All this upload a photo if your ID/scan your face to prove you're not a kid to protect the kids seems like a big data collection thing. You know, the data that is sold to powerful data firms like Cambridge Analytica & Palantir that then gets used to influence elections & gets sold to sell you shit.

If you are paying taxes and getting zero services or healthcare in return, you are being taxed without representation. If your only incentive to pay taxes anymore is simply to avoid going to prison instead of any societal benefits, then you are no longer a citizen but a slave.

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.
That alone makes him a powerful senator.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Bluesky lives in a fantasy world were LLMs are useless plagiarism machines. When the reality is they generally work. Just not well enough for the way the masses are using them. Most people can’t handle something that is sometimes wrong.
I encounter more and more people in real life lately who think AI genuinely is some kind of truth machine and it feels like they are living on a different planet in a way that is just incredibly distressing
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

The Sopranos is probably the Rosetta Stone of modern American reaction: it consists of people who bemoan the loss of an imagined past they mainly got from movies, claim victimization based on identity but hate when others do it, and view the people who build the society they prey on as suckers.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
Don't let them get away with it.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.
