They're called sexual predators for a reason. Men! Talk to your friends. Talk to your sons and brothers. Ask them if they understand consent. Hold accountable their sexism. Show some backbone. Stop being cowards. Stop protecting rapists and assailants and harassers among you. They're the bad guys.

It's not so much that we need to be afraid of AI itself, it's that we are afraid of what most *men* want to do with it -- to us.

I find it interesting that both of the baseball players Donald Trump has advocated for and/or honored this year – Roger Clemens and Pete Rose – were involved in the exploitation of girls who were no older than 15 at the time. What a weird coincidence.

All the J6ers are out. And their leader is in the White House because some suburbanites in Pennsylvania and Michigan were angry about inflation and Biden didn't have the stones to throw a crook in jail. And now he has a pedo-filled Gestapo that's allowed to murder people in the street. Yay

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

you would think the media would've wised up to the "trump claims to spend his own money on thing someone else is actually paying for" thing after he was like "no honestly i cant wait to release my tax returns any day now" in 2016 but they like him and want to help him

Hans-Georg Maaßen's panel in Israel is entitled "Why Elites Embrace Mass Migration as a Tool of Cultural, Racial, and Political Transformation,” which is a direct shout-out to the classically antisemitic Great Replacement conspiracy, which directly inspired the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

Just watched a high school kid driving an older Ford Expedition absolutely floor it on a street with a 25 mph speed limit. He had to be going 40+ mph. But he wasn't on an e-bike or e-moto so it's fine and normal.

It's frustrating because everything you need to understand Trump you can get from watching him for 5 minutes. It's all right there. The falsehoods are just an extremely predictable outgrowth of it. It's just that the media shies away from clearly stating *what kind of person he is*.

Sometimes the WAR ON WALKING results in no sidewalks at all. Sometimes they put “something” in — but does that really make things walkable for anyone except those without any other choices? The #WARonWALKING takes many forms, but it’s always about making things comfortable for vehicles, not people.
Image of a wide concrete overpass with a huge truck travelling dangerously close to a thin, uncomfortable looking concrete “sidewalk.” The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Tagline at the bottom says the Urban Truth Collective. #UrbanTruth #WarOnCars

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.
