This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

reason #4,667 why i’m never Meta 😤
civil society and right groups orgs that often keep a tab on and organise campaigns against these evil corporations are overstretched and underfunded. this internal memo from Meta is insidious and sickening
Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

FULL SUMMER MODE IN SE SPAIN
Unbelievable Minimums up to 21.4C,
Dozens of records smashed in all Central/Eastern communities.
It's one of the most insane event Europe has ever seen.
And next night might be the 3rd TROPICAL NIGHT IN A ROW
And absolute madness.
It writes history.

how many industries include the disclaimer “can make mistakes” as a part of the usage experience? can you imagine your electrical socket randomly not working or your phone dialing wrong numbers every so often?
& yet we’re just expected to accept AI products no matter their flaws
& yet we’re just expected to accept AI products no matter their flaws
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
