What’s this?

Oh, just ICE physically assaulting a candidate for Congress.
We’re peacefully protesting for our neighbors. What does ICE do?

Pick us up and throw us on the ground. No arrest, no identification, no process.

Collectively, these studies suggest that gastric exposure represents a potential non-respiratory route for A(H5N1) IAVs in mammals that can lead to infection and support that IAV may be detected in mammalian intestinal tissues following multiple exposure routes.

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.

The most important part of this case is that the ruling says it's fair use for AI companies to train their models on authors' works without consent.

The $1.5 Billion is a slap on the wrist, and is because Anthropic used LibGen database of pirated works

Writers aren't getting this settlement because their work was fed to an AI -- this is just a costly slap on the wrist for Anthropic because it illegally downloaded books instead of buying them.

Also, most #disabled ppl are like:

“Let’s promote awareness & understanding & acceptance & education for ________”

But then they organize inaccessible conferences that ostracize #immunocompromised ppl

Many immunocompromised ppl have multiple disabilities & we deserve to be included in your event
Apparently, fitting in & not living according to your values is more important than caring about marginalized people

For those who aren’t aware, #immunocompromised ppl are the most marginalized, silenced, & forgotten group within the #disabled / chronically ill community

Left behind & no one cares
