Immediately thinking of the local indie bookstore in town that has a permanent variety of editions

I mean you're maybe not wrong, but it also doesn't have conditional logic. It can't take in data and then make choices, it can only give what it considers is the most statistically likely response (and if it misinterprets something or doesn't have an example, it just makes shit up)

Texas schools are using AI to screen library books under new state law Supporters see ChatGPT as a way to help weed out inappropriate content, but critics say AI can include incorrect details and miss valuable context.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

AI is inseparable from fascism

It’s giving

Genuinely how in the fuck do you rank either of them first and a Republican third

So happy for NYC. Fuck yes.
But also if you could please send Minneapolis good vibes while we maybe collectively lose our minds for 48ish hours of ranked choice voting…that would be great.

Screenshotting this for when I support literally whoever is primarying you

I respect your prestige, but IMO there’s a time and a place for everything except Keystone Light. More expensive than Miller Light and Natty, tastes objectively worse than Hamm’s. The preference of no one except people who are mad about not having worse options available for some reason.

A quote: "I can't vote, but my existence is political because I'm undocumented, so I can't sit this race out." followed by the text, "There is something at stake in this election for everyone who makes Minneapolis home. Not just those of us who can cast a vote." Mpls for the Many logo at the bottom.

There is so much at stake in this election - and not just for those of us who can vote.

Many people in our city will feel the impact of the results for years to come.

Read this letter from an undocumented Gen Z Minnesotan and share it with your friends and family before you cast your votes.

Also people should really rank Eric Harris Bernstein first. He’s great, he seems like a nerd who really cares about this stuff despite the bad pay, and Bob Fine is basically a Republican. Steve Brandt is great as your second (ranked, of two seats) choice, but I fear Eric needs the boost

Please go rank people who aren’t our dogshit baby mayor

US military can temporarily detain protesters in Los Angeles, commander says The commander overseeing military operations in Los Angeles said that troops deployed to the city can temporarily detain individuals but cannot make arrests.

Yeah maybe some of them but definitely not all/a majority

People are being nice to me. They’d sure change their tune if they knew how badly I want to ruin their lives. I’m normal.

Justification used by bad people sometimes? Obviously. Maybe literally the only actually good inherited tradition we have as Americans? Also yes.
IDK what to tell you good and bad motivations both exist, jeepers.

Like. I'm very piqued about some very specific, throwaway nonsense, but to condemn "Fuck the government and people who tell me how to live, I have one life and I will be spending it how I fucking please" as universally antisocial is a very bad read on a lot of human history

I cannot stress enough how much I don't really want to empathize with The Fucking Pilgrims, but Brownists were beaten and run out of towns for not following the Church of England. "Fuck this I'm literally just trying to live how I want" has some real parallels, I say as a trans person, in 2025.

"the white people who settled here were always" is a very confusing qualifier if you were talking specifically about 102 Mayflower colonists. Who were Calvinists and did disagree with a lot of people...but because they thought they shouldn't have to follow their national religion. Which. Same.

Colonialism is *obviously* bad, but I really don’t think you can grasp where we are at in the US currently if you think everyone who came here from England through the 20th century was just anti-social. People don’t get how much living under empire sucks, even while living under it!

Like, England had pretty not-uncommon father/daughter incest until *the first world war*. Guy Fawkes was protesting Catholics being summarily murdered by the government. It sucked shit to live there, a lot, almost like history has been running in cycles and here we are again

Like. I don’t like defending Catholics but England went through a whole phase of *killing Catholics*. Guy Fawkes tried to blow up parliament because of it.
Boo colonialism but c’mon. The horrible machine of history runs in circles, look at America currently, I don’t not know how they felt!

As one of the people who would be un-personed by amendments Republicans keep making to things while dems largely don’t oppose them, I’m okay with everything just staying shut down 🫠

ICE Investigations, Powered by Nvidia ICE’s investigative division, increasingly involved in street-level immigration enforcement, struck a software deal with Nvidia.

Yeah seems real unlikely

Sure is interesting how the parent companies of news stations (Fox:Disney) will sue and defame people over using their brand for some things, but not this, isn’t it. Wow. Hrm.
