Dear BBC. Please stop saying that President Maduro has been “captured” - he wasn’t on the run. Tell the truth, as per your charter - he was abducted. Stop using the language of propaganda. #BBCNews

“Cognitive amplifier tools” - despite even the research from AI companies showing the exact opposite.
It’s like “equipping” humans with asbestos direct to the lungs and asking them to be grateful.
They want us cognitively impaired because that makes us easier to exploit and control.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Just like Australian media either refusing to interview @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social or interviewing them and cutting out any of their entirely reasonable comments about not politicising antisemitism and stoking hate towards other groups.
CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

I’d love to see Google get fined for this nonsense.
“Best Price” tag on the top listing but a cheaper price a few entries down.
Big tech can’t get the basics right anymore.
It’s a sad indictment how little they care about the quality of their own work.

There’s no justification for any public institution to remain on the Nazi pedophile platform.
“But we need to be where the people are”
No, you give legitimacy to the Nazi pedophile platform by staying on there.
There’s got to be some basic level of standards.

These clowns are just making up duties and rules and laws. Artists don't have any duty to sing for fascists, and only a fascist would try to force them to.
"Any artist cancelling their show at the Trump Kennedy Center over political differences isn't courageous or principled—they are selfish, intolerant, and have failed to meet the basic duty of a public artist: to perform for all people"- Kennedy Center spokesperson Roma Daravi
Kennedy Center vows to sue musician who canceled performance over Trump name change
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building.

Italian immigrant communities into America in the early 1900s were subjected to the most appalling degrees of racism and bigotry and it led to the USA actively moving to stop migration from Italy in a series of acts including the Emergency Quota Act (1921) and the restrictive Immigration Act (1924)
