Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

There are a lot of other things that you can do to stop death camps from being constructed but this is a real-name account. I'm sure you can read accounts of WWII and dystopian fiction to find out what some of them are.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

“Eventually” Ms. West said, “readers will not care.”
Imagine wishing for a world where you've successfully numbed out readers to their own humanity such that they don't care if you feel them AI slop.
This is "winning" to these people.
Stop, no one wants this.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Everyone owes Skepchick either an apology or a thank you (the latter from me obviously as I knew she was right from thee beginning),
“I don’t give a fuck. You guys suck. You’re idiots. I hate you.”

I wish sweet Liam nothing but love, comfort, safety and justice for the rest of his life.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

holy shit
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.
"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

Meet the gribble. These tiny pill-bug relatives live in the ocean and nosh on wood and plant debris. They were Enemy #1 during the days of wooden ships (along with shipworms), but have since faded into peaceful obscurity.
Like the gribbles of yore, may your future be filled with uneventful days.

Gosh, Rachel! You're such a Luddite. Why aren't you embracing AI as the powerful learning tool that it is?
A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

The difference between me and a booster is that I played around with LLMs when they first became a thing, and spent a lot of time learning about them before I decided to boycott them entirely.
Whereas boosters did not ever take the time to get good at art, writing, or thinking with their brains.
