I would like to point out that just because the emperor got chucked into a warp core, the empire persisted for three more movies.

I'm beginning to think the only thing The Matrix got wrong was using people for energy instead of training data.

Best characterization of LLMs — and their limits — I've seen yet.

This is what democracy looks like

During the Protest: Stay vigilant: Be aware of your surroundings and any signs of potential danger or escalation. Stay with your buddy/group: Stick together and look out for each other. Follow directions from organizers: They will guide the protest and share important information. Remain calm: If faced with a tense situation, try to de-escalate and avoid engaging with counter-protesters. Document: If it is safe to do so, document police actions and any potential rights violations. Be mindful of not filming or photographing the faces of fellow protesters. If police issue a dispersal order, comply: Ensure you have a clear exit path and a reasonable opportunity to comply. After the Protest: Check in with your contacts: Let them know you're safe. Debrief: Discuss the event with your group and report any incidents to legal aid organizations if needed. Take care of yourself: Rest, hydrate, and seek emotional support if needed. Important Considerations: Peaceful demonstration is key: Focus on making your voice heard without engaging in violence or illegal activities. Protect your privacy: Be mindful of digital security and avoid sharing identifying information about yourself or others online. Know your limits: Don't risk your safety if you feel threatened or uncomfortable. You can always participate in other ways.

Timeless advice.

Might even be a daily thing.

No King! on the sand with a US flag at Ocean Beach

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

It's a fairly tale about the miller's youngest son who inherits a cat.

The cat tells the miller's son that he can make him rich and famous by manipulating social networking, but he needs money to buy some automation.

I call it, "Puss in Bots".

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

I guess Stephen Miller ordered the invasion of CA while Trump was out partying!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The federal government is about to suppress the citizenry.

This is a coup.

Resist.

“Even some MAGA Republicans warn that the bill’s deep Medicaid cuts will hammer Trump’s working-class base. Trump is actively deceiving his base by pretending those cuts only target fraud. Musk, similarly, would use the ‘waste, fraud & abuse’ canard to absolutely annihilate the state if he could.”

Federal law enforcement is pushing its authority and people exercising their First Amendment right to protest are at risk of abuse.

This is a coup.

Resist.

Turns out the people who are doing the things that white supremacists would enjoy doing are white supremacists.

Now they’re using tear gas & stun grenades on the crowds that witness their cowardly “raids.” They’re shit-scared. This is gonna lead to bystander deaths.

Look at these zilches in their Judge Dredd cosplay. This is the happiest moment of their miserable, forgettable lives.

Putin has been weakened.

More of this please.

My father had friends of many creeds and colors. He taught us to be fascinated by humanity’s differences. Then Fox News ruined him, injecting him with fear. He’s gone now, and I want to have fond memories. But I can’t help thinking of him as an avatar for how the right wing has poisoned my country.
