THANK YOU, I’m getting real tired of folks acting like Germany is the root of all evil when (as of right now) it’s not illegal to open a damn history book
Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.
The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.
This is your friendly reminder that data centers don't actually need water. They need a cooling system and are using water because it's the cheapest way to do it.
This movie unironically whips because instead of trying to be a gritty recreation of 90s hacking, it now serves as a time capsule to an almost magical techno-fantasy of pre Y2K cyber-optimism.
A beautiful cyberpunk escapism bedtime story compared to the world we got.
They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.
Yet in just the last few days:
-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.
-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.
-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.
The surveillance state isn't inevitable.
It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.
Public pressure works. Keep pushing.
Meta removing the Instagram AI feature after widespread backlash is proof that collective action works. Now we just need to continue that energy and fight back against all generative AI and mass surveillance in all forms.
The erasure of black girls in media is real and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It’s to the point where you can’t ignore what’s happening. There’s no valid excuse as to why black girls can’t be cast in these y/a projects or why there isn’t more black led y/a projects.
If you want to know why it’s 100+ degrees everywhere. WAR. BOMBS. CHEMICAL AGENTS. FIRES. OIL LEAKS. TOXINS IN THE WATER. DEFORESTATION. REMOVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS.
MAN. GREED. IGNORANCE.
Notice how the people who deny global warming are those who are creating it for greed?
I DO NOT think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.
Btw if your a streamer, the new Windows update added AI voice clarity and enabled it by default, to turn it off, open settings -> system -> sound -> click ur mic -> turn off voice clarity
the fact that she's given so much and has not run out of money really puts into perspective how the arguments against a wealth tax on billionaires are just bs
the treatment of dark-skinned women always seems to exist on a spectrum of extremes. it's either discrimination through colourism and misogynoir, or an overemphasis on their "chocolate", "melanin-rich", "nubian skin”. people rarely seem to just treat them as ordinary people.
