I saw a billboard that was something like “SHI is AI for ATX” and I just really need AI companies to continue to name themselves most of SHIT so we can all avoid them.

Here are some more company name suggestions, free for the taking:

TRAS
GARBAG
DUMPSTE
THIE
JUN
SEWAG

I've seen people make that argument before, and the general line everyone else made was that giving yourself PTSD is going to make you a liability whenever it'd come to radical action.

You're not helping anyone, and it centres your own guilt over effective action to help the communities targeted.
i honestly believe that this idea that you have to subject yourself to every shocking horrifying image as part of "the fight" mostly manifests in people who are doing absolutely nothing to "fight" other than post on social media

because i never see it amongst people who are getting things done
not sure where this idea that you must continually subject yourself to horrible spectacle to stay committed to the fight came from. the more likely outcomes are total mental breakdown, or becoming the kind of person who rolls their eyes and posts a "shocked" meme when something terrible happens.

FDA's decision not to accept Moderna's flu vaccine filing has sent shock waves through pharma.

FDA’s rejection of Moderna threatens to stifle broader vaccine industry
Experts say the FDA "moved the goalposts" on Moderna, creating "a destructive precedent that will undermine the future of vaccine development" in the U.S.

I redirect everyone’s attention to JIM MACKAY, a book-banning, Great Replacement Theory-touting hard right-winger who *has changed his name* to J. GORDON MITCHELL to run as a Democrat in Texas’ 17th Congressional district
I also am baffled that people are assuming this super checkered barely known guy will be super progressive as though we're not living in a post Fetterman universe.
It's nuts that these are the two candidates the respective wings of the Maine Dems have coughed up. I am positive there are, somewhere in the state, a moderate who's not 97 years old and a progressive who doesn't have nazi tattoos.

People aren’t trying to fight fascism, they enjoy the insurmountable inequality and fear they believe has been created, they like the idea they can. Keep one whole generation of cross educated interdisciplinary trained people out long enough that they die

They WANT this to happen
Yeah, the Nazi tattoo is part of the appeal for Platner for a lot of people. His candidacy is supposed to signal the left no longer concerns itself with “woke” issues like public displays of bigotry.
Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.

You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

He has a Nazi tattoo. (That's a bit of an overstatement, but let's run with that.) You've heard him. Do you think he's a Nazi?

This so much.

Not all health information is covered under HIPAA. HIPAA applies to protected health information as processed by *specific* groups (Covered Entities). Technology providers must comply to specific security requirements when they are bound, by contract, as a Business Associate.
So yeah, people goof.

But what's not a goof: Claude is not your therapist. Is not a therapist at all. Is not bound by HIPAA. Please do not tell Claude your business.

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.
