Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

However, Google and Apple have also now blocked Eyes Up, which was an app that archived ICE abuses but provided no information about officer location. The only reason to block it is to protect ICE from criticism of their documentation actions www.404media.co/apple-banned...

Apple banned the apps DeICEr and ICEBlock arguing “Information provided to Apple by law enforcement shows that your app violates Guideline 1.1.1 because its purpose is to provide location information about law enforcement officers that can be used to harm such officers individually or as a group” 1/

My understanding is that millennials on down would fail at drawing the clock

No, that’s the opposite!

Social cues are interpreted through the foreskin.

This is mercantilism. The president is the master of a big tax farm, and you’re the cash cow. The country is considered rich insofar as money flows toward the ruler and then stops.

Every modern economic theory, from Marxism to Milton Friedman, has rejected mercantilist thinking.

Can someone Sora this duet?

Same! I’m curious!

No one actually knows how to increase fertility rates, so we’re probably going to have to do that anyway

I guess my unpopular opinion is that the idea that we need more adults in the future so we should structure society to produce more children now is gross.

By all means help kids and help parents because we need it, but this population planning stuff is icky

American companies generate a tremendous amount of wealth in the upper-middle class range. People getting paid $200,000, $300,000, and $400,000 per year and up. These are not necessarily extremely difficult jobs, either. Hence the large competition for the spoils. We are giving away massive wealth in this cohort to foreigners, allowing them to buy property in this country and drive up prices, or suck the wealth out of the country and buy up properties in their foreign lands. Has to end.

Very common belief on the far left and right. They don’t understand these jobs. They just know that these people earn more than them and that that is unfair.

Surely they could do just as well. It couldn’t possibly be true that these sorts of jobs require rare and specialized skills they don’t have

At T-mobile we are basically training chatgpt to survive customer rage calls. “My bill went up $4” now triggers a 12-paragraph empathy script and a free month of Hulu. Half our AI tokens go to apologizing for things we didn’t do, the other half to rebranding the same data plan for the tenth time. Honestly, the real model training is teaching AI how to say “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” without sounding like a sociopath. TC $23/hr

This is why cultural literacy matters. If enough passengers had read “Midnight on the Orient Express” this would have been handled right there in the air. Cc @epicciuto.bsky.social

It had to be done, but it’s been tough on her realizing that so many would cheat on an in-class, proctored exam just because they could

Marketing 101. Not “surge pricing”, but “off-peak discount”.

Similarly, “child deduction”, not “doesn’t have children fee”

Update: She made them install the Respondus Lockdown browser or take it on paper and the next exam average was back down to 75%, which is closer to her historical average

I’m actually a little surprised he wouldn’t bite that bullet?

Vance: "If you're an American citizen and you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed that wait times are especially large and very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Vance on it too:

Nationalism and populism: bsky.app/profile/atru...

I’ve seen this theme a few times from them about Americans unable to get care because the hospitals are taking care of illegal immigrants

Okay, but if we are sensationally good looking?
