Content warning: internal DSA politics

"Palestine is a canary in the coal mine for an electoral approach that prioritizes popularity and political careerism over anti-imperialism and party-building."
I wish AOC were better and DSA could proudly endorse her, but as it stands, I unfortunately agree with Red Star's critiques and conclusion here.

Still a bridge to nowhere: Imperialism, electoralism, and AOC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), darling DSA Socialist in Office (SIO), has received her fifth consecutive endorsement from NYC-DSA. She is sailing towards what is almost assuredly a safe re-election and will start her fifth term as a representative in Congress in 2027. NYC-DSA’s endorsement has opened the door to yet

"New research […] shows that a modified audio clip undetectable by human ears can manipulate a model’s behavior"
"Real-world examples include hiding malicious instructions in online videos, music clips, or voice notes that users query an AI about, or broadcasting malicious audio on a Zoom call that is then uploaded to AI transcription services."
I expect people will be having fun building 21st century equivalents of the TV-be-gone.

Research shows sounds unheard by human ears can hijack models’ behavior

My wife went swimming in Footscray this morning so I had her drop me off by the pool and then I ran home along the Maribyrnong river and up the Stockyard trail, back through Royal Park to the inner North. Brilliant day for a run and a nice change of scenery. #melbourne #running

It must be galling to him that we no longer have the pre-Reagan pre-cable FCC regs and station norms that empowered the POTUS to monopolize the media in primetime.
I expect that many non-olds don’t even realize that was a thing. Once upon a time all TV was broadcast and most was network-affiliated or network-owned, and those all took the feed from the White House when it was offered. There was no escape... @…

Brutal response from FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez to Trump's call for ABC and NBC to be stripped of licenses "It is ridiculous to call for broadcasters to lose their license simply for making the same editorial decisions they've made under presidents of both parties. Those editorial decisions are protected by the First Amendment, and the FCC has no authority to punish a station for refusing to air a blatantly political speech. This is a naked attempt to bully broadcasters, and the FCC should ha…

Israel's Crimes Against Humanity in the Americas
There might never even have been an Israel without arms shipments from the Somoza dictatorship in Nicaragua to the Zionist paramilitary Haganah in 1939 during the British Mandate over Palestine. Nine years after that helping hand was extended, the Haganah, with assistance from the Irgun and Lehi, erased Palestine from the map, building the state of Israel literally on top of where Palestine had been while recruiting Nazis from Europe to help the fledgling Jewish state build up enough weapons.

These quick vote AGM options, by which Boards encourage members to not read the materials and follow their lead, they should be banned.
"About 95% of votes were cast in support of Nationwide’s pay report, which was recommended by the board, after the building society nearly doubled the pay of Debbie Crosbie, the chief executive, to £4.7m."
