I'm starting to think your coworkers have ulterior motives.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC. trib.al/n6hAZOC

Aaagh. Yeah that too.

I feel that struggle immensely. It just feels like shouting into the void, personally, and I don't have much interest in doing that.

Oh no, certainly not. Nor would it ever possibly resonate with those small friends either.

Tigers? Gross??

I'm insulted by the very notion.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

Exactly why people don't trust them as far as they can throw them.

So it all kind of culminates in this angry, bracing for the worst, kind of reaction since that's what past experiences have taught people to expect.

A lack of counterevidence and transparency from Discord is pretty damning in this case. Without a clear and trustworthy statement of who they're actually having process age verification, this kind of speculation can run wild. And discord doesn't have a good track record to begin with.

This is absolutely superb!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Yesyesyesyes this exactly. For me personally that's around the 12-20ft ballpark, though stuff like Sal rescuing that cargo ship definitely gave me a πŸ‘€ experience for that size range.
