In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free. https://t.co/7MDXrwIyjy
Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average.
This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'
It’s been found in the DMV and it is thought it’s being found within fruits and vegetables in SYSCO supplied restaurants and Taylor Farm products. But we don’t have a working CDC or HHS to track so this is gonna be a mess
I am sorry but we are in a climate crisis and data centers continue to poison communities filled with marginalized people. You SHOULD be ashamed and embarrassed to be using ai
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

do you understand what just happened to your computer..
Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..
It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.
And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.
Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.
At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.
The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.
Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel
To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.
Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.

We’re just not going to be able to survive that. So that’s the position we’ve been forced into.”
