Imagine having a government where we didn't have to tell our elected officials (who are supposedly on ours side) how to do their jobs
Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

Gonna send this to Canadians with the flag emoji whenever they boast about their supposed superiority. All western governments are in lockstep.

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.
I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

For me to respond ethically, I need to rest. I agree with so many of you on my feed, but my mind is shutting down (and emotionally spent). I will re-engage when I can.

"I made a sign for my dog to carry!"
All these mfs are going to do is apply for a protest permit, wait for it to be approved, walk though the sectioned off streets with clever signs, give water to the police sent to intimidate them, leave by dusk then be subdued until the next decisive step towards a fascist dictatorship. Rinse. Repeat

People's homes are gone, their family members are wounded and dead, their lives are collapsing. They're waking up into their worst nightmare and it's not a distraction from "more important issues", it *is* the most important issue.

OK, I’ll have more in the light of day, but we’re at diminishing returns for me now. … Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.
(And, if you’re newer to me: Yes, I know I don’t always do this myself. I’m human! This is a reminder to me as much as it is to anyone else.)

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

This is a stark reason—one of several—to be very cautious here. Others: Almost everyone involved is an unreliable narrator. It’s night. It’s the new year weekend and so still a holiday time for most journalism staffing operations.
People are getting calls now, and getting to work, but be cautious.

Whatever the fuck is going on is clearly very bad and an era of fake/recirculated video making it very hard to tell what is real is making it even worse.

Yeah, no. “Slop” is ubiquitous now. The normies say slop. Even “AI” as a derogatory noun for something that looks in any way crappy is commonplace. The opportunity to prevent that was before they released an unfinished, unpolished technology on the masses. Now we’re here.
as if the onus for improving quality and usefulness is somehow on the critics or the consumer
Microsoft's Satya Nadella wants you to stop saying AI "slop" in 2026
In closing comments of 2025, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shared an update on the company's mindset for 2026 — shocker, it's all about AI.
