Capitalism is a ponzi scheme
i honestly can't stand seeing people say Gen AI is a disability aid because if it was a disability aid, they wouldn't be putting this much money into it
The Atlantic says Dubai is a haven for middle-class migrants and this is their evidence. You cannot make this shit up.

We've been over this many times. Of course it leaks; it's a crappy unreinforced soft concrete cover, built largely for show.
BTW, the crater in the background is from the US 'Lacrosse' 40 kt nuclear test ground shot in 1956. This is not a nice place, all of it the Yanks' doing.
Thinking of how both Indochina and Iran are rich, diverse regions which exist as geographic, cultural and economic bridges between the lands and peoples surrounding them, and how two generations of US leadership believed they could bury their dreams of self-determination under a deluge of bombs.
Again, please start looking at American history to explain America because Goldwater, McCarthyism and blackballing are right there...
I've mentioned before how a notable liberal lawyer screamed at me (in Hamburg 2013) that her family was killed in the holocaust but she'd be proud to personally hand anarchists over to nazis because the most important thing is to make sure there's a state.
Lot of that with bluesky libs.

Israel's campaign of murderous ethnic cleansing and genocide continues in Lebanon. How can any human hand-wring about this? The 'both sides' are the side of life and the side of death.
Israel is obsessed with mass-murdering children and they must be stopped

The poet Adrienne Rich: "If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up. You begin by stopping the torture and killing of the unprotected..."
#OtD 14 Mar 1879 legendary physicist Albert Einstein was born in Germany. While most famous for his scientific theories, Einstein was also a socialist, and wrote an excellent explanation of the capitalist system and its inherent flaws stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8591...
At the beginning of the pandemic some disabled people felt hope.
We saw inclusion and accessibility improve overnight.
We saw accommodations put in place that we had spent years begging for.
We saw the world adapt.
That hope was ripped away during the rush back to normal.
It still hurts.
The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.
This is a slave bounty .
It’s a slave bounty
It’s run exactly like we did escaped slaves and railroad workers
They always go after children and doctors first, I notice
Why does he say “would” and not “will”?
Oh so it’s just the *videos* that “cause reputational damage”? The literally moronic fascist criming, that was cool, tho?
At what point are sanctions going to be declared and enforced on the United States of America?
“First they fascinate the fools then they muzzle the intelligent.”

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them.
Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?
Republicans, when talking about war and absolutely nothing else.
Hiiiii, feel free to keep deaf people out of this! So sick of the condescension disguised as faux concern about how disabled people "need" AI. We don't. Autocaptions are almost always very bad, and then people like you use their existence to justify taking away actual accommodations that work.
For ppl in Sydney, Jura Books is holding events ...
They’ll recognize the personhood of super advanced autocorrect before the personhood of women or minorities.
The *apists were caught on camera and defended their actions. The Israeli public filled the streets to defend their right to *ape. This is Israel. This is Zionism. And it is irredeemable.
100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.
