This is really bad!
First - it seems some kind of monitoring and/or database is being kept on community independent volunteers - and then there's the refusal to serve a constituent based on their political views.
This is REALLY bad!!! #auspol

Oh my god the absolute depravity of this.
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

Mina Bui Jones is a resident of the Hunter Valley region that is overly reliant on the boom and bust of coal prices. She was arrested this afternoon with #RisingTide, demanding a 78% tax on coal exports to help fund a just transition away from the dangerous fossil fuel economy 💚

this derives directly from the legitimising “ethical ai use” discourse, the white centrism of ai, of weak and gutless FOMO driven managers, who fucking REFUSE to prioritise student learning and the actual planet ahead of a self-serving careerism that involves subsidising pervert billionaires.
Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity.

I think this decision is wrong.

Hundreds of Ukrainian athletes will never be able to compete because they gave their lives defending Ukraine against Russia's war of aggression.

👀 New reporting says Trump’s team knew their ❝drug boat❞ killing spree might be illegal, shrugged off CIA and Pentagon lawyers who said so, gutted the NSC legal shop, and just kept hunting for friendlier legal cover while more than 80 people were blown out of the water.

It's that time of year when Americans set up quaint, walkable Christmas villages in their living rooms, dreaming of living in such a cozy place.

​Meanwhile, they'll show up to city council meetings to fiercely oppose any plan that would actually build that kind of car-lite community in real life.

This should be taken as pretty solid universal advice for just about anything you're trying to do. Instead of using AI, build and sustain real friendships instead.
