Hey, was the soul crushing, land stealing, water guzzling plagiarism part of the data furnace #AI nonsense not quite enough for you to consider them a danger? How about knowing they're also rat fink informers? https://www.techspot.com/news/114091-florida-woman-used-claude-diary-anthropic-reported-shoot.html?ref=explainx #anthropic #claude #FeloniousDiary

So, I gotta tell ya gang, I'm a little worried about the #IDF takeover of American media companies. With the new #Skydance merger, effective on Oct 6, #Ellison and Son, and their stated policy in multiple public interviews is "that corporate allegiance to #Israel is unwavering and that employees who disagree have no place in the company", will control: Streaming Platforms & Apps • Paramount+ • HBO Max • Pluto TV • Discovery+ • SkyShowtime Film Studios • Paramount • Warner...

Holy mother of god. Some satellite images from #Gaza have been unembargoed on google. #Rafah is gone. Just gone. Khan Younis is ruins. Everything, gone. #Palestine is being ethnically cleansed so billionaires can have a new playground. This is what #Israel has done. This is their crime, the blood of 22,637 children stains the hands of every member of the #IDF. This is #America's crime, this is everyone who has ever supported #Israel's crime. This is unforgivable. We are a terrible cou...

Y’all. Texas where I am hasn’t had measurable rain since May, and the weather man is saying we’re finally going to get water from the sky. Yay, you say…except, this land is clay and limestone. Dry, dry, 5” deep cracks in the ground, dry soil. If we get the projected rainfall, it’s gonna flood. And if it floods on the prairie, it’s gonna be nightmare time in the Hill Country and below. So, if you’re one of the millions of folks who moved here since the last go round with weather, when the rains...

RE: https://c.im/@msbellows/117327725373472404 I'm so old I remember a federal prosecutor (Ortiz) hounding a darling boy (Aaron Schwartz) to suicide by threatening him with 30 years in prison for downloading academic articles with borrowed university credentials. One of the brightest minds of a generation was snuffed out by aggressive prosecution for "hacking", while we're letting billionaires do it wholesale without a peep from the DOJ.

This is a beautifully argued short essay about how the techbros have lost the plot, and we need to remind everyone of that, all the time. Quote: It is imperative for us to push back on that. Now we don’t get to talk to Jensen Huang – which might be good for our intellectual and psychological well-being – but we talk to people who might accept those statements and argue based on that. “Jensen Huang said that we don’t need those skills”, “Sam Altman said that Intelligence is something that we ca...

RE: https://mastodon.world/@humanhorseshoes/117310185742897075 Trump wants to buy materials from a UN sanctioned oligarch who is allowing #russia to stage attacks on civilians in #Ukraine from it's territory, instead of buying it next door from our buddies in #Canada. What's it going to take before the #GOP grows a spine and does something about the mad king? (Edit, sentence construction)

Hey #Denver pocket friends! If I were to be in Denver on Halloween, what part of town would I want a hotel? In Dallas, the whole area of Oak Lawn becomes a massive adult party with the most amazing costumes. Denver must have something similar, yes? Where there are drag queens and ooonce ooonce blaring into the street, and glitter as far as the eye can see? I want to see the pretty people, while staying out of their way. Where are Denver's peacocks on Hallow's Eve?

Speaking of boycotts, #Omarchy is an open-source Linux distribution created by David Heinemeier Hansson (#DHH), the coder behind Ruby on Rails. DHH has also been infected by the billionaire virus that turns rich white guys into white supremacists. His comments have been pretty vile, some verging on exterminationism. DHH is a Nazi, and Omarchy is a vibe-coded Nazi bar. But he’s not alone in that Nazi bar. You want a list of people who’ve given millions to the cause of this Nazi? I got you....

This was almost a throwaway paragraph in the middle of the article, but I want to highlight what we are allowing billionaires to do, instead of paying taxes. Quote: …Kraft’s antisemitism nonprofit the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, which spent $62 million and collected $135 million in donations in 2024, keeps a “command center” based in Gillette Stadium that claims to monitor between 500 million and one billion social media posts a day /quote He’s not the only one.

OMG. Y'all! The WH #Press Pool found their collective spine and said that if some journalists were not allowed, then nobody would put a camera in the malignant narcissist's face, and see how he likes it when there's nobody who can see or hear him spout syphilitic slanders. “This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President,” Boughton wrote in the email, obtained by POLITICO. “This follows the White House’s...

And if the rumors are true, then apparently Exxon's own Senator Cornyn of Texas, a man who has never seen an oligarch's cock he would not suck, came out and said that Paxton was a corrupt, smirking, woman-bothering asshole, but as far as I can tell, d...

So, I've stayed out of the whole #Sheeran / #Macklemore situation because I honestly don't think I could have picked either of them out of a lineup. But as it's escalated, and people are choosing sides, we need to talk about something it has illuminated so brightly it cannot be ignored. #Zionism. And why we need to talk about it is because there is a difference between it and #Judaism, and people on many sides, for many political reasons, are trying to make the two synonymous in t...

Hey, so about that #AI going to kill us all thing...while #agentic AI is mob of authorized crackers and should be stopped...it's what the war machines are doing with it that is the real concern. Have you seen #Palestine? That's what AI targeting looks like in the field. Nothing left standing. In January of this year, Pete Hegseth released a memo directing the United States to embed AI in every part of the “kill chain.” As it moves to comply, the Department of Defense is placing rela...

Omg y’all, I have finally put enough red string on the board to figure it out. The tsunami of “ai will kill is all” is all coming from the #EffectiveAltruist (EA) network. So, all of the swarm failures in ai testing has come from one lab: #Irregular, a Tel Aviv-based frontier #AI security lab founded in 2023 by Dan Lahav (CEO) and Omer Nevo (CTO). Irregular's founders are deeply embedded in the (EA) network, through organizations funded by Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook co-founder). ( cites...

Oh look, man who trades on fear says "ooooh, be very afraid....again!" If agentic AI is as dangerous as they claim, then turn it off. Easy peasy. If it's not as dangerous as they claim, then for the love of Bob, stop nattering on with this Roko's basilisk fanfic just to juice your circular wankfest of funding rounds.

Hey gang, we’ve reached that point in the timeline when soap is delivering pathogens that can kill you. Because of course we are. Actually, the chance of bacterial contamination in liquid soap is much higher than you might think. It’s one reason my soap company didn’t manufacture it. Liquid detergents, which aren’t really “soap”, rely on preservatives to prevent germs from growing. If raw ingredients (like water or botanical extracts) are pre-contaminated, or if facility machinery isn’t prop...

You know the whole #Coxon #Anthropic "We're all gonna die" thing? It's kinda looking like paid astroturfing. Marketing psyop to coincide with #Nvidia declaring that microchips are "long term investible assets". We are being played, y'all. Jacob had almost zero footprint, wiped his X before the post, and had only been at Anthropic for a few months. Within a few minutes of the WSJ dropping the story, he does his announcement post on the twitters, and is instantl...

Today, I will mostly be making Maghmour (Lebanese moussaka) and pide bread. I will also be giving up on the entire concept of fake nails. As Bob is my witless, I am an anti-glue force of nature. Things don’t fall off, they fly as though my fingers have said ptooooie at them. I suspect they were not designed for people who wash their hands a million times a day, and who do things like bake bread and cook, and get gunk under their nails.

Hey, let's talk about some dangerous numbers. The federal unemployment rate, reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, counts people who do not have jobs, are available for work and actively seeking employment. The #BLS reported a 4.1% #unemployment rate for July 2026. The Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, or #LISEP, measures people without jobs, workers who want full-time work but are employed part time involuntarily, and workers earning less than $26,000 a year before ta...

Sorry I’m about to talk about cows again. But seriously, this announcement from Trump was nothing but a ploy to depress head prices on the Sept 1 sales. (We’ve talked before about how cattle sales work, I won’t bore you again, but 1st of month is a big deal.) Why do I say it was a ploy? Because I can math. 300,000 tons of beef would mean 1.2 MILLION head of cattle would go to slaughter just for ground beef, no sirloins, no ribeye, no filet…if the whole cow was ground up, it would take that man...

@Wen@mastodon.scot To be fair, the Republicans have spent my entire lifetime, and I'm old, dismantling the education system because they're still mad about desegregation. One neighbor is a teacher, and another is a librarian, and the literacy rates they report are staggeringly bad. Some kids are hitting high school still functionally illiterate. And it is by design. Ignorant people are significantly easier to control.

I have a luncheon to attend in a few short minutes. It is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and it feels like 108. I tell you that story so I can tell you this one; there is no way to apply socially mandated makeup for women of certain age in this heat. I would need a trowel, a quickset concrete and spray cans. I’m going bare faced and I dare anyone to say something.
