AI is both an existential threat to mankind AND an overblown marketing hypnosis con job at the same time. Part of the reason it's so dangerous is that it's controlled and developed by men who have a vested interest in both playing up every bad thing it does and making it better at doing bad things.

ACLU of Massachusetts @aclum.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
Massachusetts' history is inseparable from the history of Indigenous peoples who have called this land their home for centuries. We honor Indigenous communities for their enduring presence and ongoing pursuit of justice.
Earth color background graphic with neon green text. Heading reads “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” Sub text below reads “Today we honor Native Americans (and not that other guy)” with ACLU logo at the bottom left. Earth color background graphic with neon green text. 

Heading reads “Why Indigenous Peoples' Day?”

Sub text reads “Honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day is an effort to tell the truth about our country's history.
Since the '90s, universities, localities, and states have formally replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' or Native Americans' Day. The fight to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day began much earlier- led by Native American and Indigenous people advocating for our voices to be heard- and the movement has grown larger every year” with  ACLU logo on the bottom left. Earth color background graphic with neon green text. 

Heading reads “Why Indigenous Peoples' Day?”

Subtext reads “It's also a day to celebrate Native cultures and recognize the fights for justice and autonomy that Native Americans still face. In many cases, the passing of bills to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day have been accompanied by measures to preserve our culture and language, as well as attempts to reconcile wrongs done to our communities” with ACLU logo at the bottom left.

A U.S. charity in Gaza is worried that teachers at its schools might stray from a curriculum it says promotes peace and tolerance, so it plans to record classroom conversations and use artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed “hateful” or “inciting.”

The primary objective of journalism is supposed to be telling the truth. It is a DECISION on the part of USA Today to know that new details have emerged about this case and to refuse to update an old story that is still circulating and still shaming Jane Doe.

Many people who I knew at Oxford shared this mentality. The idea that wealth and privilege are a reward for hard work and talent, and that being low income/ working class /from a deprived background was a choice.

Let’s remind Hegseth of Casimir Pulaski’s example, in the spirit of 1776 that the Secretary touts. General Pulaski— the father of the American Calvary and hero of Savannah— was an intersex or trans Polish horseman who came to this country, saved George Washington’s life, and died for our Revolution.
