Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

Kinda sad. This is one of the few journal groups who really told evopsych to fuck off. I’m mildly disappointed.
AI slop gracing the cover of Royal Society B. Not only in AI yellow but scientifically nonsensical. Come on. I'm certain human photographs and artworks were ignored to platform ... this.

The answer is present in the images. There are too many people in humanities (those who might have major concerns of our collective future and political capabilities) and not enough people building us the utopian future (advancing the billionaire dreams of silicon slaves and mass unemployment).

The deskilling was a political education and praxis deskilling. Faculty for a while now has viewed itself as a distinct “professional” class and not as labourers. This was in part a strategy to justify political separation from the rest of the proletariat class and in part a response to the
I think this is true in a deep and troubling way. I have been observing this too. I am getting old & maybe I’m wrong, but I really feel basic academic, critical and intellectual, attitudes that were normal and prominent 20 years ago seem to have eroded. I agree, we need to understand how and why.
The scenario in which there are oligarchs powerful enough to succeed at their AI con and force LLMs onto the rest of society is the outright fascist and dystopian scenario. That higher ed has largely capitulated to the scam means it had already been deskilled. We need to understand how and why.

“Ultimately, the collective strategy of AI companies threatens to deskill precisely those people who are essential for society to function(…) automation of knowledge and culture by private companies is a worrying prospect – conjuring dystopian and outright fascistic scenarios.” — @olivia.science

Their post game is weak and they are being outcompeted by the influx of posters. Natural selection remains victorious. Our children will feast on theirs in the future of the jungle.
I saw a comment showing actual statistics (they love that shit) about how rationalists were the original citizens of skitter. Now they've been outpopulated and are roundly mocked for their ideas by a vast influx of leftish Twitter refugees griping about having been shouted down and displaced. Sad!

If a black student recorded the racist comments of their classmates I promise you that university would bring all their disciplinary powers down on that student. Zionists get a special dispensation. Everyone should ask why.
Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

People will always fear hunger more than dead principles. If you want to actually change the tide you have to engage in changing the incentive structure. this means political organizing to have a greater degree of influence by academics over the administrative and funding apparatuses of academia.

academia conditions the autistic intellectuals among us to yearn for prisons. to be cocooned in the safe and comfortable chains of conformity and petty status.
Sounds like effort man I'm gonna keep posting instrumentally to acquire petty status but not wealth or prestige outside of the website I think.
