So, like the Brown Shirts and the Nazis.
What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?
ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

I looked more into this episode, and the majority of these participants are influencers. They are openly & brazenly racist, antisemitic etc.
They are using this to gain a mainstream audience by being boosted by both Jubilee and Zeteo. This is how the left often helps mainstream the far right.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care.
They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.
This won’t just harm people. This will kill people.
They own this.

Pendant v2 - the first version was too heavy.

The amount to which modern tech reporting is just advertising is shameful. I cringe every time I see the latest Apple product launches on the news.
Okay I am sorry can we not just print Elon Musk marketing copy that says "smartest AI on earth" when it really should say "large language model that is better at the benchmarks tests they made up specifically for LLMs where they can literally train on both the questions and their answers

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
