Nic Cage:
I wonder what would have happened if folks had taken seriously the rise in political violence and threats against women, trans, Black, and antifascist organizers and figures back when we were all getting swatted and sent photoshops of ourselves beheaded
A massive, and massively underrated, threat to a functioning democracy. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...
POEM 378: "Twa Corbies" by Kyla Houbolt (@luaz.bsky.social)
"Two crows diverged
whose flights were tracked
in a yellow wood
by crow the third
who watched the horse
that lay quite still."
Be like Oinak! Pre-order early and OFTEN 😆
Getting politicians to at least stop sending people to X right now is crucial. Because not only are they sending people into the hot box of the biggest GOP Super PAC, but they're also feeding Elon crucial data that can be used to target voters better.
After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
This particular slur/insult/trope makes me nuts. In 2012 Warren was running against incumbent GOP Senator Scott Brown, who has won a special election for Ted Kennedy’s seat in 2010 in the Obamacare backlash (also bad Dem candidate and being a former nude model.)
“Someone who is Indigenous is going to carry those values and beliefs that they were raised with.. Their storytelling is going to be anchored around that." - Tamara Voudrach
"[An AI entity] that passes itself off as Indigenous is just another form of colonialism and erasure,” she said.
New interview with Romie Stott!
What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff
And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.
"The counseling office checks graduation requirements.
Wash U has been working to get software to do the same job. System cost the school $99M to implement. At that price, the school could have hired 20 work-study students for well over a century."
Ok so what did Pinhead summon before humanity had invented chains? Did he torment Neanderthals with crude ropes and some napped flint?
if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult
(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
Small, defenseless robots rolling around town will never be successful in NYC, not unless each one has a cop attached. People will destroy them: for the lulz; for Luddite reasons; out of sheer boredom; to satisfy curiosity about how they work; to strip them for parts. Hire humans. Pay fair wages.
Please help my friend Rook, if able (even if that just means sharing their post).
Under-radar stakes: Supreme Court elections. Justices who’ve upheld restrictions on abortion are up next month in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Texas. Justices who have sided with abortion access are up in Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Wyoming.
Why does every microwave have a “popcorn” button but every popcorn bag says “DONT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON?” We went deeper than I thought possible getting the DEFINITIVE answer. Talked to the popcorn industry, the microwave industry. Even the inventor of popcorn sensing microwave technology.
This is a really good story told in an interesting manner.
Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign AI waiver for “Spider-Noir”: ‘I am not an AI-friendly actor’
The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.
