I'm going to be getting very political until KOSA, SCREEN, EARN IT, Take It Down, and about 16 other bills enabling censorship and private data collection are dead and gone. Please unfollow for the time being if you do not support this.

Another post that shows why I struggle to identify satire this year. This is something I'd expect from the Parody Nigel Farage account or similar. "I insisted that unverified claims were the truth" is not a stance worth defending.

This is the first year I've seen Indigenous Peoples Day marked on a store-bought calendar. Seems like it'll be a bureaucratic mess to replace Columbus Day, especially with the current racist administration, but it'll be worth it in my opinion. Yes, I give a shit about the day and the people.

Reminds me of when Iran hit some Israeli data centers and most of the scam bots (namely the ones triggered by the word "commission") went away for about a week. Hopefully these bot farms take longer to recover. Or just don't recover, that'd be nice.

You can't embarrass someone who doesn't acknowledge any part of reality that shows they are wrong, at fault, etc. With his decaying mental faculties, I doubt he has the capacity to feel embarrassed even if he wasn't sick in the head before going senile.

Still unlikely to accomplish anything, but at least "Uhhmerican" is the funny kind of stupid. Made me laugh, unlike "USian" or whatever that's just too forced to have a place. Canada, Mexico, and most of South America will probably shoot this down even harder than U.S. citizens, regardless.

They do so love their double-standards, contradictions, and making rules they insist shouldn't apply to themselves. Them boxing themselves into such stupid paradoxes would be funny if they didn't also make great efforts to make it everyone else's problem.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

He could choose to be (partially) redeemed at any given time. He has the power to do that by and for himself. But that would involve helping millions of people who rightfully hate and shun him for the damage he's willfully done. The worst hoarder alive can't even keep a gold digger around.

The hatred men have for women in this country is out of this world. And everyone sees it but them. Smh. Absurd. These tools aren’t lonely enough.

Aren't these such historic times we live in? The previous generations ensure that we're priced out of gainful participation in society, then get offended at our minimal participation in society. Anyway, I wish you luck out there. We're all gonna need it.

Any word on how much of that is tilted by otherwise progressive voters just not caring about immigration policies? I'm sure most media that crosses my feeds is heavily biased, but it really does feel like immigration is a low-priority topic for a large portion of people who aren't actively racist.

The cycle repeats. Jokes aside, there's plenty of room for both. As well as room for filmed movies and shows. A broad palate is a blessing one can bestow upon themselves with a bit of care and attention.

Do not confuse the Protagonist for the (Anti)Hero. The main character is assumed to be the focus of the story, not the hero of the story or any form of "good guy." Which reminds me that I still need to reacquire an offline way to rewatch all of Leverage.

This is not the first nor the last time children have been targeted by something that cannot be sold honestly to anyone that could be considered legally responsible for themselves. If you ever wondered why drug dealers target kids, look at what Meta and other AI peddlers are doing.

Given how things have been run lately, I feel it should be considered that DOGE did exactly what it was trying to do. Less a failure, more a hostile entity.

Gotta love the capitalization of "Ally for Women" and "Women" again as though he (it? Kinda writes like a bot) was referencing an organization of some kind. I hope you get a chuckle out of these hollerin' dogs telling on themselves.

Is that AI-generated or is that nasty yellow shade intentional? Using generative AI for this is beyond tone-deaf.

Anyone else's feeds just straight up not working? "Following" still works, but now both the others I bother with just don't work. It went down for short periods yesterday, but not this long.

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

However we react, it likely won't be intense enough or sustained enough to be worth more than a footnote in next decade's history books. I'll be relieved if I'm wrong about that.

Such "reports" always sound hypothetical or like outright fantasies, but it's still a nice thought. Maybe something that more folks could use as inspiration.

Not sure if speech-to-text, written by AI, or directly applied stupidity. Regardless, the result and reaction is the same. A "third party" candidate that exists to reinforce one of the two relevant parties she claimed to be apart from.

It gets in the way of anything even remotely useful. There's always more, too. Possibly the most obvious drawback to making engagement profitable is spam like that, accomplishing nothing but making the bot's manager a few cents per day.

Now, instead of trying to keep their current people healthier and thus more likely to live, Republicans are focused on an attempt to force women to birth more children... which instead leads to more dead women and children. They'll do anything except treat people better.

With everything those Far Right types have been allowed to get away with already, there's a real chance that plea will still work out in his favor. The process will be very telling, whatever the verdict ends up being.

They want their cheap, mistreated labor, but they probably don't want "others" to stop being deported, trafficked, killed, and put in concentration camps. I'm sure the ones I've seen were cherry picked, but there are at least some that want people to suffer while, somehow, keeping their own laborers

I wonder just how many years they're going to put on the show instead of arresting or otherwise actually hindering Netanyahu. This reminds me of those protesters that broke open the gates of an ICE facility and awkwardly walked away.

Even with generative AI specifically designed to distort reality on demand, reality still manages to be more ridiculous and depressing than the fabrications. I hope many people take the opportunity to rub his nose in this.
