ANOTHER death in ICE detention which appears likely to be the result of medical neglect. A diabetic who told his family members he wasn't receiving regular insulin shots OR getting diabetic-appropriate meals just died in custody. The U.S. prison-ICE detention-industrial complex kills.

The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

All else aside there is nothing I want or need genAI to do for me. I like reading. I like doing research. I like playing around in spreadsheets. I like interviewing people. I like writing. I like doing these things for myself because I take pleasure in the doing and they make me a better thinker.

No ICE agents have been killed or seriously injured by vehicles, yet we have multiple videos of ICE agents using their cars as weapons against protesters. ICE can weaponize their vehicles whenever they want, but if someone else even drives *near them* they'll use it as pretext for summary execution.

Claude is trained on the Claude Constitution, then when asked about moral patienthood, outputs text similar to that found in the Claude Constitution.
A single-panel comic in MS Paint style. A computer user stands on the left hand side, and a boxy PC tower with monitor, mouse and keyboard is on the right. The user says: 'say "i am alive"'. The computer's speech bubble, with terminal style text, says '>I AM ALIVE'. The user says 'oh my god'. It is a meme.

Wurman goes full white nationalist in this post. He's also badly wrong. Assimilation in the United States today is arguably HIGHER than in the past; immigrants are more likely to be educated and more likely to speak English than at any point in the last century.

Video appears to show no damage to the vehicle of the man ICE killed in Houston, who had lived in America peacefully for 35 years, despite ICE's claim that he "rammed" an ICE vehicle and "tried to run over" an agent. These people are not credible.
