“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?

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

If, as seems to be the majority view here, you dislike the prospect of a world where human journalism and analysis is displaced by AI slop, have the self-awareness not to act annoyed and offended that the human labor of writing sometimes requires compensation.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

We are told to endlessly save so that when we retire and move towards the disabilities that come with age, we will be able to pay for the right to continue existing without pain. Denying a ramp to someone with a mobility issue = pain and exhaustion of having to walk until they find a ramp.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.

A digitially drawn and rather disrespectful parody of the risible, kitschy but still weirdly famous painting by Archibald Willard called 'Spirit of '76'. In this version, as in the original, three figures are marching across uneven ground with smoke and haze rising in the background as if in the aftermath of a military action. Our three subjects, who are all skeletons btw, are marching in line. On the right wearing a blue 18th century military jacket with goldish trim, the shredded remains of kneepants, and with a bloodied bandage around his bare cranium is a skeleton playing a humerus like it's a fife. To his right is another skeleton this one wearing a kind of vest and a tattered white shirt (no pants!) and whispy remnants of white hair cling to his skull. He has three human skulls hung by a strap around his neck and sitting waist level that he's playing with more arm bones for drum sticks. And to his right is the skeleton of a youn boy in another blue military uniform with a tricorner hat. He has an actual drum but again he is playing it with bones and also the left side of his face, head and shoulder are quite on fire as looks a bit pleadingly to the older skeleton next to him. Rising behind the marchers through the smoke an tumult is the kind of American flag with a ring of 13 stars in the blue field, and two of the red stripes have been modified into rough lettering that reads 'Maybe it will happen today'. A corner of that flag might be a little on fire too.
