Hank Green (YouTube Science Communicator) on ICE in Minneapolis and the Trump Administration.

The Dude is Angry AF.

Last night, he posted this video, titled, simply, “Truth.” The video is ~5 minutes long, and is 100% intense eye contact, which I know a lot of my followers & mutuals have trouble with, so I’m putting the full transcript of the auto-generated captions under the cut.

But I do want to pull out a couple of excerpts, and put them above the line:

And this is the thing I can’t shake. In science, when someone shows you data that contradicts your claim, you have a few options. You can update your belief. You can argue about interpretation. You can point out limitations. You can even say, “I was wrong.” What you cannot do, at least for very long, is pretend that the data don’t exist. Reality doesn’t cooperate with that strategy.

And also:

They’d stick to the truth if they thought the truth was enough.

Full captions transcript below (spelling corrections and punctuation clarified):

Keep reading

For anyone who would prefer to watch the video instead of reading the captions:

hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok

It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the “boo AI” club.

This isn’t a purity thing. This is a “everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people” thing.

Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can’t defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.

You can stop using character.ai today. You can say “I listened to the facts and stopped.” And another thing: don’t you think it’s a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you’re in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?

also posts in the spirit of “if you’ve used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!” can’t be great to those with OCD

ICE fucking abandoned the scene in a Minneapolis neighborhood and left their battle plans and designs on the city, fake license plates, and challenge tokens which they reward themselves for arrests. Looney Tunes shit.

North Minneapolis Chases Out ICE

After ICE carried out yet another shooting in Minneapolis, a crowd chased them away and gained control of their vehicles. A firsthand accoun

CrimethInc.

The fact they give out challenge coins for arrests really cements the fact that they’re just a bunch of shit heads trying to feel very tough and powerful™ and this is the only way they can do it.

Did you know that you can cheer up this MN-based author by downloading these queer, super character-focused, near-future, midwest-based, scifi/superhero books? For FREE?

Secondhand Origin Stories

An outsider with superheroic ambitions

A near-invincible teen with infamous powers

A prodigy with treasonous technology

A frail girl with a family legacy

A supervillian with mysterious motives

And a family fractured by secrets

Names in Their Blood

Long awaited reunions and the need for the US’s only full hospital for genetically altered people bring the Sentinels- and their family- to rural Minnesota. But when they realize that not only have altereds been going missing from the area, but the federal bureau that should have sent that mission to them has kept it quiet, they need to figure out who they can trust- and fast- or thousands could die.
