In English, something that makes sense is called "germane" while something that doesn't is called "all greek". This is due to the anglophone media's bias towards Germany during the euro crisis of the early 2010s

Everyone on here needs to stop laughing about how "adopting pets from a shelter is for losers" and "those animals should all be hunted for sport instead" It's reprehensible on many levels! First of all, 1/20

Meanwhile, I'll remind folks that everyone cheering on New Mexico's big lawsuit win against Meta... that one of the remedies NM's AG is seeking is stopping Meta from offering encrypted messaging. Indeed, some of the "evidence" against Meta was literally "they offer encryption."

Justice Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench. It reads in part: "Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong."

Every other thing on that list has serious problems too, but the inclusion of a "real names" mandate in any list like this proves the speaker a) knows nothing about the actual science of online behavior b) is more motivated by punishing Bad People than stopping online abuse

The Anthropic export ban is brought to you by the same people responsible for the TikTok import ban, the U.S. government Anthropic use ban, and dialing pre-release review of A.I. models from 60 days down to 30. There is no coherent underlying theory of AI regulation.

Lol. Hey AI checkers, you're not taking my freaking —'s away. Before AI existed I had set up keyboard combinations to make them, because that's how I write. So this is why they say it's 100% AI. Because 6 emdashes, 1 triad, and 1 ai phrase ("relentless"). Fucking hell.
All Evidence

Em dash 6 found. Overuse of emdahes where human writers tyically would not.

Triads. 1 found. Grouping ideas in threes, a common AI rhetorical pattern.

AI phrases. 1 found. Word patterns that appear far more often in AI generated text

The challenger, Daniel Chung, is much more conservative than Rosen, which is why he keeps running against Rosen: "Chung... continues to oppose the landmark measure Prop 47, which downgraded a number of crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, and supported a major rollback in 2024."
