It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Exactly. Trump's openly murderous grifting is disgusting, but these people are coldly assessing that condoning torture of vulnerable humans will benefit them politically. Supporting genocide and torture with corporate euphemisms isn't better than cheering it on with fascist pageantry. Be
This is the Torture Memos scandal and legal wrangling around the Geneva Convention wrt GTMO all over again, only this time with neither a war nor an inciting terror attack. Just desperate scrambling to find ways to legitimate cruel and inhuman treatment of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants.

I honestly think most people are happier in a committed relationship, because we are social and emotional animals and everyone needs someone to love. And that makes the polarisation of political views by gender even more sad (except for gay people, which is nice! Lol).

In the UK people tend to be all 'awwww' about police dogs and their Incredible Bond With Their Handlers. No, that bond is the last vestige of retained humanity in the overwhelmingly corrupted spirit of the practice.

Siccing dogs on people is a slave tracker thing, a Bull Connor thing, a police brutality thing, a jackboot thug thing, an evil abuse of both dog and man which only a fully corrupted spirit could enact.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

His large, smooth, pink face isn't even in the top 50 reasons to be disgusted by him. And yet.
This is one of those things that really does show *how* insular and *how* disconnected from reality the London media/politics/think tank bubble is. And why it's so impossible to talk to any of these people. Aliens and weirdos.
It is comical how disliked Wes Streeting is by everyone other than Labour MPs and centrist journalists.
I'm not sure even they actually like him, they just see him as "electoral dynamite" for reasons that are beyond the rest of us.
Even a paper-thin win at the last election didn't change this.

Apparently The Voice of Hind Rajab will get wider U.S. distribution on December 16.
It’s a massive punch in the gut and I hope as many people as possible can see it.

Just saw The Voice of Hind Rajab.
There were moments when you could feel the whole theater was quietly sobbing.
I really hope it gets wider U.S. distribution than a single showing in NYC.
