Anti Jewish violence is real and horrific. Being a victim of this violence is not the quotidian experience of most Jewish people right now. Encouraging Jewish people to live in terror when they are not actually in danger is deeply manipulative and is used to manufacture consent for genocide

If you want to support your favourite author, but don't have the money to buy their books, most libraries have a Recommend a Purchase" link somewhere on their website. Or a "Notify me if the library purchases this title" option in their catalogue, which tells staff that there is interest.

The media is desperate to find some reason why Elon Musk's politics are complicated or more sophisticated than they seem, because the simple truth is too ugly for them to admit - an actual Nazi is the world's wealthiest person, and his companies hold substantial American government contracts.

I was born and raised in Northern Ontario and I am absolutely boiling with rage at the ways in which people elsewhere are talking about the forest fires there as though this is a common occurrence.
The air thick with smoke for kilometers, entire communities wiped out - this shit is not normal.

Remember that a lot of medications, including antidepressants, make you far more susceptible to heat stroke. You don't need to compare yourself to other people if you're feeling bad. Everyone's chemistry is different. The main comparison should be to YOUR normal.
It's time to be mindful of the warm weather.
Remember to hydrate (water)
Try and avoid activity during the hottest part of the day that will make you hotter.

Another round-up of social justice minded Canadian jobs!
Usual caveat applies which is that I don't work for these organizations. These just came across my desk as someone who works contract to contract and I want to amplify because I know jobs in progressive spaces are hard to find!

Give me your favourite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor.
There are so many great answers in the thread but mine, hands down, is Jeri Ryan's occasional guest villain appearances on Major Crimes. (Second pick would be her Leverage guest appearances.)

Accidentally found myself reading French wikipedia and only realized it halfway through the second sentence. I am too too tired but also I've retained more French than I'd realized, huh

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that
1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine
2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me
3. The environmental costs are astronomical
Spread the word, every time!

I often forget about AI when I'm dealing with supposed experts at work... but then I ask someone for a link to the confusing information they sent me, so I can dig deeper or share it with someone else, and ofc it's AI. sigh.

White people have literally been 'recording' the suffering of people Black and Brown people for centuries.
It has not resulted in any relief for those communities while white people give each other awards and accolades for capturing the most traumatizing moments of people's lives.

I personally think not safe to remain in any personal relationship with anyone who is using LLMs to analyze your relationship, make conclusions about your motives, or determine how to treat you. I think this is beyond red flag—it should be an immediate dealbreaker.
A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.)
This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

![For months, her then-fiancé and partner of several years had been fixating on her and their relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In mid-2024, she explained, they’d hit a rough patch as a couple; in response, he turned to ChatGPT, which he’d previously used for general business-related tasks, for “therapy.”
Before she knew it, she recalled, he was spending hours each day talking with the bot, funneling everything she said or did into the model and propounding on pseudo-psychiatric theories about her mental health and behavior. He started to bombard the woman with screenshots of his ChatGPT interactions and copy-pasted AI-generated text, in which the chatbot can be seen armchair-diagnosing her with personality disorders and insisting that she was concealing her real feelings and behavior through coded language. The bot often laced its so-called analyses with flowery spiritual jargon, accusing the woman of engaging in manipulative “rituals.”
Trying to communicate with her fiancé was like walking on “ChatGPT eggshells,” the woman recalled. No matter what she tried, ChatGPT would “twist it.”
“He would send [screenshots] to me from ChatGPT, and be like, ‘Why does it say this? Why would it say this about you, if this is not true?'” she recounted. “And it was just awful, awful things.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fhnih5ovyd5w5pch254ordo2/bafkreidy34if6qaoxglmgyuqzd45qrtblapduetgu6y3m4vwuto6etcmem)

At some point the conversation we had about how much of tech was stalkerware has to intersect with how AI usage has validated stalkers. And I know that sounds circular but this is the ouroboros of much of modern surveillance tech. It can be used against anyone but it is often rooted in misogyny

I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
