“What can we do to fight #ICE…??”
Talk to your best friends husband who is an ICE agent. Be in their face asking questions. Blow up your cousins phone who is a police officer and be asking questions and Let them know where you stand in this issue.
Shame is a tool. F*cking use it. Right now talk to

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!"
Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

Which makes it all the more gutting that humanities fields and departments are constantly the ones on the chopping block. And are even more risk now because of university-AI partnerships at universities.

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

When I argue that this AI doomsday stuff is marketing hype, I mostly get ignored and I think I know why: people don't understand why "our product will destroy humanity" is an advertising pitch for the product.

What might an AI doomsday look like? Experts have given it some thought
Researchers have worried about the increasing power of AI systems for years, but an explosion of interest has ignited old controversies about exactly how AI will cause chaos.

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

This is why I’ve been saying for years games need a “so you took a break and forgot how to play” tutorial option on the main menu.
My wife saved over my Ghost of Yotei file so I asked her to 100% it & grind all the collectibles so I could do NG+.
She almost did & got to the end but an optional boss made her quit & she hasn’t touched it since January & now the game is too hard for both of us to complete bc we forgot how to play

A Trump administration report on noncitizen voting amounts to a clear admission that there weren't enough such votes to swing the 2020 election (via Bloomberg Opinion)
Noncitizens Don’t Sway Elections, Even in a Pro-Trump Tally
Last month, the Census Bureau published a strange little document claiming that “over 24,000” votes were cast by noncitizens in the 2020 US general election. The anonymous report has come under fire for its provenance and methods: It was reportedly produced outside of regular Census Bureau channels by political appointees and staffers at a think tank with close ties to President Donald Trump, using an approach that, according to one former high-level bureau official, was likely to turn up far mo

Disturbing, offensive, but perhaps fitting that Carney is seeking (much like far-right groups!) to rehab Sir John A’s reputation into that of a Great Uniter, rather than someone who engaged in horrific crimes against Indigenous people and Chinese immigrants (in part to build this project!)
