AI therapy is a surveillance machine in a police state
President Donald Trump’s obsession with AI and policing speech makes sharing secrets with chatbots like ChatGPT, Grok, and Meta AI look awfully risky.Adi Robertson (The Verge)

Je sors de l'exposition "Gaza" à L'IMA. Je n'ai pas compris, j'ai pas tenu. J'ai mis un mot sur le cahier de l'exposition et je suis partie.
Vous l'avez vue vous, l'exposition ? Ça vous a fait ça aussi ? (Vrai question)

Heather Cox Richardson writes today about how Trump and MAGA are working feverishly to turn Comey's snapshot of some rocks on the beach into a sinister plot — working feverishly to distract us from Trump's glarding failure in so many ways. She says,
"In his newsletter today, retired entrepreneur Bill Southworth tallied the times Trump has grabbed headlines to distract people from larger stories…"

Drivers at three busy intersections in Kingston, Ont., had no way of knowing they were being watched earlier this month, but high above them police hovered, zooming in to catch those using their phones while behind the wheel.

La doppia morale dell’Occidente: volenterosi per l’Ucraina, vili su Gaza
L’esempio più clamoroso è quello dei “volenterosi”, la coalizione guidata dal presidente francese Macron e dal premier inglese Starmer di cui fanno parte tra gli altri la presidente Ue Von der Leyen e il segretario Nato Rutte.Claudio Visani (Globalist.it)

#DOGE has turned its attention to small, #independent entities
NPR has identified close to 40 entities — inside, adjacent to & OUTSIDE of the #government — where DOGE & the #Trump admin have turned their attention in recent weeks.
It's the latest example of how DOGE is attempting to expand its reach beyond high-profile Cabinet agencies, & in some cases far beyond the #ExecutiveBranch & the #FederalGovernment entirely.

"and interviews with employees who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly and fear retaliation from the Trump administration."
I don't get it, how else will they retaliate but cutting their jobs, which they are slated to do anyway.
All they need to do is dox them. The gaggle of thugs will take it from there.
They have families to consider.

Physically, I’m nearly his age, and I remember Man-Tan coming out when I was a teenager.
Old 60s civil-rights song:
“Well, there’s just one thing, / I don’t understan’: / Why the Southern Whites / Use Man-Tan.”
But the thing about Man-Tan is that’s not traditional make-up. It’s a chemical lotion that turns skin dark. And if you abuse it, it turns skin orange. It appears that, after about 60 years, the Syphilitic Orangutan hasn’t yet worked that out.
The Disney-ABC-Time-Warner-Microsoft machine -- exists only because we turn it on. If enough of us turn it off, it is gone. Think of it: It is in your power to plunge Bill Gates into poverty, to send Peter Jennings off to 'Good Morning, Saskatchewan,' to rid the world of Disney-licensed products, to see Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer reduced to talking only to each other. Disconnect now!

Hello Fedi friends!
I'm preparing a presentation for a conference. The title: "The Rebellion will be self-hosted: Resisting the Digital Coup with #YunoHost"
I'm trying to describe how @yunohost has had a positive impact on my life. It's so hard to do so in 10 minutes or less 😅
A routine reminder that #YunoHost has a fundraising drive for the year so if you self-host through them and can afford to donate, any euro / dollar / yen counts: yunohost.org/donate.en.html Their volunteers are amazing ❤️
YunoHost: garden your own piece of the Internet!
YunoHost is a system that installs itself on a server and allows you to install and maintain - with very little technical knowledge - digital services (apps) that you control.yunohost.org

I'm using yunohost within political collectives to bootstrap independent organizational infrastructure (mostly nocodb+n8n for custom systems, mattermost for chat, plus nextcloud for file sharing).
If you ever want to produce content, either educational or agitprop, about similar stacks, feel free to reach out. I have an endless backlog of stuff I have no capacity to self-produce.
"Former White House lawyers, diplomatic protocol officers and foreign affairs experts have told the Guardian that Donald Trump’s receipt of overseas gifts and targeted investments are 'unprecedented', as the White House remakes US foreign policy under a pay-for-access code that eclipses past administrations with characteristic Trumpian excess."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Well, they are obsessed by conspiratorial narratives. But on the merits, through my life "86" didn't mean anything but "jettison."
"86 the mayo in that sandwich."
I can't recall a single instance off hand where it had anything to do with violence. Has it mutated with the 20-somethings? Dunno. But Comey is not a 20-something.
This is just another example of abrogating the 1st amendment and making Americans afraid.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"Southworth calls this 'narrative warfare,' and while it is true that Republican leaders have seeded a particular false narrative for decades now, this technique is also known as 'political technology' or 'virtual politics.' This system, pioneered in Russia under Russian president Vladimir Putin, is designed to get people to vote an authoritarian into office by creating a fake world of outrage."
