More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

NFTs, Web3, the Metaverse, VR, and AI all help soothe/distract from people's fears about climate change by replacing the physical with the virtual and promising infinite growth. It is capitalism pleading for its life, arguing for its own viability in the wake of obvious and valid criticisms.

Never forget that the vast majority of "child marriages" involve a girl being married to a significantly older man. The primary purpose of child marriage is to facilitate rape.
Roughly, 16,666 minor kids get married a year vs 3,681 trans kids on HRT annually in average, with that second number being even smaller now due to the number of statewide healthcare bans that have been enacted over the last 3 years
It's a huge huge HUGE difference
