I disagree. If you only realised things have gone too far now a nice white man has been killed then you're actually a bit of a prick.
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

There is not a single word in this post that is incorrect, but it reads like something from a book about the USSR under Stalin.
"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

Every time I think 'This will be the one that turns the tide' but ICE has just wrestled a man to the floor and shot him multiple times in the head for filming them, and I don't think anything is going to change.

That is one hundred, THOUSAND % an IV site bruise. The position and the white spot in the middle are unmistakable.
He's getting something infused at least weekly. I'd be surprised given the regular head CTs he's talked about if it's not dementia meds, which would explain the excess bruising too.

The White House just released a statement on Trump’s extremely discolored hand:
“At the Board of Peace event today in Davos, President Trump hit his hand in the corner of the signing table, causing it to bruise.”

Good year for horror at the Academy Awards this year with three different films nominated in some of the top spots. Have people finally realised that horror films are actually good?

I can't bloody wait for next year when Trump finds out that despite creating a band of despots and calling it the 'Board of Peace' he still doesn't win the Nobel.
Of course I'd much rather the other reason why he couldn't win a Nobel Prize. They're not awarded posthumously.

So Trump got Greenland and Iceland mixed up about five times in his speech, something the GOP would have tried to get Biden committed to a hospice over, but the WH response was 'No he didnt'.

Surely this is going to be on the shortlist for the Photojournalism Pulitzer? If so I hope it's given to both the subject and the snapper.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I don't know where this guy goes, but I'm quite sure that if my garage heard me asking AI what bits of my car was I'd walk out of there with ten litres of tartan paint and a replaced long weight.
Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"
