One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Lucien Lazare, Jewish fighter in the French Resistance, has died at 101. After fighting the Nazis, he was rejected by his synagogue later in life for translating an article saying “Israel, today, is nothing but a formless mass of corruption, oppression and injustice.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/w...

He and a small troop of French Jews worked with the Allies to distribute supplies and fight the Nazis, ambushing a German train and liberating a city in the south.

Saw the documentary NAZA, made in secret, with interviews of members of Israel’s intelligence services testifying and showing how they created a system to perpetrate genocide in Gaza.

What (some) people think it means to be neutral about human rights: “I’m being moral by rising above it and refusing to take sides.” What being neutral about human rights actually means: “I can’t be bothered to deal it because it doesn’t affect me personally.”

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be “It’s simple math, vote blue no matter who, grow up” and ALSO believe you are fighting fascism by making calculations as to who’s expendable. The world we’re in now demands more from us. More from everyone.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

Some folks will claim that this is hyperbolic, but what I wish people would understand is that tech initiatives like this serve as a means of eroding consent and lower the barrier for the persistent capture of people’s image, voice, data, or whatever else a gadget can glean.

Beneficent [ben-IF-iss-ent] (adj.) - Doing or producing good; performing acts of kindness and charity; characterized by beneficence. Used in a sentence: “Few stars have been so beneficent as Dolly, transforming a lifetime of legendary success into a legacy of gentle munificence.”
A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme for “Beneficent,” defined as “Doing or producing good; performing acts of kindness and charity; characterized by beneficence.” At right is a black-and-white portrait of Dolly Parton. Beneath the definition, the example reads: “Few stars have been so beneficent as Dolly, transforming a lifetime of legendary success into a legacy of gentle munificence.”

95 percent of the time the answer "WE ALREADY DID" is the final answer. Sadly people will still push back, declaring that if it isn't on their feed, then the news org didn't work hard enough to get the word out. Because it's our fault they're lazy and the algorithm sucks.
