The Russian Bots Went Silent. Or Did They?
Did Ukrainian strikes on Yandex silence Russian bots? The evidence doesn’t show it, and shrinking data access makes it harder to check.

I hope Dem leadership is ready to go to the mattresses here. They haven't in the past when it comes to Ilhan Omar.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

mary mother of melted candles i don’t like body shaming but this admin is fucking TESTING me
it seems the trump admin has a new state dept employee named barbera thornhill who’s leading efforts against human trafficking and i don’t even know how to describe her face except to say part of her anti-trafficking strategy is clearly jump-scaring the perpetrators

Some people, and I don't just mean Trump, have been moving through the world as though they would never face a potential consequence for any choice ever again, because they never planned on losing power. That means they think they can't afford to lose now. There are a lot of desperate moves ahead.

This will be broadly unpopular with the electorate but I don’t think involuntary denaturalization should ever occur in a liberal society. Once you take your oath of citizenship you should forever be a citizen.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

It's not that this country has never had state sanctioned murder for mass comsumption, it's just that at some point it became taboo to say that you wanted to actually see a lynching, but our current government is trying to get rid of that taboo and take America back to its roots.

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

I certainly hope that none of the companies working on AI ever succeed in creating actual machine consciousness, because none of those companies has any idea how to treat the humans who work for them in an ethical, moral, compassionate manner. Those companies will do far worse to conscious machines.

Punishment should only ever be in service to a crime committed. This execution will be clipped, memed, streamed, debated— all gruesome spectacle in service to a new cultural hegemony where aestheticized state violence is made to feel normal. We should be asking ourselves why this admin wants that

None of the Washington State Ferries posts or the reporting on yesterday cites a single specific person in its management, not even the head of the agency, Steve Nevey. If I'm being generous here, maybe that's because this is more Gov. Ferguson's doing? But, come on. This is cowardly.
