Every word of this. Except Vivian Silver is the easy one. The same should apply to *every single* Israeli civilian.
And Palestinian children are the easy ones. The same should apply to *every single* Palestinian civilian.
If you don't actually feel those losses, please, I'm begging you. Shut. Up.

remember, the anti-woke, anti-trans crowd is loud, but small and incapable of moving any needle anywhere for long...

I had a dream I created an account called Gators with Flowers but I didn’t want to scrape other people’s content so I went to Florida and handed out roses to alligators and took photos. It was a lot of fun

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.

A report came out today from the UN that 20,000 Ukranian children age 0-17 were kidnapped by Russian soldiers (sexual assault never happens, right?) and shipped forcibly to Belarus. Belarus has them hostage. Nary a peep.
