I'm only on page 11. This really stuck out to me. They're probably flat-out lying in their reports and are absolutely viewing all protests as riots, but asking ChatGPT to create a report for them probably didn't help!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

HeinOnline, a company I genuinely like, released AI-generated article summaries on some of the articles that live in their Law Journal Library. I've now compared two of the summaries to their parent articles. Both were not that good. /1

Not about to blast my entire stress address, but there have been more ICE abduction reports in my neighborhood, including some around the corner from my home. This is the closest they've physically come to me and it's utterly terrifying. (I'm working on campus today at least.)

My alderman just posted this, and I got an ICIRR alert about it. Broadway/Belmont is close to my home. They also grabbed people from LaSalle/Stockton, which all of the Lakeview/LP/express buses go through.

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Hey so the president is saying that he's going to use major cities with Dem mayors (including the one I live in) as training grounds for the military, which is so beyond unsettling and terrifying that I don't really have the words! What the hell is going on!
JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

There are quite a few posts on the Chicago subreddit with photos and videos. They snatched an entire family. They’re armed and in one of the busiest areas of the city on a Sunday. I want to say that this is unbelievable, but I can’t quite get there anymore.
The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.
This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

One of the comments on this article suggests using this tool to weed out "fake" disability claims for depression.
I have depression. I also have no poker face and raging RBF. I look upset by default. But if my facial muscles don't move in the way the AI wants, would my depression be discounted?

Reddit is a cesspool *if you let it be.* I stick to my subreddits about cross stitch and The Sims and it's mostly a delightful experience. If you had any inkling of the "deep, dark Internet" at all, you would know this.
