When I criticize the Liberal government in any way at all, no matter how reasonable, my free and paid subscribers on Substack go down. This dynamic creates a perverse incentive, which I refuse to give in to.
But this is a major problem.

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Tammi Hamby was just arrested for staging a fake kidnapping of her own daughter to teach her a lesson.
Turns out she's the same Christian woman who crusaded to remove LGBTQ books from the library in the name of child safety.
The hypocrisy is WILD.

A Christian mom who tried to ban LGBTQ books just got arrested for kidnapping her own daughter
From censoring LGBTQ books to staging a kidnapping, Tammi Hamby’s crusade shows how Christian Nationalist power harms the very communities it claims to protect

Generative AI causes so many demonstrable harms, from counseling kids into suicide, stealing creative work and destroying the market for it, perverting education, and this predictable horror. Any other product like this would be regulated into the smallest possible box by a responsible society.
This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines
