I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and still, to this day, people are babbling about the "AI revolution" as the sky rains blood and crevices open...

I know the world is kind of crappy right now, but in the last year I’ve seen a total solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse, some sun dogs, a moon dog, and a bunch of auroras. So, at least the universe is still pretty neat. Here’s my shitty camera photo of the lunar eclipse tonight.

My husband, a non-theater person, recently:
“Musical theater is radical as fuck.”
“Theater kids would probably take over the world if they weren’t so good at processing their emotions through song.”
These came unprompted while I was playing politically themed musicals. I feel seen.

Trump attacks Zelenskyy as a ‘dictator without elections’ who duped US
The president’s remarkable attack on the Ukrainian president is sure to deeply worry international allies and domestic supporters of an American-led global order.

I dreamt that we were preparing for potential air raids and we were supposed to keep our houses as dark as possible at night but no one was taking it seriously and I kept running around turning lights off but they kept adding lights and getting mad at me and I think I need a vacation from everything

Wouldn’t it be funny if they’re running AI through the treasury department data to find all the spending cuts they need to reach their goal, but the AI is just telling them that it would make more sense to instead increase revenue by taxing the rich?
Ok, unlikely, but fun to imagine.

I’m not sure if he understands that one of the big differences between a company and a country is that when you sabotage a company, the employees find new jobs. When you sabotage a country, the people are still there. And they’re pissed. And there are a lot of them.

It’s amazing how they put together an entire cabinet that exemplifies exactly why DEI initiatives were necessary in the first place. And the strongest opposition voices are showing why it was a good thing. They were never going to open that door to let the most competent people in.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Hi! First post so I’m not sure how much visibility this will get, but does anyone have any recommendations for accounts to follow or resources focused on misinformation/disinformation?
I’m interested in learning more about any research related to it (e.g. history, politics, psychology, technology).
