The Trump administration wanted NYC to explicitly turn away trans veterans from a shelter so NYC was forced to turn down funding for it because it would violate city and state law. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

NYC turns down $1.3 million for homeless shelter due to dispute over transgender veterans

The city says the federal government would have required them to exclude transgender veterans from seeking shelter beds at the Borden Avenue Veterans' Residence.

i think this is true, the oligarchs are aware of this, and its why there's so much interest from in both exerting top-down control of LLMs and bottom-up corruption of them (by filling the internet - and therefore their training data - with fake propaganda)

It's fascinating to learn how many more kids die in ATV accidents every year than in e-bike accidents, then observing that there is a moral panic about kids riding e-bikes but not about kids riding ATVs.

If Democrats think winning back congress this year and the presidency in 2028 is enough, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right back where we're at in 2032 with an even more fascist and white supremacist Republican party. It's not enough to win power.

Just taking the opportunity to say huge swathes of the British bourgeoisie (and aristocracy in fact) continued to make a fortune off the plantation system and the fruits of slave labour for many decades after "abolition" while also financing slavery in Brazil and many colonies.

Also, the idea that any of us are ignorant of what the bigots are thinking is deeply naive. They won’t shut up about it. This cloud cuckoo lander is failing to understand that we’ve considered their opinions and ideas already, and dismissed them.

To expand on this: Bigotry isn't a result of an innocent misunderstanding, or not having all the facts. It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that.

All these jokes about how it's hard to operationalize good values are gonna be really funny when the T-1000s start rolling out. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/specify PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

Part 1/2 of a 5-panel SMBC comic update. A man praying at his bedside asks "God, why is it possible to be a good person, but impossible to simply specify ethical rules that always result in good behavior?" God replies "because ethics is like ALMOST EVERY OTHER PROBLEM."

Part 2/2 of a 5-panel SMBC comic update. God continues to explain as the looks gradually surprised and annoyed: "try to perfectly specify language-use with a simple rule set. Or boardgame strategy. Or driving a car. Or eating soup. Humans can hold about seven things in working memory at a time, and so have decided that anything requiring eight things is poorly specified! WooOOOoooo a talking ape can’t reduce something to an evolutionary arbitrary quantity of criteriaaaaa. Soooooooo mysteriouuuuus." The man then says "you’re being mean, God." God taunts him in return "are you SURE? Can you specify meanness? WOOOOooooo OOoooooo!"

What's great about this is - Yes. Germany was in fact a source of great scientific knowledge in the end of the 19th century. If you wanted to do science, you learned German. And then the Nazis destroyed the German scientific establishment. Because that's what Nazis do.
