They should lose their grants for this.

But then, I think we should freeze all AI research money. Hold it in escrow with high fees until it's gone.

@inthehands If I ran a hotel chain, I would require anyone armed to store their weapons in the hotel safe for the duration of their stay. Including law enforcement, but especially non uniformed law enforcement.

We must remove money from politics. All of it. All the dark money, all the small and large dollar donations, all the gifts, grifts and the entirety of non-public monies that enrich media corporations, think tanks, and retail politics. That includes an end to lobbying and PACs. To paid political advertising.

An end to the influence of money, should be our cry.

Pro-billionaire. Pro-monopoly. Pro-impunity. Pro-collaborationist.

@coopey

At this point, no internet based service should be used as a primary storage method, of anything. What's more, the only things you put online should be things you don't mind being stolen, used for AI or other meme-tech, and being unable to ever monetize.

Finished Homage to Catalonia, by Orwell, this morning. Tomorrow morning I'll be finishing Doppelganger, by Naomi Klein. Just have the epilogue yet to read. Great books, five stars. Taught me a lot. Serious books, full of introspection and reflection. Relevant books.

Tomorrow I'm shifting gears, beginning Silicon Snake Oil by Clifford Stoll, and Always Look on the Bright Side of Life by Eric Idle.

@blaise @briankrebs

Yeah they love impunity. Power without constraint. Same reasons people joined the Nazis.

@briankrebs Every cop should refuse to serve this felon.

A utopia is made. Just as a dystopia is made. Once you get to the point where everything is made and there isn't viable nature on a civilizational scale, you better start making the right 'topia.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, I'm bear enough, and darn it, people like the Wokka Wokka.

CBS Agrees To Cancel Journalistic Integrity And Popularity And Quietly Become Newspeak For Fascist Administration

@Mrfunkedude No mosquitos? No bats and many species of birds, then. How about a personal anti mosquito force field instead?

@MNNHNewsEnglish

"Research."

@MNNHNewsEnglish

Show me this "research." Your "click here" link doesn't work.

You're not "making" money, you're "making" the rich richer.

We need a nationwide noncooperation movement to deprive corporate supporters and fascists of resources and force them into bankruptcy if they don't exert maximum pressure to remove the junta.

We need local coalitions to step up and force local politicians and authorities to take sides, and punish them if they take the wrong ones.

We need parallel local coalitions to ensure support for the vulnerable, food, lodging, safety, into an unforeseeable future.

We need lawyers to take their oaths and ethics seriously and put pro bono first, judges to rule summarily against fascist incursions on human rights, and police departments to put citizen protestors ahead of social order. We need all of these to rethink their alliance to wealth, property and power as a social good.

@reiver @pluralistic

I too agree. I do hope/wish for the ability to import my posts from one instance to another one of these days. Until that point, we aren't completely there, IMHO.

@hellomiakoda

Learn shit, build some really amazing, foundational tools, get rich, get old and fucking die.

Don't skip those two bits in the middle!

@georgetakei

She needs a big ass banana peel as a nemesis.

@GottaLaff

You know if he's allowed to do this, it's a small step from cleansing and relocating any town in America, any ethnic group, any group of never-Trumpers...
