This bullshit with Cornell is once again not surprising but still shocking. Shit like this constantly happening is why I knew in my gut that nothing would ever be done about the Epstein files.

NY Times: "Israel Has Taken Over More of Gaza Despite the Cease-Fire. The Israeli military has built new outposts and slowly encroached beyond the withdrawal line in Gaza." Life is hell for the displaced Gazans. They rely on our donations to survive. Please give to my dear friend. And to others. 🙏

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

But also it is extremely different. We have had data centers for regular servers for decades and they have never had the environmental impact that AI data centers do, taking up water, heating the surrounding area and driving off wildlife that is essential to the ecosystem. It is markedly different.

I like seeing Europeans doing the dialect quiz and being like "guess I sound like X region" without realizing how many immigrants from their home country settled in that area and helped shape the current dialect.

A reminder that viewership metrics do matter and watching THAT show makes it possible for it to keep being renewed for more seasons. Supporting someone in any way who uses that money to actively hurt others is wrong. Entertain yourself some other way or accept that you have no moral compass.
