I’m an Indigenous advocate now working as an AI ethicist, focused on the Alignment Problem and its intersection with culture. My advocacy work is now primarily in Indigenous data sovereignty.

What a damning article. I decided to block & ignore any entertainer that went, & will do the same to entertainers who go in the future. My lone voice doesn't matter in the larger scheme, but it does my soul good to know my orbit favors integrity while the world is aflame.

Instead of empowering Palestinians to govern themselves, the plan inserts foreign technocrats, gives Israel veto power through “milestones,” then places Trump himself in the literal chair of authority. It’s the opposite of self-determination - it’s colonial stewardship dressed up as redevelopment. 🍉

I'm sorry, was this about US/ICE, or Saudi Arabia? ➡️ "A recent U.S. State Department report on Saudi Arabia's [...] record in 2024 listed [...] 'arbitrary or unlawful [...] disappearances, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, and serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom,'"

The optics are devastating. States know cameras are rolling, and walking out en masse says to the world: “This man does not speak with legitimacy.” For Netanyahu, who thrives on projecting strength, the isolation will sting worse than any resolution or report.

This tells us two things: how brittle the façade of power is, & how desperately the world wants someone to remind it that courage still exists.

There’s something deeply ironic here too. She’s mocked endlessly for being “just a kid,” but this "kid" was enough to shift state-level military calculus.

MAGA “Jesus" is less a sandal-wearing revolutionary flipping tables in temples & more a white suburban dad with anger management issues, a gun rack & a DUI. What better way to prove you're full of Christian love than rage-screaming at software for questioning your soul’s alignment (✅Lawful Evil).

This is about a legal system built on ownership of the lens, not the subject. Under current U.S. copyright law, made for an analog world, the photographer owns the rights to any photo they take - even if the subject is the person paying them or being stalked by them. So technically, she can be sued.

This isn't a principled stance, but a personal proximity pushing policy. Melania is one of the most deepfaked women online. Trump isn't known for compassion toward women. He is known for retaliating when what's “his” is threatened. It doesn't invalidate the positive utility of the law. It's overdue.

There’s no "Stage 5" in standard cancer staging. Ofc, we don’t look to the Trumps for intelligence. To mock Biden’s cancer & Jill’s creds fits their worldview: everything a reality show & human suffering mere set dressings. This isn’t politics, it’s cruelty as branding. A brand they wear with pride.

Clicked thinking this was a real evolutionary link between modern moths & Cambrian species. What I got was a radiodont with gills in its posterior & a name that reads like fan fiction written by a very caffeinated paleontologist. I came for phylogeny. I left with a need to exfoliate my frontal lobe.
