we are doing a thing on our discord where folks having a rough year can fill out a form with their likes/wishes and people in the 3D Printing channel will make them gifts for themselves/kids/loved ones, and other people are insisting on donating filament/shipping money & honestly y'all. 💓😭

I can't stop laughing at the thought that maybe Trump's doctors aren't telling him diddly squat about what they're looking for with these scans vs what they're findinflg, because they all know he'd accidentally word vomit and tell us he has a brain tumor

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

Finding out that it's more than likely that Trump blew Bill Clinton BEFORE we even get the actual Epstein Files is REALLY telling of why this shit caused a 40 day government shutdown standoff to keep it from coming out...

this story is from last year… can’t imagine it’s gotten *less* common.

how fucking abhorrent the generative AI industry is.

This is rape culture.

This is why so many people don’t come forward.

A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.

She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.

Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

They just completely disproved every dipshit that got on here like "they just need more votes".

There are never enough votes when the DNC wants to cave. There will never be enough votes.

Some of the most heartbreaking calls I took at the COVID info hotline were from meatpacking workers who wanted to know how to protect themselves at work from getting sick.
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.
