I've said it before, but until men are as disgusted and pissed off about misogyny as women are, patriarchy will continue marching along, just like racism will continue shapeshifting so long as white people aren't offended. And men SHOULD be offended by misogyny because it demeans your ass, too!
A small cohort of ("prominent"?) law professors are trying to portray John Eastman as some kind of innocent victim of viewpoint discrimination, and his disbarment as some kind of assault on the First Amendment.
That's complete and utter bollocks. As usual, @gabrielmalor.bsky.social brings receipts:
The federal government has been putting bullets in people on the street, citizens as well as immigrants, and the majority of those people ain't even started shit.
I don't disagree with you and it makes me want to die on the regular but I just want you to sit with the conditions on the ground for a minute and try to imagine yourself there. Gerrymandered and fucked out of your vote, fully dependent on employment for healthcare as well as rent.
we went into this with fully militarized police ready to put down even peaceful protest. And the minority voting for this shit is the set of people who've been stockpiling guns since before I was alive, so as soon as it turns to violence in the streets it becomes a right-wing coup.
Like the question has been for a while "useful idiot or knowing agent or 2 decayed by time and amphetamines into 1" and welp that's still the question but the answer gets more academic the longer it runs
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

No but this is entirely correct
A self-described "little farm girl" in the Jim Crow Era, Gladys West's complex and pioneering work for the U.S. Navy helped to improve billions of lives — and keep us from getting lost. n.pr/3YVSGJK
I’m coming to the realization Marc Randazza was always like this, just more under cover, and I was just too fucking stupid to see it. What a loathsome douchebag.
They really are dropping any pretense that ICE is about immigration.
Once you're saying ICE has absolute power over not only undocumented people but anyone they engage, you're openly admitting these are meant to be shock troops for the mad king
Walking with Dinosaurs With Big Naturals
I'm a materialist so this is hard to say, but the people running our police state are literal actual demons gorged on human misery and armed with all the powers of hell
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
Ok Google I am already mad at your AI nonsense and privacy failures but for fuck's sake why would you remove the ability to filter call history by ingoing/outgoing?!
Feature phones had this sorted, this is basic functionality.
a thought about trump v. slaughter. it is largely unspoken, but the assertion that there is an unlimited presidential removal power and that independent agencies functionally cannot exist is an assertion of presidential sovereignty.
yes, it’s really that bad.
Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
When a head of state declares that he doesn't want a specific racialized group in the country, and his newly expanded paramilitary force prepares to target that group...
There are terms for that.
So no one but Amazon (and/or Aniplex? who didn't provide a comment) signed off on this?
Maggie hate-watched the whole thing, and like honest to god the things she would tell me about it.
"So Lorelai spends the whole funeral badgering the bereaved to cancel an already settled real estate deal and instead give the deceased's property to her, and the show applauds her"
Q: Will you assure House Democrats they'll get a vote on ACA subsidies by a date certain?
MIKE JOHNSON: Ah -- no. I'm not promising anyone anything.
Former vice president Dick Cheney has died, at 84, with the blood of millions on his hands. His legacy will far outlive him as the man responsible for wars that have killed and displaced millions abroad; and who worked diligently to lay the groundwork for fascist authoritarianism in the U.S.
This is getting so bloody frustrating
The intimidation is routine
this seems to corroborate my fear that even “AI-literate” people assume that LLMs are reasoning engines that isolate premises and carry out logical (truth-preserving) inferences on them. here as elsewhere, LLMs actually produce plausible-looking slop. i'll give an example. +
Man I sure do miss back when the blood-dimmed tides were kept, like I think I genuinely just prefer my falcon to have a narrow gyre all things considered.
