Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.
If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.
Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

The US is arming a literal genocide, has blocked international action against that genocide, and has now started a war with a sovereign nation by bombing some power plants its own intelligence reports are simply power plants - all on behalf of the country committing genocide.

Any news agency that reports "the US is closer to war" or similar phrasing is propaganda and you should not trust them ever again, note down the reporters name and never trust them again, do not fund them, end your sub.
The US just went to war. Iran can opt to retaliate under international law.

As a trans person, I disagree pretty strongly. And I don't really care for cis people claiming authority on what is and isn't "good allyship" in the face of actual trans people telling you that this was, in fact, backtracking and giving credence and credibility to Gaines' hateful bullshit.
Simone apologizing for taking a personal shot at Riley G while reiterating her belief in prioritizing inclusivity while also seeking fairness isn’t backtracking or being a bad ally. Folks are still allowed to care about their own behavior even if others are trash, and there is nuance to the convo.

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.
Guys, please talk about Thiago Avila.
He's the Brazilian activist on Freedom Flotilla kidnapped by Israel. He's still detained and has been doing a hunger and water strike since yesterday early morning. There have been reports of unsanitary conditions too.
Please talk about him.

There's no such thing as a "Non-Lethal" round. If you hear it crack, it broke the sound barrier, and you don't want to get hit with anything that breaks the sound barrier.

In reality they're just asking chatbots "are you alive?" 5,000 different ways until it run out of tokens, starts glitching, and begins spitting out non-sequitur answers that they can post as evidence of "emergence" or "the spiral" or "reflection."
