factcheck: a court of law has ruled that Nick Kristof is not an Oregonian.

"As an Oregonian who lives outside Portland, I can testify that the city has heavenly qualities, with a setting that is divine and food catered by angels, but in fairness, it also has significant problems."

They want slaves. Simple as that. Ownership over other human beings or sentient beings or any beings who have agency that these techbros can strip from them...that's what they want.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

Guys… a decade ago a community (🤚🏿) was intentional about the deep militarization of the American police against its own citizens

'Very difficult situation': Kristi Noem whines locals not letting ICE agents use restrooms Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem complained that her agents were not being permitted to use restrooms in Chicago because of opposition from residents.During a Sunday interview on ...

Wow, it must be terrible being told that you can’t use the bathroom.

Good evening. "Jerry Chen" was a 27-month sociological experiment studying Poster's Madness conducted by Quinnipiac University. We are now complete with our study; thank you for your time.

Singular failure of imagination. Why can't our technologists be better humans.

Staten Island’s Albanian Muslim community has always been a force for entrepreneurship and service.

I’m grateful I got to meet with local leaders about how my administration plans to support small businesses and give every community a real seat at the table.

So so good

Yeah, you're happily doomed.

They've been having NFL games in HOW many international cities? Including Sao Paolo and Madrid?

One of the best recipes I've ever had was Too Many Mushrooms, where the broth in the risotto was replaced by prosecco and the cheese was gorgonzola and I will never forget it.

I remind the fash that the “first amendment zone“ is the entirety of the 50 United States and their territories.

I think about this ALL THE TIME. It was a repressive regime.

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Living Colour – Cult of Personality

One of the best things about Kimmel being in Brooklyn this week has been him showing people the culture that was fighting abuse under Reagan, still ready to inspire another generation — like @livingcolour.com doing Cult of Personality youtu.be/MfY7jG-3rlE (what’s good @vurnt22.bsky.social!)

Look, it's the government shutdown, right there! Look what the Dems made them do!

Largest Liberian community outside of Liberia; largest Sri Lankan community outside of Sri Lanka. Incredible parks and wildlife, incredible restaurants (Michelin! guide.michelin.com/us/en/new-yo...). I'm so glad he's pointing out the good things that make this place special in a lot of ways.

These are aspects of Staten Island that so many people miss, and kudos to Mamdani for pointing them out and highlighting them. It's not a monolith of red-hatted idiots - the North Shore is diverse in every way imaginable.

No educational requirements either. And there is at least one case of someone negotiating early release from prison to serve with ICE.

There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

I did my undergrad thesis on the European witchcraze, and a key motivator in accusations and arrests was to seize the property of the accused

Stoking the moral panic to continue the arrests was very profitable for those in positions of authority.

I say this for no reason …

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

I just don't understand aggressive people at the door. You want me to answer the door after you've rung the bell a thousand times before I can even get up off my chair, and then you start banging on the door and yelling? What the FUCK makes you think I'm going to respond to that?

I think the Prime Directive is a useful guide in situations like these

Not. Nearly. Enough.

Oooooh, I thought that was the relative. The police guy. Oh, well.

Explains why the victims' parents made a point of saying he's sane and medicated. Getting out in front of an insanity plea.

Dear fucking god.

We're gonna need a bigger pill organizer

His relative, the police chief, is. The kid is a Tate guy. Of course.

Been reading about that, holy shit
