OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.

THIS. 53 people died, in a country that has been enduring a shattering proxy war for years, where not a single powerful actor has any regard for the actual lives of the Yemeni people.
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment.
It’s simply part of being human. If you live long enough, you will likely experience some kind of disability. It’s one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.
Stop treating us as less than & help us combat ableism!

It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check.

You use the officials USGovt secure channels to hide communications from bad actors. You use Signal to hide communications from the USGovt.
As I explain here, security isn't even the biggest part of the Signal Scandal. This is to keep actions secret from the US government. It's how to do crimes, bribes and more. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...

If these reports are true, the Administration may have violated the Espionage Act and federal records laws. At the very least, they’ve made a mockery of operational security protocols.
