Just because you're a man doesn't mean the male gaze doesn't land on you, too. It doesn't mean patriarchy doesn't want to ruin your life, too. When your sisters talk about destroying those things, they're talking about freeing you, too.

"Why Black people don't call the police."
And
"Why cops make the murder rate go up."
Part 1000.
Award winning musician GloRilla's house was burglarized by home invaders who knew she would be performing at a concert.
Police showed up and... searched her house for drugs...🤔
And charged her.🤡

Laura is absolutely correct here.
If we understand a “bias” to be a disposition in favor of some outcomes and not others, any LLM trained on our existing culture will display similar dispositions in favor of the maintenance of structures of oppression.

journalists and the press should make it very clear this move is about information control and mandating that all future automation tools amplify and protect right wing ideology and right wing propaganda
White House officials are preparing an executive order targeting tech companies with what they see as “woke” artificial-intelligence models, their latest effort to go after diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
White House Prepares Executive Order Targeting ‘Woke AI’<br>
The order would be one of several expected to be released outlining the president’s vision for winning the AI race with China.

Jun. 11 the ACNA published the Bishops’ Presentment against Bp. Ruch, previously unseen by ACNA members for 2.5 years. It was then removed for redaction and has not been returned. We are re-posting the presentment today, properly redacted.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Folks are putting too many conditions on who should or shouldn’t get snatched up, disappeared, & detained.
I don’t care if someone is caught allegedly doing something, the constitutional right to due process & legal representation exists for all, not some.
What we’re seeing is state kidnapping.

the rational assumption for most people at this point on seeing agents of the state is that there’s a good chance they’re going to kidnap or murder you, whether they’re real agents or fake ones

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests
