The issue with AI altering old movies that really sticks in my craw (beyond the obvious) is people chirping that they are just doing what the original filmmaker/creatives would have wanted. I hate hate hate people digging up the corpse of a beloved artist and playing TCM Weekend at Bernies

Genuinely surreal watching public figures who enabled the genocide in Gaza suddenly go “oh wow this seems bad, someone should do something about this” after a year and a half.

I’ve been unable to work since May 10th, due to Covid, & it’s lingering fatigue. I’m getting super low on funds & really need help. I know that many of us are having a rough go, but if any of y’all could spare anything, me & my cats would be so grateful. Venmo- @ Mercury_Troy CashApp- $MercuryTroy8

“There is a sense that the effective dates are pushed out quite a bit, but that’s actually not true. There are a variety of cuts that take effect immediately,” said Edwin Park, research professor at Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy.

Even if an effective date is months or years from now, Park added, states and providers would never “wait till the last minute to make cuts, they start making cuts now in anticipation of future revenue shortfalls, future increases of uncompensated care and lower payment rates.”

That would nullify the GOP boast that they designed their budget package to minimize near-term pain. “At a big-picture level, just because a particular cut that may affect a state or a provider doesn’t have an effective date until 2028, they may make cuts in advance,” Park said.

FIVE CONSEQUENTIAL PROVISIONS OF THE SPENDING BILL took immediate effect when President Trump signed the mega-bill into law July 4, four of which account for more than $340 billion in slashed funding over the next decade, according to the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Btw, even when the scary article ends up being true, and woof, too many of them have been, sometimes I find this actually helps calm my nervous system down a little. Because you have to take a breath, read, and think more.

Because they’re being continually reinfected with COVID. It’s not rocket science. This would be more obvious if not for the overwhelming denial in society—as well as minimizing propaganda and potentially, cognitive damage from infections, which may make it more difficult to accurately assess risk.

Sharing this for no special reason: In July 1933, a New York Times reporter toured Dachau and saw the entire camp "except possibly the disciplinary cells." According to the reporter, "it was an almost idyllic picture of a rest camp," though the inmates were "gloomy" (h/t @monospace.com)

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

if you’re wondering about the gop plan to deal with the electoral fall out of passing a massively unpopular bill, it’s “even if we lose the midterms we will retain control of the courts, the presidency, and now, thanks to this bill, a massive federal police state”

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

without ranked choice voting, these campaigns would be at each other's throats, instead they're practically running as a ticket. which is excellent for democracy and coalition building and also why i imagine the ny dems will try to kill rcv at some point in the next few years

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.
