This is outrageous, despotic shit and everyone who played a role in it should lose their place in polite society. Show us the warrant. Who asked for it? What did they claim? Have there been grand jury proceedings? Who was in charge? And what judge, if any, signed off on the search warrant?

Also interesting, but there's a catch: the ICE guy got arrested only because he had the bad luck of assaulting a woman whose boyfriend is a cop

Panel 2: Narration: - I can feel it in my stomach like a big hot rock.

Panel 3: Narration: I remember that I am an animal surviving day by day in the cold and the dark.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc
Headline from one of Brazil's biggest newspapers that reads: 
Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) warns the government and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) about the 'critical' level of escalating US pressure against Brazil in the elections.

Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.
Teens will face several limitations:
- Blocked access to NSFW channels and servers
- Sensitive media automatically blurred in chats and direct messages
- Mandatory message requests for incoming texts
- Restricted speaking access in Stage Channels
To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe
- Official ID through k-ID
- Selfie
- Google Wallet
