Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Were a person to help the Houthis build a weapon to use against US/allies, they’d be prosecuted (same true if a person were hacking US companies…). At some point, AI developers need to be held accountable just the same, it’s one way to force building responsibility into the system.

Key stats here seem like they’ll be fashioned as propaganda by landlords from a reputable outlet when they’re plainly unhelpful (and something of a fluke data point) to anyone paying for housing and worried about their pay. 47% share of income going to home payment by Manhattanites is a socioec fail

The train is never late. When defending their fellow trash ass men, they love to pretend that they don’t know the difference between the standard that exists in a court of law and societal consequences. Plenty (if not most) guilty people never see a courtroom, doesn’t mean they should be in office.🙄

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
