We are more than the data which describes us
The devil doesn't need any more advocates, but also: do you see the dehumanization in the move you made there?

We don't "sample", we interact. Language is fundamentally social and reducing people to their "output" is the basic problematic move of the AI boosters.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was.

I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works"

NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T
You don't have to dirty your soul to be a successful academic or a scientist. Have some fucking pride. Have some fucking principles.

If you think you DO need to do that, all I can say is that I beg you not to go into academia or science.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Trans people are NOT a danger to cis women and children. Trans people are significantly MORE at risk of sexual violence, not perpetration. This is about making trans people and gender nonconforming people less safe through authoritarian state-sanctioned harassment and lawfare.

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:

If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.
This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

J. Michael Straczynski’s Babylon 5 premieres in syndication on 26 January 1994. From the first episode on, I realized that I had been waiting my whole life for a science fiction series like this. Simply the best!

And so it begins…
Terrific characters, politics, spaceship action and series set-up
But most of all – despite all, and it’s so much harder to now – I still love Londo, his tragedy, comedy and razor-sharp dialogue.

The 1989 Polytechnique massacre not only changed gun laws in Canada but first responders practices as well. Police go in and engage, no securing the perimeter first. The fact that the police spox at the time lost his own daughter that day might have impacted decision makers.

This child's family has an ACTIVE asylum case. Which means they are not here illegally. And if they were, it would be a civil offense, not a felony. And yet they separated this family and scarred this child forever.

CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. That is where we are.
Okay.
Liam Ramos is five.
Taken from his father after school.
His family didn’t know where he was for 24 hours.
He’s NOW in a federal detention facility in Texas.
At least one other student is there too.
Two other elementary school students were taken and the school doesn’t know where they are.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Gotta watch video and it'll blow your mind that anyone in power on our side can sit and watch this happen and do zippo. They're all weak and scared and can't do the job. They're forcing taxpayers to defend themselves. That's not the job of the taxpayer.
