Oppression unpunished becomes the norm. If we wait for those in power to find a line their conscience cannot bear, it will be a line far on the horizon with nothing but unmarked graves the whole way there. They will not stop until they're made to stop.

"But that was ice, they disobeyed an executive order!" And Biden refused to deal with that. The head of ICE was a recess appointment. Literally all Biden had to do was nominate a new one After campaigning on "no kids in cages!" He fucked the fight and allows a rogue agency to continue operating

The powers that run America these days come down to: a) "Our industry sets up disasters, then you pay us to not have the disaster be as bad as it could be. Some people call this ransom." b) "We hate those people and yes you can put a bomb in every city Mr. Bane as long you blow up those (slurs)"🙃

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

The funny thing about our country basically only having laws enforced when police care or lawsuits is that you put "allegedly" on things that visibly plain and well documented.

Folks (on fb) seem really confused by my claim of bullying. Seems really clear to me, but Niki graciously provided a summary with great context.
I also wanna add the context that when Old Navy launched their “Bod Equality” campaign, where they said they would be selling all sizes in the store, they included Samyra in the rollout and invited her to their events surrounding this new initiative.

When they walked back this campaign and stopped selling some of the sizes above 3X and the sizes below Small in store, Samyra called them out with a “Yikes that’s messed up” message. Nothing outside the ordinary from what the rest of us do when we criticize a brand. 

Additionally, she called out Cardi B when she went on her fat phobic rant about people buying up all her 3X T-shirts when her album launched.  They have since had beef via the Internet. So fast forward several months, Old Navy strikes a collaboration with Cardi B to hawk their new denim line. So them bullying her in the comments feels very much like dogpiling. 

Sorry this was so long, it’s just all very yucky.

I think about how in the last year people got hit with malware from an app for animated wallpaper anime waifus. Or how Pokemon Go was data collection for drone targeting. They've found emotional engineering to bypass suspicion and guarding practices is the easiest way to fuck people over.

However, it looks like they're using AI to inflate prices at local levels. I'm curious if it is "AI" in any of the LLM/Machine Learning sense or if it's just "price go up until sales go down" simple automation, maybe weighted by cell phone tracking tied to income. www.engadget.com/2272211/mcdo...

One family, after the capture of a loved one, found out about it from activists and took steps to move other loved ones to non-287(g) jurisdictions. Another family still had no idea about why their loved one was captured until I told them about this and took steps to protect others that day.

Talking recently to family members of people snatched up and expelled to third countries by ICE, I learned: 1) All of those captured were in 287(g) jurisdictions; 2) None of the family members had known what 287(g) was and had erroneously thought people with no arrests were safe.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Canada: A new report calls Alberta’s response to the Cargill plant COVID outbreak a “catastrophic failure” that put industry over workers. More than 950 workers were infected in spring 2020, 18 were hospitalised and 2 died. Source: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... Archive: archive.li/0H4bd
A news article screenshot from The Globe and Mail with the headline: "Alberta’s response to COVID-19 outbreak at Cargill plant was ‘catastrophic failure,’ report says." The article is written by health reporter Alanna Smith.
Below the headline is a photograph showing a woman in a black jacket, hat, and face mask kneeling on a grassy lawn next to a tree. She is wearing blue gloves and placing a photo of a woman at a makeshift memorial. A large white banner tied to the tree features a prominent red heart containing the name "Bui Thi Hiep" written in black. Smaller orange hearts decorate the bottom of the banner, next to bouquets of flowers on the ground.
The image caption reads: "A woman places a photo of Cargill worker Bui Thi Hiep at a makeshift memorial in Calgary on May 4, 2020."
