When I checked this week, my registration was gone. Durham County, NC voter in good standing for many years, and I was no longer a registered voter.

Meanwhile, American law appears to be the acceptable destruction of memorials and prosecuting and killing of citizens who've done nothing wrong. 🤔

Sh*t is right. I'm willing to bet that never happened. It's just a made-up Republican story to justify their horrible policies.

AI is designed to "do", not whether it "should do". From Google: "an AI model cannot inherently assess whether its decisions are detrimental to humans or Earth’s ecosystems. It merely optimizes for mathematically defined mathematical patterns, targets, or functions given by its human programmers.

I understand data centers are necessary for important work like science, medicine, and defense but how many do we really need if we ignore Meta, X, Snapchat, pet photos, and making nonconsensual nudes?

Private equity doesn’t create or develop. It leverages purchases, assigns loans to the purchasee, and cuts, cuts, cuts to maximize the profits it takes from the purchasee. I don't think she knows the M.O. of private equity.
