look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

You're not making pragmatic calculations, you're not bargaining or impeding fascism in any way, shape, or form, you are a gullible mark at best, or hate your fellow human beings so much you're engaging in willful collusion with fascism as long as it hurts them no matter how many others are harmed.

I'm tech literate and also incredibly lazy. I've looked into AI but have never found any professional or personal applications. In the few areas it seemed possible it ended up too expensive for minimal time savings or just didn't work due to hard limitations.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Giving a small, well-organized minority of people a heckler's veto over new housing that follows democratically-enacted zoning laws is not "democracy."

It's good for people to abandon movements when they realize what they've been (some amount of willfully) ignoring or dismissing this whole time is in fact real. No more media career, though. No more notoriety. Like a pilot that forgets to put down the landing gear. Sorry bud, you don't have it.

I'm enjoying the rage people have over lack of a shared musical bubble. I've never heard of the song outside of the "discourse" about it. I'm sure people who love that song have never heard of my favourites either. Tons of people don't ever listen to the damn radio, we're in the streaming era!

My coworker has an immune condition and needs some brand new borderline experimental drug for it. It would cost her about 30k a year for it in the US. Here in Canada between the government and our work plan it's 100% covered.

Today was the third day in a row I came within a yard of a car hitting me while I was walking in a crosswalk, and today was way too close. I realize we have some drivers out there, but I think we need to ban cars until we can figure out what's going on.

The police are literally by every measure just criminal gangs who terrorize society and are almost entirely above any sort of legal repercussions. And every year they get budgets approved to steal more of our taxes.

I love reading reviews of various Paradox games and DLC. It's all people with hundreds of hours writing paragraphs correctly identifying what garbage the products are and how awful the company is, then buying every piece of DLC and also leaving bad reviews. Gosh I wonder why PDX never changes.

One of the reasons I think this went viral even in queer circles is because everyone has seen this dynamic play out in some form in our spaces. We need a better way to root out toxic people utilizing the language of liberation in narcissistic and sociopathic ways to dominate spaces.

Berlin is cooked. They've embraced left-nimbyism for a while now and the worse it's made their housing situation the more insane they've gone with it. It's clearly because they didn't block ENOUGH housing.

As someone in the US and not subject to the UK's "any speech left of Oswald Mosley might be terrorism, so watch it guvna" laws, i feel confident in saying that it would be legally and morally justified if security forces shot every single far-right fascist in the Channel trying to commit murder.
