As citzen of the US I am so embarrassed by our country. This is insane. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Gulf of Mexico. Google stop being embarrassing, you look really dumb and unreliable.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this. You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

Project Hail Mary author Andy Weir doing an interview with The Critical Drinker is deeply disappointing to see. I had thought better of Weir, and if I'm being kind, maybe he doesn't know the kind of bigot CD is, but even that speaks to how white dudes simply don't think about this shit & it shows.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

I don't want to share the actual videos, because no one should stumble upon them without warning, but this analysis by NYT reporters is important. ICE agents straight up murdered someone and fled the scene of their crime. They are cowards, criminals, and disgusting excuses for human beings.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
Alt text: A tweet from Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) dated August 27, 2025. The tweet calls for Health and Human Services to violate HIPAA laws and forward information about every transgender and transgender-questioning person to law enforcement for immediate detainment, claiming they are killing children in schools. It describes this as a matter of national security, says transgender people should be locked away and studied, calls for medical professionals who enable transitions to be expelled from the profession, and demands that the federal government treat transgender people as if they were terrorist organizations.
