As many of you know, I was detained by ICE for close to a year, missed out on my daughter’s birthday (again), and wasn’t able to take her to her first day of school, and was ultimately deported. I have just been informed T/Swi/ft had someone who runs an ICE facility at her wedding.

Everyone agrees that dogs have intelligence and personality, right? But when a dog gets away and hurts someone, it’s their owner’s responsibility. They can be fined or charged, and in the worst cases the dog is put down. So why treat chatbots/agents differently? The owners should be accountable.

Many think that AI is safe to use for simple tasks that require no 'research'. Here's an example. A black-and-white photo. AI was asked to colour it. What can go wrong, right?
A black-and-white family photo. A Christmas scene, the family gathered, all generations, next to the tree.A screenshot of the command. Ai was asked "recolour this image"

A similar point to mine. The phrase “intellectual failure” stands out to me because that’s a very succinct way to package up the feeling I got from the original post. That kind of framing, even if it’s subtle, only serves to promote “pro-AI” arguments because it agrees with a strawman assumption.

You don't need to convince me that voting the lesser evil is the logical choice for people to make. You need to understand that your logic has overwhelmingly lost elections. If your goal is to win elections, "we're not as good as the other guy" just doesn't cut it. It's imperative they do better.

The foot in the door
four frame comic. each frame has the text on top in white. first frame shows jk rowling. second frame shows trump and erdogan in suits doing thumbs up. third shows the istanbul landscape. fourth shows Talarico giving a speech in front of the podium. text reads:
"protecting the children"
has become the foot in the
door of fascism.
last weekend (sept. 12th-13th),
under the pretense of "protecting
the children," trump's turkish
bestie erdogan led a massive
anti-lgbtq crackdown.
in an extraordinary esca-
lation, legal proceedings were
announced against 160 people.
about 50 activists have been
arrested. associations and
homes have been ransacked
across the country.
so when we hear people who
are supposedly our allies use
the same language as erdogan,
we owe it to our turkish
siblings to call it out.

It is not a hard concept. Do the Dems believe married women should be able to vote? Well, how are they reacting to the fact that 4 of them voted to make that illegal? That'll let you know whether they are ok, as a party, with married women not being able to vote.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
