One of the most shocking things I’ve seen in Ukraine - seemed too incredible to be real but it is: how could any govt be kidnapping its citizens, forcing them kicking, screaming & crying to go fight/die against their will? And no one says a thing about this? No human rights group? NO ONE? Where is the outrage from world leaders? From the world? WHY ARE WE - AMERICAN TAXPAYERS - STILL FUNDING THESE PSYCOPATHS?
Been on twitter a little too much lately so I’ve decided to exercise my free will to use it a little less for while. Never forget this is always an option. And one which probably most of you should consider.
I have to search outside of X for information on what is happening in the Middle East, because for some reason X chatter on this topic has vanished, but FYI, Turkey is threatening to take over Jerusalem and revive the Ottoman Empire and you will hear CRICKETS about this from the "Free Palestine" people who accuse Israel of being colonizers and stealing their land.
"Just as we witness the liberation of Damascus, Aleppo, and Karabakh, we will also witness the liberation of Jerusalem... [The city] will one day be freed from occupation and return under Turkey's influence." - Turkish Interior Minister (Mustafa Çiftçi)
""In this city that we had to leave in tears during the First World War, it is still possible to come across traces of the Ottoman resistance. So Jerusalem is our city, a city from us." - President Erdogan
Dario Amodei of Anthropic says in his latest essay that fully autonomous AI weapons are evil and bad and absolutely need to be banned, except when they are used to kill Russians, which is justified and necessary
One year ago today, 37 countries took a landmark step to protect our ocean by establishing the High Ambition Coalition for a Quiet Ocean to address the growing prevalence of underwater noise pollution and the harmful impacts it can have on marine species.
🚨BREAKING: Apple’s next AirPods will have cameras built into them.
Not for photography. The cameras are designed to feed visual information directly to Siri, turning your earbuds into an eyes-on AI assistant that understands what is in front of you.
Point them at your fridge and ask what to cook. Walk into a room and ask what you are looking at. Siri sees what you see.
A privacy LED will light up whenever visual data is being transmitted, so there is always a visible signal when the cameras are active.
Enhanced Siri arrives in September. Production on the camera AirPods is already underway.

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at https://t.co/ODEJlqLss3, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag.
The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure.
A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

The best thing you can do to preserve your sanity in the modern media environment is consume zero podcasts. Just stay away. Otherwise, you inevitably become like Jeffrey Sachs, babbling incoherently about how Trump attacked Iran because he's been blackmailed by Israel via Epstein
Yes def rethink that.
The entire tech infrastructure depends on breaking social bonds and turning them into to screen addicts. That’s why you are on here sharing opinions instead of IRL.
Cities implementing phones to operate everything ensures it.
Great! Next do Jackson Hinkle. Is it possible that there is anyone on politic internet that isn’t some sort of a double agent content maker?
Let’s do a live space on this topic.
The accounts that get huge in a few weeks or months are just as shady as main stream media. As if mainstream media investors don’t have holds all over this platforms.
I have been on here long enough to watch small accounts, who are basically news repeaters become very large accounts and become the very thing that they hated
