It probably goes without saying, but not a damn person outside of Staten Island actually cares about the opinions of folks from Staten Island...especially if they actually know someone from Staten Island personally.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Well, wasn't there a court case that said they have no legal requirement to protect the public?

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Dems should hammer the Epstein files because it's a glaring coverup that shatters the MAGA coalition. It shows what the Republican power brokers really think of the conspiracist base.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral β€œtools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill."

He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

These are not police.

By law, they have to identify. If they won’tβ€”copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

Time & time again, you demonstrate how absolutely useless you are as Minority Leader. "Risk of war"? Are you kidding us? Do you actually consider this a police action? Are you really that hopelessly ignorant of reality? Our House Democrats need to remove you from leadership immediately.

Reddit screenshot:

[Steam] Players are requesting to be able to filter out games with GenAI

300+ comments on that topic and it seems almost everyone agrees. Will see if Steam adds the options, but I would appreciate it both as a dev and a player!

SteamDB screenshot of the AI tag page:

This tag identifies games where developers have disclosed the use of generative artificial intelligence anywhere in their product or marketing. SteamDB applies this tag automatically when the specific AI generative content disclosure statement appears on a game's Steam store page. It applies regardless of whether AI was used in the game itself or just for marketing assets. Games receive this tag based solely on the presence of Steam's required disclosure text.

Players have been asking for the ability to filter out games made with Gen AI.

We've added an automatic tag on SteamDB based on the AI gen content disclosures on the store pages.

Just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos. I'm not an attorney, and you manage to break it all down, without leaving out the key legal issues, in a way that's easy for us laypeople to understand. Keep up the great work!

been struggling with the idea that all of human history, all of the destruction, the suffering, the brutality, the razing, the pillaging, the salting of the beautiful fields of this planet has all led up to this. guys burning down everything built over that ruin just so they can do a coy nazi salute

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

They’re marinating in right-wing paranoia there.

No matter how savvy or smart they imagine themselves to be, prolonged contact with that kind of crazy will absolutely warp their understanding of what β€œnormal people” think

That would require her to actually make a stand that's more than just performative. She doesn't do that kind of thing.
