I am surprised how little I see you talk about the fuckery going on in the country. Is there more of that over on the unnamed app, or just focused on this right now?

The amount of money claimed to have been donated is worth about an hour, based on the last military budget. No one donated $130m, and if they did it wouldn't matter

But seriously, it takes longer than this to design in adequate detail anything. The plans must be so incredibly half-assed

You should be embarrassed. You could, ya know, use your platform to say it's not cringe to exercise your first amendment rights in a huge way and fight the rapid descent into fascism. Or, you can just quote some anonymous people calling it cringe and use that as a deadline. Choices, choices

And they're mostly paying more attention to the one that was committed against an individual homophobic, racist, mysoginistic media figure, as opposed to a lot of innocent children, which is also telling

Excellent stuff. Aston Villa got me

Fuck anyone who capitulates with this "order"

Congrats!

Embarrassing. I couldn't decide whether to engage to tell you how problematic that headline is, or tell you to eff all the way off and block. So I guess I'll do both.

Also there's really no benefit to selling off stuff you already have. So we don't need to be quick to judge. The real question is, what do we all do next?

Oh no, sad 40 year olds 🎻

Come on, NPR. I hoped to count on you to actually be critical of bullshit. And everything about that bill is bullshit. Be brave enough to use more accurate (and colorful) language

Oh for sure, I don't blame them. Not even sure what I'd do in that situation. Just saying that it's inevitable that it escalates sooner or later

All these people with cameras. Some day they'll put the cameras down and do something, and I'm both looking forward to and afraid of what will happen then

It's not THAT far off. It was an abusive, one sided, manipulative relationship. The declaration said we're tired of it and it's time for us to go our own way. It feels like a break up letter is an appropriate analogy

Nah, fam. There's ai use that's information gathering, and there's ai use that's generation. People are getting dumber and taking their AI results as truth, when it is interpolating results. That's not the same as reading compiled resources

I am certainly not suggesting that. Silence is not consent, especially where a power dynamic. The secretary who is silent when her boss slaps her ass, for example. "You just walk right up and do it" does not imply to me they said "yes" it implies they didn't say anything, they weren't asked
