In Chinese tradition, the chrysanthemum is no passive bloom. It’s a quiet act of rebellion.
When Tao Yuanming(365–427) wrote, “Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountain(采菊東籬下，悠然見南山),” he wasn’t admiring scenery but 1/2

This isn't the way, my dude. Pointing fingers at another killer, saying "but they also did it." Has never convinced a jury to not prosecute you. It should be the same for this.

If you use AI, you use it, and you better just admit you don't care

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
Exclusive: Ofcom is monitoring VPNs following Online Safety Act. Here's how
Ignoring VPNs risks creating ineffective laws, but tracking them threatens people's privacy

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet
Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version Question So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file. After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now. Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

In the 10 days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was announced to take effect, the Israeli military has already repeatedly violated it. Al Jazeera reports that it has continued its genocide, killing nearly 100 Palestinians and wounding over 300 people.

I encourage ICE to continue to arrest police officers. This and their previous tear gassing of Chicago cops will definitely improve relations between the two groups.

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost. The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how. The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation. In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing. The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process? Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve. Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

WSJ owes an explanation, as does the FBI. Who dumped that crap into their bulletins? If not the same person, who leaked it? Why does either person still have a job? Congress should demand answers immediately.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting
Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

"I hate knowing what all these terms mean"
yeah, but they're the reason you don't let it slide. Maybe you should know. Maybe more people should know what all these dog whistles are. Maybe not knowing is half the damn problem. Not knowing is going to suck for you more than knowing will

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials.

My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!
