And just like that, it completely VANISHED from the media. But a sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Don't trust me... listen to him 👇

yesterday was 23 years since rachel corrie was crushed to death by israeli forces driving a bulldozer over her. in 2013 israeli soldiers made "rachel corrie" pancakes

Israeli soldiers have depraved “fun” making “Rachel Corrie pancakes”
Their celebration and joking about Rachel Corrie's death reflects the culture of dehumanization inculcated into Israeli soldiers.

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about. Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards. From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:
XhatGPT idiotic layout of 13amp plug wiring. Just random wires really. CoPilot AI diagram of plug wiring. Two live wires, one forked off the earthm and a screw head is also labelled Live. And finally, Gemini AI diagram of 13 amp plug wiring. Hard to know where to even begin with this. Just a mess really.

message from MN
From a Comrade
19h. C
One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin
Cities right now is that even the most long term
organizers who've been here for decades can't keep
track of all the resistance that is going on. There are
so many self-organized crews just doing work that in
any conversation with someone from another
neighborhood you might stumble over a whole
collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think
of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around
fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers
taking cars of detained people away for free. People
delivering food to families in hiding. So many local
rapid response groups that the number is uncertain
but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds-
especially when one considers that several
immigrant communities have their own non-English
rapid response networks usually uncounted in the
main English-language directories. People standing
watch outside daycares and schools.
This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative
and leadership, so many layers of self-organization,
that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to
repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or
movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of
course, that's built up through many years and
decades of organization, and not only through
explicitiv political campaigns or formations built
during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also
built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building,
workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic
relationship building among neighbors and
coworkers here.From a Comrade

I wrote this when Nell McCafferty turned 80 in March. She was fierce and funny and she was right - so often - when it was a very dangerous thing to be. Nell was a giant whose impact on all our lives is likely incalculable. Her loss is Derry's, Ireland's, and everyone's. RIP.
In the past century, few people can claim to have been present for more of Ireland’s social and political upheavals than Nell McCafferty. Fewer still can claim to have been the active agent of said changes. A key figure in the Northern Irish civil rights movement – who returned to Derry from London the day after The Troubles started and immediately joined the riots – and the fight for women’s liberation, she also campaigns for the rights of children, is a tireless champion against the stranglehold of Catholic Church institutions and an advocate the rights of LGBT people on both sides of the Border.

Throughout she’s also been a prolific and astute writer, inarguably one of the most important of her, or any other, time – whether documenting the Troubles, championing the cause of the Kerry Babies, or spinning yarns of delicious humour and rare candour in her memoir, Nell.For many years, the price she paid for being on the right side of history was to be reviled in whatever present she stood. Charged at by soldiers, politicians, journalists and priests in opposition to her numerous stands, she also found conflict within her own movements. In the closed world of male republicanism, her feminism was rebuked. To some of her feminist allies in Dublin, her republicanism was a liability. As always, she put this best herself. “In the south” she wrote, “I could be a feminist; in the north I could be a fighter”.

Her fight, it turned out, was everyone’s. Her life and work continue to be an incredible gift to everyone who’s come after.

And, though her chronicling of injustice and social change is an invaluable resource for us all, Nell McCafferty is no mere witness to history. More than almost anyone else I can think of, Nell McCafferty helped build the future.
