28 août 1963 : Lors de la « Marche sur Washington pour l'emploi et la liberté », le leader du mouvement d'émancipation des noirs américains Martin Luther King prononce son célèbre discours « I have a dream » devant le Lincoln Memorial. #CeJourLà#OnThisDay

Photo de Martin Luther King en train de parler à un podium lors de la marche sur Washington. Plusieurs microphones sont positionnés devant lui. Il y a des visages flous de personnes au premier plan, indiquant une foule ou un public. L’arrière-plan semble être un tissu drapé ou un rideau, il est de couleur claire et uni.

Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 Episode 61 “Winning the Race to Hell”

https://www.buzzsprout.com/2126417/episodes/17713221-winning-the-race-to-hell-with-sarah-myers-west-and-kate-brennan-2025-08-04

in which AI Now Institute’s Kate Brennan and Sarah Myers West join me and @alex to wade through the muck that is Trump’s AI Action Plan

Audiogram with Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 logo, title “Winning the Race to Hell” and subhead “Spoiler alert: Trump’s “AI Action Plan” is a gift to business interests” Subtitles: KATE BRENNAN: We are seeing, first of all, “unleashing innovation” is just how many ways can we talk about how burdensome and hindering regulation is. So, like, immediately, the top line message that we’re getting from this statement is that in order to succeed, in order to win the race, in order to be the best, in order to innovate, we need to take down any sort of regulatory barriers that are hindering us. And then, not only that, we have to use that as justification to pursue this energy dominance, “Build, baby, build,” “Drill, baby, drill” energy agenda. Where linking those two has been, I think, a strategy of the administration since day one. And seeing them, I think, one right after the other makes it so clear that AI is being used rhetorically, strategically, politically, economically, as a wedge to ensure that Big Oil is getting what they want from this just as much as Big Tech is.

This country’s top scientists & doctors are quitting in droves, signing public letters of no confidence, & were attacked by a conspiracy theorist. It is so dangerous for national security to have our federal health agencies who are tasked with protecting Americans in this state. RFK Jr must resign.

When reached this morning, a spokesperson for TransUnion refused to answer basic questions about the company's data breach, such as who hosted the third-party application that was breached, how the data was breached (if known), and what types of customers' personal data was stolen.

Hello, I just moved servers! Here is my little #Introduction. I am Janine, but I go by ObsidianUrbex.

I love exploring A bandoned Places, capturing their unusual beauty both digitally and with #filmphotography

My passion was sparked by a sunset exploration of an abandoned theme park in 2015. I share articles and photos from my adventures on my #website posts (375 so far) and social media.

Looking forward to meeting loads of new #fediverse humans 💙

Today in Labor History August 28, 1921: The Soviet Red Army dissolved the stateless Anarchist Free Territory, after driving the Black Army out of Ukraine. The anarchist rebel leader, Nester Makhno, barely escaped, and with serious injuries. The Free Territory within Ukraine, also known as Makhnovia (after Nestor Makhno), lasted from 1918 to 1921. It was a stateless, anarchist society that was defended by Makhno’s Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army (AKA the Black Army). Roughly 7 million people lived in the area. The peasants who lived there refused to pay rent to the landowners and seized the estates and livestock of the church, state and private landowners, setting up local committees to manage them and share them among the various villages and communes of the Free State.

Still painting dark forests~

A photo of an open sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by branches, hag stones, palo santo, and leaves for decoration. The left side of the sketchbook spread shows two gouache paintings, the top (and larger) one featuring a misty conifer forest with mossy ground and bright white back lighting. The bottom one shows pale blue light filtering through a dark conifer forest. The right side also features two gouache paintings; the top one of a very misty, monochrome conifer forest, and the bottom one of a dark conifer forest with mossy ground and pale sunlight coming in from the left.

@pvonhellermannn people often make the mistake of thinking centrism is about being moderate, but under neo-liberalism centrism is a political doctrine in and of itself, it prescribes that a party shall have no ideological basis and merely respond to voter demands as a business responds to customer demands. If you're looking for something progressive, look elsewhere

AI can increase cognitive load.

"Lisanne Bainbridge’s seminal Ironies of Automation published in 1983 observed that when users must evaluate uncertain outputs from automated systems, mental effort often goes up. This ‘automation bias paradox’ means that while automation can reduce physical effort, it may increase mental effort especially when trust in its accuracy is shaky."
