#Fascism doesn’t work nearly as well without a #surveillance state so you get stories like this…

Imagine going back and telling a 2010 Republican that the US is actively working against our allies and supporting Russia in a war. They would be absolutely apoplectic. But that’s what the president of the United States is currently doing. What are we hearing from Republicans? 🦗🦗🦗 What’s the […]

At HarperCollins senior leaders purchased Claude licenses from Anthropic months ago "but very quickly realized they didn't know how to implement them," according to a current employee. Dozens of junior- and senior-level staff were then "voluntold" to become "AI Champions" and were tasked with discovering use cases in monthly brainstorming sessions with staff across the company.

Federal agents executed a search warrant on Monday at the home of Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, -- the kind of investigative step the Justice Department has long shied away from so close to an election. The court-approved search of her Washington-area home comes after Department of […]

We really could power the entire world with wind, solar, and water power if we had the political will to do it. Crush the fossil fuel industry. They’re killing our planet for short-term profits.

@futurebird I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this situation. You are not alone. Many of us are IT for our elderly parents / in laws / relatives and it’s very hard. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to disinfect my MIL’s computer because she downloaded a virus clicking on those scammy […]

“asking him to do “the bare minimum of being a senator” often involves “begging” him to take meetings, one former staffer said, sharing a sentiment echoed by several others. “It was like arguing with a toddler every day,” the former staffer said, adding that it felt like “arguing with him […]
