The head of the ADL responding favorably to Elon Musk banning the terms “decolonization” and “from the river to the sea”

now that i have seen OPPENHEIMER i am truly baffled by the discourse that this movie was somehow a whitewash of the guy
Joking aside, that this shit is computationally expensive and only exists because of venture funding is absolutely key to remember. Just because cost is invisible to us doesn’t mean it’s not there. The net is very good at distancing us from this.
