The consistent hallmark of this administration is appointing loyalists to powerful government positions who all happen to be terrible at every aspect of that job. This is why Fascism always ultimately collapses: loyalty over competence every time.

"Parenting hits different" when you outsource it and don't parent. Yeah, no shit. In twenty years his kids will hate him and he will ask AI why and it will tell him his children suck and not to accept responsibilty for the childhood he created where he was completely absent and disconnected.

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see
'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

It is likely true that AI in and of itself won't destroy humanity, but it's ability to dramatically destabilize society can, in fact, destroy us. In the near future, AI will wreck current cybersecurity infrastructure and passwords. That alone will wreak havoc on the markets and unleash bad actors-

This is particularly crazy when you see how many NFL venues are scheduled to host Kanye West, a guy who literally released a song about Hitler. Including two of the stadiums who threatened Sheeran! But he didn’t say anything good about Palestinians so it’s fine.

It changes the nature of humanity by making people far more stupid and at the same time, more confident in their stupidity. It makes people lazier, more addicted to their screens, and less creative. It turns wannabe artists into enthusiastic bums. It degrades the minds of all who engage with it.

There is a long history that suggest you're wrong: the entire history of 19th and early-20th century Russia, the US Civil War, Latin American revolutions, the Opium Wars. Sometimes the "economic tormenter" = government. Do you think revolution is always unjustified because murder is involved?

Pastor Carl Ruby, of Springfield's Central Christian Church, can state the issue more clearly than 98% of people working in politics today.
"I wish President Trump could hear the mom's wails. The

family wants people to know that this was a suicide and they

want people to know that President Trump, (Stephen) Miller, and Markwayne Mullin's inhumane immigration policies made this happen," Ruby wrote.

Black lawmakers regularly win competitive primaries and districts without the need for majority-Black voting populations. Rep. Neguse (CO) and Horsford (NV) are just two examples. Pretending otherwise only hurts Black voters and representation. The best candidates are competitive everywhere.

Mike Schur: The Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Is Existential for Writers
Let’s begin with a statement of fact: mega mergers in Hollywood are bad for writers. They’re also bad for actors and directors, for production designers and caterers, for carpenters and Teamsters and electricians and set decorators. They are bad for consumers, who get fewer choices in entertainment controlled by fewer bosses with narrower worldviews. Mergers are bad for local businesses, who lose paying customers from disappearing productions. They are bad for high level TV and film executives, and entry-level assistants, and everyone in between.

They literally campaigned on destroying families. They destroyed families during the first term. It's a shame this is happening to this woman, but this is what Republicans *literally* voted for. He voted for all undocumented people to be deported. Why did he think his family would be spared?
