AI Hater. If AI has one hater, I'm that hater. If AI has no haters, I am dead. I like fashion, bread, and books.
Pinned
No but really is there ANY field right now that is actively anti-AI, and are they hiring comms people? Because I really don't know how long I can do this and pretend to be OK.

Gov. Polis tells CBS that Tina Peters’ sentence was “harsh” and that he’s considering requests to grant her clemency.

There were real concerns among other elected officials that Polis would release Peters. This gives credence to those fears:

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

Two Americas.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Just throwing this out there: perhaps Dems' refusal to engage on deeply important issues like civil rights has helped to convince an unengaged populace that they actually aren't important, and that's why they're losing to fucking Nazis.

Just a thought.

"Capitalism does not produce a universal relation of waged labor; capitalism actually requires and reproduces the racial hierarchies that underpin all the processes of territorial expansion, dispossession, enslavement, ownership, proletarianization, surveillance, and border rule."

Really, if you'd done Reconstruction properly and hanged Robert E. Lee, Jeff Davis and the rest of them, you wouldn't be having these recurrent Nazi problems now.

Hiring manager updated the wrong job description & was beating himself up about it. I almost sent him this pic of @jortsthecat.bsky.social to illustrate that he doesn't need to beat himself up about it. But then I'd have to explain who Jorts the cat is to a Director. 😅

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational

ICE fascists murdered Renee Good. Renee's partner died in 2023. They had a 6 year old child.

ICE fascists just orphaned a 6 year old by murdering his mother in broad daylight. They murdered her less than a mile from where Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd.

Abolish ICE. End Qualified Immunity.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online.

Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.
