1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.

Trump has hung a picture of him and Putin, in the public part of the White House. I’m grossed out. https://www.thetimes.com/article/e9fd64e6-07a7-46f9-a60f-4d3793d25e79
@heidilifeldman below this photo is a literal derailed train of neoliberals "YES! I KNEW HE WAS A RUSSIAN ASSET! HA HA HA WE HAVE HIM NOW! COVFEFE EVERYONE"
Psst: remember "them tax returns", and how he hilariously played every establishment liberal? Quote "you will never, ever, ever, ever get those tax returns", then liberals gathered EVERYONE up and... and... you got the returns, that showed nothing you could use.
This is that. This is you being gamed, AGAIN lmaaao

I don't even know where to begin with how to describe what a terrible horrible no good very bad idea this is. Wait, maybe I do…
@jaredwhite Maybe now, definitely not when LLMs mature. Generating effects is exactly the place where LLMs are already good - I needed a dream state shader that is otherwise unavailable and I don't know shader language, but I got it generated and it worked exactly as I needed. Computer-assisted creativity.
1/ Congestion pricing in New York City, one year later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgRTyKbkDUo
• Car traffic: −11%
Positive effects (many nonlinear):
• Broadway revenues: +11%
• Storefront vacancies: decreased
• Crime on transit: −5.5% (safety in numbers)
• Serious injury crashes: −9%
• Illegal parking complaints: −14%
• Network delay from traffic jams: −28.4%
• Excessive honking reports: −70%
• Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution: −22%
Even people who drive cars are now predominantly in favor.

Yes, but, also, anything for profit, anything for the stock price. Also, It's not corporate betrayal, it's #capitalism. Corporations do capitalism and that's what we see here.
Corporations do no care for humanity, if it seems to you that they do, that's marketing. Apple marketing has created story about a company that cares about #privacy, creativity and helping humans be better. #Apple marketing has convinced people it is the caring rebel.
It's not betrayal because it was never for you.
@lycophidion as I've learned more about birds I've really come to love all the sparrows :)
@idzie
Definitely very cool creatures! My fav is the Saltmarsh Sparrow.
@AnarchoNinaWrites timing is too convenient, doing ANOTHER No Kings so soon after we saw the ruling class knees buckle after one day of striking by brave Minnesotans? I’ve been very suspicious of that org since they happened across my feed. “Call your senators!”
How many times do you expect the working people to fall for that obvious scam? They aren’t “our” senators and they’re not “our” congresspeople. Jokers.
Perhaps an album full of them from various artists. Neil Young, Billy Bragg, Bob Dylan etc. proceeds to immigration protection initiatives.
Hey #EverythingOpen - let's all help @hackuador #OpenMyGov ?
Great lightning talk.

The needle is lost in the straw.
The straw breaks the camels back.
COINCIDENCE?!
I think not.
New year...new Fediverse?! Hello! I'm Joe (They/Them), a UK based nerd. 😊 By day, I work for the UK's Government Digital Service, by night...I am interested in a lot of things, including #FOSS, #dogs, #trains and #boardgames. Looking forward to getting back into using Fedi and getting to know people. 💜
Last week I hooked up with @jaz from Tŵt Cymru, the community-owned Welsh social network. We’re combining forces to launch the first Tŵt app on March 1st, Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant (St David’s Day).
The Tŵt mobile app is vibrantly Welsh, easily accessible for new users, and a model for social communities worldwide. Reflecting the Pethau Bychain (Little Things) campaign behind the app. It’s all about building a digital commons from small acts of hospitality and kindness.

"When an army is in retreat its highly vulnerable. It’s usually moving from one entrenched position to — hopefully — another. When it’s on the move it’s not well defended. It’s usually also moving under duress and operating under strained morale. If you’re the advancing army, it’s almost always best, if it is at all possible, to pursue and harry the retreating army as aggressively and as rapidly as possible."

Interested in a fellowship in London? Come and join me in my department. The department is EE but research topics can be very wide: happy to host people with any overlapping interests in NeuroAI/SNNs/etc. More info on available fellowships and timelines here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/electrical-engineering/research/fellowships/
sorry to become this huge pessimist out of nowhere but I don't like good things being ruined

Dear press, it's long past time to stop calling this an immigration crackdown. It's a Federal Government directed terror campaign.
