So many resources!!!
Here’s a full list of recent articles from respectable sources explaining how wonderful AI has been for companies, culture, the environment, human psychology, government, and cognitive development as well as how it has improved online discourse and everyone loves it:

This thread is such an eye-opener, but this post really sums it up.
And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

Absolutely true. His supporters are clueless on how deranged the man truly is because no one is talking about it. Especially frustrating how every missed word from Biden was ZOMGHEISMENTALLYILL.
The president is mentally unwell and just says things. He is going to arrest Biden for perjury! He is going to invade Nigeria! He is going to abolish income tax!

The press just ignores this because it isn't serious. But it robs the public of a chance to see how broken everything is.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.

The amount of raw egg consumed in Portugal would drive some people nuts. Heck, my brother used to love Gemadas, which are essentially raw yolks beaten with sugar.
After several years of making French Silk Pie for events hosted by my partner's family, he realized (in horror) that my no-bake pie had eggs in it. I explained that my mom taught me to buy the more expensive organic eggs for anything that called for eating raw eggs so it should be fine. (1/2)
Every Thanksgiving I make my mom's French Silk Pie. She got the recipe from her 1st husband (I believe it was originally a family recipe he published in a local newspaper). I vaguely remember an older index card barely held together by tape which was at some point replaced with this one. 1/4

This is gold upon gold, though the rum in the casserole story may be my fave. 😂😂😂
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

Oh, he predicted the recent rise of socialism?

After Occupy Wall Street, Bernie Sanders' 2016 strength, the election of AOC and the Squad in 2018, etc? How could he possibly have seen that coming?

We'd all better listen to this seer's other views which I'm sure aren't creepy and insane.
Bari Weiss’s The Free Press (now part of corporate media) is pushing this Ad on Musk’s X. It portrays Peter Thiel as some sort of savant.

This is the same guy, you know, who has been giving lectures about the AntiChrist.

The “Free” Press is more like The Billionaire Press.

He’s probably also too old and tired for them, and no longer needs the ticket sale money.
A big sign that things are amiss with him is Trump isn't trying to soothe his ego with rallies this time. But I guess post Charlie Kirk the risk/reward isn't there for him anymore.

Said lady brought me today a box of Nestum Mel. 😁❤️😁❤️😁❤️😁

My precious. 😁😁😁

(Her husband was actually in Portugal last Sunday and she texted him about me missing it and so he stopped by the store and got me some. And this is why I love people. ❤️❤️❤️)
Had a get-together this afternoon with some like-minded friends. It was wonderful getting to catch up a little, but also had the opportunity to meet new people, including one lady whose husband is Portuguese. 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

We truly are everywhere. 😂😂😂

I think the level of sexual abuse that is going to be coming out of ICE would put the Boston archdiocese and Penn State to shame
Sounds like he thought he had a get out of jail free card on the underage sex charge since he was ICE www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Sadly, she's every Trump voter: Someone who, wittingly or unwittingly, voted for their own abuser.
Epstein survivor Jena-Lisa Jones: "Trump really ran his campaign on this. This is why I voted for him. The release of these files has been so important for me for so long that when he run on that, I really had some hope that someone would do something about it."

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

We knew the current president had allowed the racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc, to show their true colors. It’s apparently also allowing all the pedos to do the same.

Funny how they were so willing to criticize Obama’s tan suit, and his wife’s sleeveless dress.
GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

Does anyone know of a lawyer that can help regarding academic dismissals (graduate school) and not following ADA accommodations? My friend’s husband is now thousands of $s in loan debt with no realistic way of finishing his degree, and has exhausted appeal options. School is in TX, he’s in GA.

Wtf???!?!!!???
Got a case now where they refused to give a pretrial detainee his insulin until he fell into diabetic ketoacidosis and died.
Every few months some agitated weirdo gets upset at me over the Atlantic post I did about how the prison system ROUTINELY engages in unimaginable abuse and lets people kill themselves, because they read it as “THERE’S NO WAY EPSTEIN WAS MURDERED”

Great thread and it's worth noting that a common accusation aimed at POC, natives, and other marginalized groups is that they are sexually depraved. The "depravity" in this case isn't the act of assault itself, it's sexual assault being wielded by the "wrong" people, people who shouldn't have power
Like check with any Black historical scholar and you'll quickly see that the entirety of the US is characterized by slavery. Sexual assault is, as we've determined, almost exclusively a tool of subjugation, it's an exercise of power over the powerless. So it's integral to the character of the US.

These are the same people who are ok with child brides in this country, and think a victim of SA needs to be married to her abuser so as to not tarnish the family’s reputation. It all tracks.
Being a Republican definitionally means being cool with child rape

If my 7-year-old engaged in this sort of bigotry and name calling I would expect to find myself in a parent-teacher conference by tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile, the White House Press Secretary is out here on national television, living her best life
After calling Schumer a "Palestinian," Leavitt refers to "Gavin Newscum." So she's just ripping off her boss's smears now.
