Some people really still don't understand that the Democratic party has been the controlled opposition for decades now. I don't know how they can't see it, but somehow they've absolutely swallowed the propaganda without asking whose hand is feeding them.
Amazing.

This is the problem with Assisted Dying policies that are implemented without sufficient policies to ensure a right to care or a dignified life.
A Canadian man waited a year for treatment for end of life care only to get denied.
His MAiD approval happened in two weeks.
That’s eugenics.

A man waits nearly a year for regulated psilocybin therapy to ease end-of-life distress and is denied.
He applies for MAiD and is approved in 3 weeks.
Bureaucracy moves fast when it wants to.

Sadly, the push for anti-mask laws is back. The Alabama House has passed a bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor’s note.

Anti-masking laws have never been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court and have had mixed results in lower courts.

Copyright law often sucks. But generative "AI" ALWAYS sucks. I hope this sets precedent and pops this LLM bubble so we can stop with the whole nonsense trend.
A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors.
The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

Alright, here's what Saige did to me.
If you're a PoC you are not safe around her.
The last THREE YEARS have been heartbreaking and soul-crushing, and I'm SO glad to finally be able to speak out publicly.
I'm still at SDCC, so I may add more later: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rcfsd...

Remote work accommodations are something disabled people have needed for decades
Covid showed us it’s possible, but ableism & discrimination took it away

Pregnancy is considered a disability.
Adriana Smith was a black, disabled woman in need of medical care.
The hospital dismissed her & she died.
Because she was 9 weeks pregnant, they’re keeping her body alive against the family’s wishes.

Clean the air, clean the air, clean the air.
We know how to do it. We know it would drastically reduce COVID and other airborne disease spread.
It would also help with asthma, allergies, wildfire & more.
It’s all upside, and it’s high time we demand it from our governments & leaders.
