HORRIFIED Judge rules that privately owning AI-generated child sexual abuse material is protected by the 1st Amendment WTF 1) This normalises child sexual abuse 2) This feeds the depravity - where do you think that leads? 3) WHAT do they think these AI models are trained on?

The BBC cancelling Winterwatch is such a shame, especially when we need to be connecting with nature more than ever. If we want people to protect our wildlife, we have to show them it! Add your name to ask the BBC to reconsider. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...

The UK is losing its wildlife, and shows like Winterwatch are vital for connecting us to nature. The BBC's decision to cancel it makes no sense. Let's ask them to rethink this! Add your name here:

I'm only part way through and I feel like I could quote every line. I particularly appreciate you pointing out the 1976 timeframe as important to where we are now. I graduated HS in 1974. I remember writing a college paper on how financially things were changing.
And yet it is worth pausing here to note that not every member of the Predator Class is a conscious predator. As I discussed in my Epsteinland series,? the neuroscience of wealth and power is relevant: research shows that power literally suppresses empathy circuits, and that extreme inherited wealth conditions people from birth to see themselves as the heroes of their own story rather than as beneficiaries of a rigged system.

Made for schools and families, the animation introduces secularism in clear terms as a practical way of organising society that people with different worldviews can share.
