if Trump posts a trans slur on Truth Social which is aimed at you, and you say anything other than "can you guys fucking believe the President of the United States is out here posting trans slurs on Truth Social, fuck him into the sun for all eternity," you have failed the most basic of all tests

Is she TRYING to lose the election then? She could have just kept quiet about trans people but no, she's all in on throwing them under the bus.

Authors had copyrights for their books but it didn’t stop AI companies from stealing them. Why would they stop there?

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

BREAKING: Amazon warehouse workers in Rock Tavern just walked off the job after months of management ignoring safety complaints about dangerous conveyor speeds. Operators have repeatedly reported safety hazards just to be written up for loss in productivity. Are you kidding me?!

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?
