I am.

And you're (implicitly) right that I should stop.

Thank you for your service.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

We think not having a home indicates that someone doesn't deserve one. It's deeply irrational. We have a prejudice against the homeless, and the poor in general. It's as deep as any other bigotry.

Refusing to build supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless means more unhoused people living on our streets and in our parks, AND much higher public costs paid by all of us. It’s as simple as that. #UrbanTruth

Do people not realize that Saskatchewan already doesn’t change its clocks year round? It’s not like anarchy reigns depending on whether the sun is out.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

A lot of people are dunking on this, so my 2 cents:

Please note, fascists DO NOT "get the trains running on time." They don't care about governance, have no organizational skills, and spend half their time infighting.

They're deeply incompetent.

This needs to not be a surprise any more.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

Opinion: OpenAI has shown it cannot be trusted. Canada needs nationalized, public AI OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, lobbied Ottawa for business. All the while it hid its knowledge of Tumbler Ridge shooter

We don't have a nationalized public cloud, we don't have a national public internet provider, we don't have a public social media siteβ€”all things most Canadians actually use and need on a daily basisβ€”but sure, let's spend billions in public funds making a public AI first.

A conspiracy to maintain the illusion that the "AI" industry isn't a scam.

The UK government is looking to make legal for AI companies that which any ordinary citizen could be taken to court for. It is on the cusp of approving theft *only* in this case, a truly unequivocal β€œrules for thee, not for me” scenario.

That AI needs such special treatment indicts it utterly.

Seeing someone operate from the framework that Zionism equates to Jewishness, that Jewish ppl are all white Europeans, and Palestinian Jews don’t count - works to suss out zionists & antisemites

Probably because of the white Christian Zionists trying to get Jesus to return are at the top of it all

This is very serious, but the "no other minority" phrasing is not only incorrect, but makes people look like they only started caring about this the second it happened to their people. And that thinking is the reason why Trump is in office in the first place.

I can tell you're a propagandist because you made this post twice, and you've raised the stakes to Holocaust-adjacent.

I bought a refurbished Thinkpad T14 when I switched to Linux, and aside from one *serious* problem when I first got it, it's been smooth sailing for the most part.

I read other people's struggles with Linux, and I finally realize *why* all the websites said, "JFC, just get a Thinkpad!!"
