It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.

This is not a joke.

We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Opinion | Me, Myself and My A.I. SloppelgΓ€nger

Grammarly's AI-fueled edits -- using my name - suggested making up sources and writing vague insinuations.

In my latest for @nytopinion.nytimes.com (gift link) I describe Grammarly's terrible edits in my name -- and call for a federal right of publicity.

Up through the 1930s, State Fairs across America featured head on collisions between trains. The first occurred at the Iowa State Fair in 1896 before a crowd of 20,000. This video is from the Minnesota State Fair during the Great Depression, as featured in the poster below:

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

Anti-vaxxers are bad parents. Not vaccinating your child is abuse.

We should eliminate all non-medical exemptions for vaccines.

Sorry, not sorry.

I wholeheartedly second this! Go get the HPV vaxx! I finished my set of shots 4 years ago (got them at Planned Parenthood!). The age limit is 45 now, so if you're a Millennial who missed out on the vaxx when you were younger, there's still time!

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events

Upshot: verify before amplifying

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

More than 17k Korean Adoptees in US Lack Citizenship. Most Live in Minnesota. For the more than 15,000 Korean adoptees in Minnesota who lack citizenship, recent immigration raids have caused immense fear and anxiety.

Over 17 THOUSAND people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora in the US, spanning the entire period up to its inception 70 years ago, lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ inaction.
