“Cleaning up the risk pool” means letting sick people and old people and disabled people die. End of. There is no other meaning here.
Politician’s homes are 💯 % fair game for protests.
Now Sheridan does defend himself, but the fact that he had to is very notable. I think you can trace a line from this kind of toughen-up attitude to Gen X folks being insufferably cruel and calling people "snowflakes" and shit.
Babylon 5 has a very 90s approach to personal boundaries. Sheridan is making inoffensive small talk about work and his sister immediately goes, "You're just doing that because your wife is dead. It's been two years, get over it!"
Why has, while letting Claude do 99% of his job, become entirely unable to deal with normal human interactions.
It's flensed his skin to the thickness of any billionaire freak's, completely unable to handle stuff like "this person is disagreeing with me" or "they aren't praising me"
A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them.
Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.
Jack completely underestimated the overlap between "people who make the internet run" and "tranny furries".
imagine sitting on a potential challenger to the current bloc of social media platforms people are on but dislike for various reasons and going "no, no I must burn through my userbase's goodwill as fast as possible because I'm too bitter that funny trans women are more popular than AI dweebs"
hello to everyone else included in the "anti-ai ai haters" blocklist the technical advisor of bluesky just followed 🫡 it's an honor just to be nominated
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Oh so you want to defund the police? I cannot believe the gall. These brave and women put their lives on the line for you every single day. Well not you specifically, or that democrat lady, or those schoolchildren.
Oil companies are set for $90B in windfall profits while the bottom 40% of Canadians hold just 3% of wealth.
I asked the Liberals for a "Yes or No" on a windfall tax & gas price caps to stop the gouging. They gave me a non-answer about "tools."
Canadians need relief, not "reviews." #cdnpoli
"Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet" is a Chinese folk saying to describe the behaviour of certain fools. The reactionaries in all countries are fools of this kind. In the final analysis, their persecution of the revolutionary people only serves to accelerate the people's revolutions
The European Court of Justice has ruled that Hungary's Orban-era "anti-LGBTQ propaganda" law breaks EU law and violates the fundamental rights of EU citizens.
This clear ruling should help the incoming Tisza party government of Peter Magyar repeal the laws.

🚨 BREAKING: 25+ of Canada's leading rights orgs, privacy scholars, and legal experts just delivered a joint letter to Parliament.
The ask? Kill #BillC22.
The reason? It would be "the most expansive invasion of Canadian privacy rights in modern history." 🧵

The EU had yet another opportunity to redeem itself of its moral bankruptcy on Israel. And once again it has failed to do so, with Germany and Italy predictably blocking the suspension of the EU-Israel agreement. Shame 🇮🇹 🇩🇪

If British Columbia can make Eby back down on UNDRIP, and Ontarians can make Ford back down on the jet, and Nova Scotia can make Houston back down on the budget, then Albertans can make Smith back down on gerrymandering. Organize, friends.

Which also rises to occasional brilliance.
Babylon 5 is a nasal fan chat about its era of SF that rises to occasional brilliance mixed with a Yiddish comedy about a Russian aristocratic exile and his excitable Bolshevik neighbor.
Japan on Tuesday scrapped a ban on lethal weapons exports, a major change in its postwar pacifist policy as the country seeks to build up its arms industry amid worries over Chinese and North Korean aggression. https://to.pbs.org/41MNWrm
Alex sits across from a woman at a table who reads from pamphlet "OK, so the rules of this game are: 1. players move around the baord in a counter-clockwise fashion..." Alex thinks to herself "this board game woman is tedious, but her dating profile indicates she's a real freak in bed." Her expression remains placid as the speech bubble containing the endless rules recited by the board game woman collapse Alex's face. Later in the boudoir, Alex is in fetish gear with the board game woman who says "alright, let's do this." She then picks up a pamphlet and reads "the rules of this are: 1 players move around the board in a counter-clockwise..."

I mean we ignored that Harper was a member of a pro-Apartheid white supremacist organization and was a liaison between the Reform Party and Nazis in the 90s so I doubt this will stick.
Why hasn’t the @ndp.ca & @avilewis.ca demanded a Canadian investigation?
If we talk about state linked individuals sex trafficking minors then as I mentioned before we'll have to have a chat about how CSIS helped sell children to ISIS as sex slaves and we all blamed the victims.

Both Iran and the USA want to end the war but the sticky issue is not Hormuz per se. it’s how to get Iran to agree to terms it finds acceptable, given its upper hand, without Trump losing face.
