"distraction" is just another way of saying "I agree with Trump on this issue"

Yip! Experimental dice tray engravings! Just ran these as a test on black/gold and black/silver leatherette. Kobold looking forward to having @fleeks.art modify and create a few designs for these and making them for sale soon!

I’m quoting this because it is a very fair point for which I have an answer: The first thing is to recognize that in a democracy there is no such thing as β€œ the majority.” Instead, there are many and multiple overlapping majorities that can be assembled from different parts of the whole.

sentiment analysis has been around longer than the current wave of "AI" stuff and for as long as i have been paying attention to it (about 10 years) it has been a tool to offload the tone policing of marginalized people onto an algorithm to absolve humans of that responsibility

yeah, but doing it to the national archives website would make it easier to limit the number of people who know what's going on

of course this presumes a lot more competence than the admin has demonstrated, hence the "50/50 at best"

no argument here

normally i'd go "okay sure whatever" on the grounds that redacting it on just one website that isn't even an executive branch one would be the dumbest possible way to do it, but this is the trump admin so that just reduces it to like a 50/50 chance at best

Constitution Sections on Due Process and Foreign Gifts Just Vanished from Congress' Website Part of Article I Section 8, and all of Sections 9 and 10, which address things like habeas corpus, nobility, and militias, are gone from Congress's website for the Constitution.

there's a full explanation from them in here www.404media.co/constitution...

the claim is that someone fucked up an XML tag in what I assume is the CMS

It honestly keeps reshocking me that the bloke who had a row with the Holocaust museum about his dogshit Holocaust book, the bloke who went TERF after being criticised for writing a similarly awful novel about trans kids, and the bloke who plagiarised Zelda by mistake, are all the same bloke.

I think the "ttrpgs are too expensive now" crowd are wrong to point their finger at ttrpgs, as we can see in the quote, but I think it is fair to say "I'm struggling to afford things as a worker" because the difference in cost of living has nuked a lot of folks' discretionary spending budgets.

I think a lot of ai perverts just think humans are essentially well-programmed robots, which is a genuinely bleak outlook. They think they're doing the "is Data alive" episode of Star Trek when they're really saying humans are just a Juicero with more RAM.

PANEL 1: A mom, dad, and daughter are driving in a car. MOM: "Rita says the school is closed indefinitely and another chunk of the moon just wiped out the Dakotas... Thousands more will start hitting us soon, like Space Hail."
PANEL 2: DAUGHTER: "Since the world's ending anyway--maybe I could watch an R-rated movie tonight?"
PANEL 3: DAD: "Nice try, but we need you to die with 'chaste eyes and imaginings."
PANEL 4: MOM (to daughter): "He just wants to make sure you'll go to Heaven to establish a beachhead for our family--we'll need you to petition God for our release from Hell."
PANEL 5: DAD: "Kiddo, your mother and I have soiled minds that have conjured all manner of erotic fantasias. We are bound only for the pit."

CAN CONFIRM. Riot's mods are immediately nuking any mention of mastercard, and giving lengthy chat timeouts for otherwise innocuous comments.

unsure how effective comments will be w/o absolutely massive numbers, but its EXTREMELY telling that mastercard feels they have to resort to this.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.
