    #AI is going to kill us, but not in the typical scifi way: robots with laserguns or control over nuclear bombs That&#39;s too flashy. It will be far more mundane It&#39;s going to kill us via the firehose of falsehood The tricky part: The problem is not making people believe lies The problem is making us so cynical, we disbelieve truth In a world where nothing is trusted as true, and only bias remains, this will lead us down familiar societal paths of mob &quot;truth&quot; over real truste...

    Abdul #ElSayed Watch this clip and how he deftly dismantles #bigotry He makes the parallel between the heckler questioning his loyalties because he is Muslim, with #JFK dealing with the same #religiousBigotry about JFK being Catholic El-Sayed could go far. He&#39;s good at this

    &quot;Danish troops told to &#39;shoot first, ask questions later&#39; if #US invades #Greenland&quot; No one sane and reasonable has a problem with this stance #Imperialism goons have a problem with it But of course, on the measure of sanity and reasonability, I repeat myself As an American, I say: shoot them And I know many if not most (sane and reasonable) Americans agree with me https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/danish-troops-shoot-first-us-greenland-5HjdQNW_2/ #Denmark #Danmark #USA #Tru...

    Piers Morgan sucks but this is an important clip with #Zelensky &quot;We are losing a strong partner&quot; Of course we have all known this for some time now But the diplomatic way is to keep the drama under wraps and keep a facade of the cheerful smile. In the hopes that private dialogue might reverse things Therefore, when this is said openly, a public break, that means the calculus has shifted that this is an irredeemable situation 1/x #UkraineWar #Trump #Ukraine #USA

    #Zelensky: &quot;When our strikes reached #Yandex’s #datacenters, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many #socialMedia platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer #bots. It’s pretty clear where those bots were&quot; https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/ukraine-struck-yandex-data-centers-russian-bots-went-silent-now-questions-are-mounting-23339 #Russia #UkraineWar

    This is called the #pumpfoil. She is #pumpfoiling You pump up and down with your legs and that motion alone is all that is necessary to translate via a hydrofoil under the water surface (like a wing) to give you lift and forward motion You need good balance, endurance, and if you stop pumping you lose lift and sink rapidly EDIT: this is Alina Kornelli. See @bruno@federation.network &#39;s comment below EDITEDIT: @alinakornelli@youtube.com

    There&#39;s a country with an #election in 2026 where the opposition is #centrist, not #leftist Messing with the election, corrupt manipulation, by its authoritarian leader, figures in the election So what&#39;s the point of voting? Well the point is better, not perfection Btw: I&#39;m not talking about the #USA I&#39;m talking about #Hungary, where this is just announced: https://www.portfolio.hu/gazdasag/20260926/magyar-peter-bejelentette-2027-tol-jon-az-eddigi-terveknel-is-szigorubb-va...

    Say you have 2 districts 1. votes 60-40 for #Republicans 2. votes 55-45 for #Democrats So you move district borders around Now you have 1. 54-46 for Republicans 2. 52-48 for Republicans This is #gerrymandering This is the #USA&#39;s stupidity But! What if you have a deeply unpopular president? If you never moved the districts, #voter sentiment swing might leave one Republican district But *now* you lose both districts This might happen in #Texas: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/othe...

Amazingly, Meta: 1. shows why we are all here on the #fediverse away from corporate control, 2. and shows why their pervert glasses are so wrong: &quot;Meta removes stairist&#39;s [sic] critical video of employees filmed with company&#39;s glasses&quot; (for &quot;bullying&quot;, from #Instagram) https://nltimes.nl/202...
