celtics game just showed a dog jumping rope and then eventually, casually zoomed out to reveal a different dog was turning the rope???? perfect reveal, five stars

The SPLC actually gets criticized within the movement for cooperating too much with law enforcement.

If you think it's shocking that the SPLC pays degenerate racist criminals for information, let me tell you about the FBI...

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges related to past use of paid informants The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges related to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.

omg this is so dumb. my mother was a super donor to the splc for years specifically to fund these kinds of activities. she was mad that Hatewatch lost its teeth in the past several years! she was not deceived and this is just WILD ugly stuff. wow.

yes, this is totally something we should get our students so dependent on they cannot function without it

It is weird how so many things keep getting worse and everyone is expected to keep sending emails and maintain "normal" levels of productivity.

“Florida is sending criminal subpoenas to OpenAI, opening a novel investigation into whether a chatbot could be criminally liable for use in a mass shooting.”

Watch how swiftly fake quotes get attributed to “S. Drimmer” now.

Thing is, this is exactly what ChatGPT was designed to do. Namely, jackhammer the grounds of truth beneath our feet. Whether the product is “good” or not is irrelevant. Its purpose is to remove people from acts of discernment.

“and you'd be taking the feminist/radical gender abolitionist position to protest any of the above points.”

You’re goddamn fucking right I am, those points are fucking stupid

It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

We had a mass longevity movement in the 20th century. It was called public health. It included vaccines, antibiotics, nutritional programmes, maternal support, cancer research.

The problem is that the people at the top of this ecosystem are GIANT ASSHOLES, it would be good to see you recognize this

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

It's evil to train people to fall for scams, even if you happen to not be scamming anyone.

Scams work by using urgency (act now before it's too late!). This overrides your skepticism with regards to how the money will actually help someone.

I am of course referring to Democratic fundraising texts.

We used to have to get written permission if someone was going to appear in the background of something filmed. How are tech bros allowed to just consume every photo you've ever taken, analyse and name the people in it and use it for their own money making?
