This is where we are: a tech billionaire who, as an undergrad writing in the Stanford Review, "blasted a student movement to raise custodians' pay, warning it 'destroys incentive for them to improve themselves,'" is now a chief architect of a homelessness policy built around punishment and coercion.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, l'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since | first became literate.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.

First responders, residents and environmental groups say military dropping flares to destroy forests and crops Firefighters and residents of south Lebanon have accused the Israeli military of lighting wildfires in the region, as forested areas burned down in blazes sparked by Israeli bombing. Environmental groups said the fires in recent weeks were part of a longstanding Israeli practice of targeting Lebanon’s natural environment. Continue reading...

I'm not confident that anyone will get the Blade reference so I feel the need to explain the joke: It's from a tumblr meme…
tumblr meme by @gar-trek explaining why SNW Spock is in fact not Spock but a different character named Blade. 

Text reads:

why you should support blade

1. He doesnt even look like someone named spock he looks like his name shoudl be blade
2. Blade gets mad pussy and has an awesome girlfriends and like everyone wants to fuck him and its awesome
3. Blade is fucking bad as cool calm collected. nothing shakes this man. he would never cry like a little bitch


Spock vs. Blade

Spock:

- gets no bitches, afraid of women
-Got horny literally one time and freaked out so hard he almost killed someone
-hairy chest, lame haircut, deep sunken eyes
-works hard to suppress his emotions, never laughs
- Catchphrases: "illogical", "live long and prosper"

Blade:

-gets mad pussy, multiple girls want him
-Fucks like a mountain rat, loves sex with his beautiful girlfriend
-smooth chad chest, hair looks like it was cut with a BLADE (TM), round eyes
-cool and collected, will show emotion if he wants
- Catchphrases: "I GET BLADE" (wordplay on "i get laid") "My name is BLADE you mother fucking son of a bitch"

3000 (roughly, rounded) died on 9/11 compared to 1.2 million Americans (rounded again) from COVID – the former is 0.25% of the latter. We have a national day of mourning each year for the former while half this country wants to hang the Dr in charge of the latter for going too far to prevent deaths
