Fucking hell. I've been checking for any news to confirm ICE's presence on Bluesky. I must've hit AI mode while walking with my open phone, and here I find just a completely made up story?The sources for this are an unrelated article about ICE and the homepage to Hootsuite.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail:> I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justiceDr King was a radical. https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html

The Three Evils:> Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifices. Capitalism was built on the exploitation of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor, both black and white, both here and abroad.Dr. King was anti-capitalist.

The Other America:> [A] riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.Dr King was an agitator. https://www.gphistorical.org/mlk/mlkspeech/

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was all the things the center-left despises. Yet, centrists love to co-opt dead radicals and transform them into God-like pacifists. I honestly don't know how they circle that square when King's messaging is so well documented. All I know is Dr. King would be ostracized and vilified by Democrats if he were alive today.

Plausible deniability is fading and the media are turning on Biden. For years, they sat firmly with their thumbs up their behinds. Suddenly, it's “we've always wanted to report on genocide but we're just smol beans who report what the US government approves.”The saddest part is that 71,000 figure is almost certainly low. It's mostly indirect tactics that end up killing Palestinians. Anyway, let the rewriting of history begin. #Bluesky #USPol

Shout out to the semi-colon. They'll show up to a sentence and be like—Let's extend this thought but also set some healthy boundaries. Just a dude who's all about the vibes; what a legend.

I've never once been 100% certain that I used a semi-colon correctly. I’ve been 95% sure. I’ve been a coin-toss 50/50 fuck it-sure. But never bet my socks on it-definite.Hello, my name is Jason and i’m a writer. Today I--

Here's the other thing—semi-colons are making a come back, baby! Millennials overused the aloof stylistic choice of no punctuation and all lowercase letters (grow up Sam Altman). This new generation is going to punctuate so hard. They're gonna proper noun the fuck out of everything. We're gonna see carets and tildes & maybe some ampersands, too. Nope. Scratch that. Millennials over used the ampersands with coffee shops and leather hat stores.

Billionaires are worried about the Greta Thunberg type of protesting, which, on the ground, is a modest movement. But it's subversive, it tries to cause crisis. it's a type of protest that topples power structures. Notice how billionaires never seem to worry about branded activism like #NoKings. It's because those types of protests don't apply pressure to those who wield power. It's shows up and it leaves quietly.https://fortune.com/2026/02/04/peter-thiel-antichrist-greta-thunberg-end-of-modernity-billionaires/

Puerto Rico deserves self-determination, independence, debt wiped, reparations, favorable trade laws, infrastructure, education, a thriving economy, land protections, land ownership, and whatever else it takes for how ever long it takes until the stench of colonialism is removed from the island. 🇵🇷

And, after that, a formal apology for colonialism, national resource theft, using the island for bomb testing, the force sterilization project, the Ponce Massacre, the death of Pedro Albizu Campos, basically everything about the 40s and 50s migration, putting the American on the Times cover who admitted killing Puerto Ricans by injecting them with cancers. Putting him on the cover *after* he admitted to all that. What else am I forgetting?

Anthropic AI safety researcher quits with ‘world in peril’ warning:"“The world is in peril. And not just from AI, or bioweapons, but from a whole series of interconnected crises unfolding in this very moment,” Sharma wrote."The last person to pull this “the world is in peril, I’m leaving” resignation stunt was Geoffrey Hinton from Google.

Social media influencers are what you get when everyone thinks they can rise above capitalism instead of working together to fix our problems. Technocracy is taking hold and the people with the biggest microphones are being bribed to look the other way, or, worse, actively help technocrats grab power.

According to Waveform, Meta Ray-Bans doesn't turn on its indicator light when it uses the camera to process AI queries. Asking it a question that would require the use of the camera i.e. "what's the color of this person's shirt?" doesn't trigger the light but answers the question El, oh, fucking el man.

Damn they are going *in* on Meta. Going as far to say the entire reason Meta sells these glasses is for data collection. That may not sound radical around these parts, but to the centrist tech cartel it is. Again, Marques isn't contributing much but he's not shutting it down. I think that matters when it comes to access. MKBHD might not get to review the next unreleased bit of tech from Meta if they keep speaking like this.
