti-AI is racist. I think we can call out the harm that AI is doing, while calling for companies to not cut jobs for AI, pollute our air for AI, consume our drinkable water for AI, and driving up our energy costs. If that makes me anti-AI, so be it.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

Mark my words, when that orange man croaks, the Republican party will do one of two things, they will either immortalize him for a week and pretend like he was Jesus & distance themselves with time, or they'll pull a MTG & break ranks while trying to say they never supported Trump.

Connect with nature. This was on my morning walk after working overnight. Normally I'd do 3 laps, but my body was telling me no 🫠
The spirits said "1 lap will do my tired child." 😂

Sedation ≠ education. Probably why my algorithm on TikTok got tainted, thanks Zer0cale. Perhaps a sign that I need to stop by the Library. Currently reading Incidents In the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs. A coworker lended me this book and it's been sombering with each page, but necessary.

I don't know what's going on with Bluesky servers, because they REALLY don't seem to like me posting those TikToks and it feels like they're just making up errors at this point 😂 anyways, if y'all are having issues with uploads, use Mullvad vpn and thank me later. Bye!

Remember when the Black Panthers fed the community & policed their own communities, reducing crime? Yeah Uncle Sam remembered, came in, and tore it all down. The government wants us to depend on them like an abusive husband and I'm the tired housewife, & so many of us are fed up.

I'm loving the Asian & Black community solidarity. Someone said it best, when you become pro-Asian, you can become pro-Black because you understand the intersectionality. We have both triumphed in the face of hate, but having that bond & community in place will only make us stronger!

They use black & white photos, but my mom remembers this happening & it made her second guess going to college.

So the Supreme Court continues to put our basic liberties & dignities at risk. A future president could literally torpedo the Supreme Court, with how this current administration disregards their rulings. That is the precedent that they've set, the Supreme Court has lost all credibility and respect.
Social Security data is highly sought after by criminals/ foreign governments who can use the information for identity theft or to gather intelligence. A federal judge temporarily blocked DOGE’s access to sensitive Social Security data in March, but the Supreme Court overruled that decision 1n June.
Here's our scoop from Tuesday. SSA says the data is secure. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

I was today years old when I found out that Israel was among one of the countries (US, Canada, France, UK) that was sending weapons to Haiti under the guise of aid to destabilize their government.

Russia and Russian sponsored entities are doing to the West what the US has been doing to Russia, the global south, and any nation not aligned with their interest. The redpill community, groypers, and groypers-adjacent did not emerge on their own from 4chan or gamergate. Can we talk about this?

Anytime a small company sells to a bigger company, the end product always ends up becoming worse. Why is quality always sacrificed for extra profit?

Theology is considered a "professional degree" but nursing isn't? WTF kind of handout is that? Has anyone ever met a professional theologian?

Folks, I advised you months ago to keep a close eye on Marco Rubio who's moving quietly in the shadows. Venezuela, Ecuador, and the Mexican debacle are part of a deliberate pattern. And, he's bent on regime change in Colombia.

Ukraine can outlast this Trump regime, but if they acquiesce to Russia's deal, they will get peace at the cost of their sovereignty. All those brave Ukrainians who defended their home with body & soul, will have fought in vain. Ukraine must reject these terms and turn to their European partners.

In case anyone is unclear on this one, memes like this are conservative propaganda. This one implicitly reduces the value of civil rights as it pertains to defense to zero, which is both false and offensive.
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

Also look at the company behind this, it's literally going to be using your videos to train new AI dataset because platforms like TikTok and Meta are being overrun by AI slop.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

You can still criticise what you use. Just like you can criticise who made it.
And it's not "performative outrage", it's the truth. Dorsey agrees with all the shitty things happening right now.

Jack Dorsey is starting a new app and I voiced the fact that I won't be supporting it. This user decides to give their two cents, completely ignoring the fact that Dorsey may have created Bluesky, but no longer has ties to the product. If you want to support Jack just say that, but get your facts!!
I'm merely pointing out the irony of this guy trying to take some sort of moral stance for using one of his products when, well *gestures around.*
It's performative outrage bullshit.
