They keep telling you not to use violence because they know violence works.

A very American problem.
Great that we have food safety in the EU

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Die Union möchte das #DeutschlandTicket nach 2025 abschaffen. Das sollten alle ÖPNV- und Bahnfahrer wissen, bevor sie in zwei Wochen ihre Wahlentscheidung treffen.

Möchte mit Blick auf die 🇦🇹 #Koalitionsverhandlungen daran erinnern: Als ÖVP, SPÖ und NEOS sprachen, bauten die ÖVP-Landeshauptleute Stelzer und Mikl-Leitner ständig Druck auf - auch auf Nehammer:"Tempo!" Nun, da ÖVP & die #Kickl #FPÖ seit Tagen herumeiern, schweigen Stelzer und Mikl-Leitner. Tja.

Alex Volko @altryne On the topic of our kids having AI friends (long) I got my 6 yo daughter an AI toy for her b-day that arrived for Xmas instead. She unpacked it all excited, I explained that this isnt like the other toys, that this one has AI in it (she of course knows what AI is, seen the things Ive built and interacted with them, chatted with ChatGPT and Santa mode, knows that daddy is "doing AI" etc). So a very interesting experiment happaned after @magicaltoys reached out and fixed the issue referenced below (very quick turnaround thank you) So...she played with this Dino, chatted with it, and the..learned to turn it off, and doesnt want it to talk anymore. She still loves playing with it, dressed it up, it now has paper shoes and a top that we made together, but every time I ask her if shed like to chat with it, she says no.

Don't think there is a better illustration of AI-in-everything-whether-we-want-it-or-not than an AI bro buying an AI toy for his child who played with it for a bit and then seemed singularly unimpressed with the AI and turned it off.
He keeps turning it back on, and she keeps turning it off.

I was on Usenet when I was 9 — babies first interweb — and 11 when I was on the web and chat rooms prob way worse than many social platforms today. Just like that episode of Degrassi, I was asked for nudes from old men the second I got online. But unlike Emma I never agreed to meet anyone lol.

Saw this on my way back from coffee.

TIL that BlueSky alt text isn’t actually added to the image?

This seems…not good?

Is accurate? Outta my “coding” league so…

This reminds me of some BDSM comics I saw many years ago, which were pretty harsh, BUT, BUT they had a page or two at the beginning and end where the _fictional characters_ talked about the roles there were gonna be playing like they were actors and what they liked about it, likewise at the end.
