Despite the insistence of MAGA hats that "tHeRe aRe oNlY TwO GeNdErS", it's vastly more complex than that. Here's a nice overview.

Using AI takes so much of the fun out of hacking. It's not _not_ fun, but there's something special about figuring stuff out for yourself.

The UK social media ban for under-16s does nothing to sort out the harms caused by platforms.

Harmful content is a product of a business model that uses data to drive engagement and target users with ads.

Digital ID checks feed more data into this system, while leaving the engine for harms unchecked.

Me: "What'd you study in school today?"

Kid: "We talked about poverty."

Me: "Oh, like what?"

Kid: "In countries where people make a dollar a day."

Me: "You know there's a woman living in her car in front of the house?"

Kid: Stunned silence.

Wife: "What?!?"

To sum up, many autistic ‘deficits’ may only be deficits such in a material world that requires very high sensory tolerance & the constant filtering of a barrage of human-made information...

... and in a social world that's built around implication, hierarchy, performance and obedience.

Conor McGregor says many offensive things. Most US folk, even those that don't follow MMA, know who Conor is. Conor loses a lot. He has only won 1 fight since 2016.🤷🏿‍♂️

Khabib Nurmagomedov avoids saying offensive things. Most people don't know who he is. He retired undefeated, having never lost in MMA.

Does that say something about Conor?

Or about UFC fans?

Or about Americans?

What are we worshipping?

The SpaceX IPO Is A Giant Unworkable Con Orchestrated By An Overt White Supremacist Huckster. “He’s endlessly mythologized by a shitty corporate press, eager to ignore his virulent racism & financial fraud bc he’s accumulated obscene amounts of money.” https://karlbode.com/the-spacex-ipo-is-a-giant-unworkable-con-orchestrated-by-an-overt-white-supremacist-huckster

People manipulating Reddit are turning AI search into garbage, but Reddit makes money on this, so why would it try to fix the problem? https://www.404media.co/it-is-trivially-easy-to-use-reddit-to-manipulate-ai-search-research-suggests/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter

New modeling from The Lancet suggests the USAID funding cuts will kill 14 million people.

Many of them are children.

600,000 have already died.

The man who gutted the program?

Elon Musk. The world’s first trillionaire.

He has a trillionaire dollars and is murdering the poorest people on earth.

He should be in jail.

Billionaires and trillionaires should not exist in a world where millions die from poverty every year.

Leaked White House memos show top Trump administration lawyers were concerned by proposals to suspend habeas corpus and invoke the Insurrection Act.

This article underscores why our legal fight for the preservation of — and access to — presidential records is critical.

Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

This is not a drill.

If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

Sea surface temperatures in a key monitoring region for El Niño continue already at record high levels for this time of year. This is due to the long-term warming of the tropics (human-caused climate change), as well as the growing +ENSO event.
