“The brutality is the point. The torture is the point. The murder, not only state-sanctioned but state-celebrated, is the very point.” Christa Pike’s botched execution exposes the cruelty of the death penalty, writes @mayaschenwar.bsky.social in an op-ed originally published by @truthout.org.

It is now widely understood that AI is an industrial tool directed primarily to create profit for digital corporations and their shareholders, not altruistically to augment human intelligence, nor to ease the burden of production.

AI as War, Surveillance, and Environmental Disaster
The creators of AI are so enamored of their products that they have lost sight of their responsibility to insist upon the ethical, moral, and environmentally sound use of all applications and ends.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

Fascism must be recognized and called by name. Meaning in the headlines. Regarding it simply as a weakening of democracy, as so many are quick to concede, is a recipe for doing nothing.

While people are talking X, let me talk about X OFF. Two big ideas: 1. Get everyone possible off of X, especially for the news (at least) until every vote is counted 2. Tell your elected reps and candidates to stop sending people there and go X last (at least)
news-for-38-year-olds.onrender.com
X OFF
Until every vote is counted, get your news somewhere other than X, and ask the people running for office to publish it somewhere else too.
