AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

Trump works for Putin. Plain & simple. I don’t know why, by now, anyone has a hard time saying that. Call Trump a Putin puppet, call him a Russian asset, whatever. The truth is the same. Trump works for Putin.

this guy loves making down payments on future 9/11s with other people's money

Trump works for Putin. Trump is a traitor.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

pump up this signal enough, it might not happen.

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

If you want to talk about LLMs being of use to people who aren't Musk and Altman and Zuckerberg, you have to talk about *power*, and how others could have it. You have to describe a credible alternative political economy. The bits and bytes don't actually mean shit without that.

Meanwhile, Trump is rewarding Russia for helping to kill Americans fighting the war Trump started by helping Putin sell more oil to fund his mass murders of Ukrainians.

Petard means fart and is a reference to medieval breaching grenades that soldiers would shove against doors using long wooden poles.

So being "hoisted on your own petard" means to blow yourself up.

You probably knew this, but i like sharing it.

bleeds with keenest anguish at the undraped spectacle of a valor-ruined man.

I’m just gonna say we’re getting to his pain point.

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Give me an F!

If we understand a core tenet of fascism to inherently be anti intellectual and having deep contempt for the humanities, arts, and any vehicle used for human expression, then the forced deployment of AI into every sphere of life makes sense

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

No, you are not. I think it's so familiar that they don't even recognize it

Did they bomb the elementary school twice, 40 minutes apart, to make sure to kill any surviving kids and to kill the rescue workers who were trying to save kids’ lives?

What I would like are governments that are so keen to act in the interests of their people and the global community that they will listen carefully to criticism rather than ridicule or try to suppress it. Yes, I know I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one.

If they start targeting each other’s water desalination plants, the region may end up with tens of millions of thirsty refugees. Trump is playing a game of Mutual Assured Destruction with a culture that glorifies martyrdom. What could possibly go wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
