And if you insist on posting these things or keeping them up after you've been informed they're fake, that's going to be a quick block.
"Well, it could be true!" It's not.
"Well, you can imagine." Nope.
"Well, they do it!" Yeah, no.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start
If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Proud parent moment: When my 4th grader asked if I have been to the heart of NYC and when I asked what he meant he started to describe a 20th century poet—Langston Hughes! Turns out they are reading ‘Harlem’ in his class. He started to recite it and was genuinely excited about poetry.

The Nazi extermination programs didn’t begin with Jews. It began in September 1939 with the involuntary euthanasia of people with disabilities and the mentally ill under the Aktion T4 program. That’s how they developed their techniques of mass extermination.
Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Via @brianstelter.bsky.social. This is an example of what I've been trying to explain for the past decade: a dangerous demagogue like Trump is an "unaccountable leader," someone who uses rhetorical tricks to avoid being held accountable. Ask him a question and he calls you "an evil person."

Everyone thinks of 1944 auschwitz and not 1933 Dachau. It didn't start as extermination camps. It's a process to get there and one the Trump administration is starting now.
I have no doubt that Laura Loomer would be wearing a Nazi arm band in 1930s Germany.
But that does not make this concentration camp (or if you prefer, gulag) into an extermination camp.
It diminishes what happened at Auschwitz.

The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline.

Went to my local protest. Well attended, and cumulated with a professional history re-enactor as George Washington reading his speech of resignation rather than seek a 3rd term and the crowd singing ‘America the Beautiful’. A demonstration of peaceful protest by the loyal opposition.

Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:
1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

Pretty grossed out that our state of things in the US is that we take for granted that Musk bought an election, and Trump doesn’t even try to fig leaf it but instead threatens to withdraw all the fed contracts Musk acquired and deport him. This is king-like bullshit. Where the F* is congress???
