It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

"Guilt and pleasure should only go together when your pleasure hurts others, which reading romance novels doesn’t. It never hurt anyone to read a story about love." I stopped referring to reading all my beloved smut as a guilty pleasure recently because of this. What's to feel guilty about?

I have this “friend” who clearly despises me but won’t let the friendship die. He called me last night and during the conversation said that some guy I liked might not be into because I’m trans. Like???? You don’t think I haven’t considered? He’s always trying to plant seeds of doubt

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people. It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people. Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.
