Me: ...draw a line separating you from me. I have as much Irish heritage as you. I too am part Irish. One of my parents was White, but societally I have no right to Whiteness. Despite my blood relation and family history, I do not have the right to be "part White." THAT is why we don't celebrate it.

I could be wrong but pointing out that Republicans are, in fact, Nazis, and then explaining in detail why they are Nazis, might be an effective line of attack!

Interesting that they’ve learned that people will react positively to socialism if it is defined correctly so they’ve had to stop doing that.

Het is vijf over twaalf. Flying Blue beloont veelvliegen met nóg meer vluchten, terwijl de klimaatcrisis steeds verder escaleert. Op Schiphol sloegen onze rebellen alarm. Bekijk de aftermovie. KLM, stop met het aanjagen van klimaatverwoestend vliegverkeer. #StopFlyingBlue!

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

Ik vind onze staatssteun voor genocide eigenlijk een stuk shockerender en onsmakelijker dan een paar demonstranten met een spandoek.

Pro-Palestijnse demonstratie bij stadhuis Amsterdam ontbonden, Halsema: ‘Steun voor Hamas shockerend en onsmakelijk’
Een demonstratie van zo’n 150 pro-Palestijnse betogers is woensdagavond op last van burgemeester Halsema ontbonden. De betogers, die een spandoek meedroegen met de tekst ‘We support Hamas’, liepen een mars door het centrum naar het stadhuis, waar de politie een einde aan de betoging maakte.

Eerst decennia de lucht en de straat vervuilen, een verbod al jarenlang zien aankomen dus je bedrijfsstrategie makkelijk hebben kunnen aanpassen (of niet, en dan: bedrijfsrisico) en dan effing compensatie eisen én dat krijgen uit de spoor- en klimaatpot: wat een immense, schandalige clusterfuck.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Fun fact: When I went to speak at Broadview while I was still under federal indictment, 3 VERY obvious Feds kept following me, trying to copy these people. They had riot shields that said “WE PROTECT US” and asked me conspiratorially if I “knew about the plan” which was totally real. Bro. (1/4)

Exactly this. And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it.

It is bizarre to watch people use the words "restorative justice" to center the need of someone who assaulted someone else. You simply cannot talk about restorative justice in this context without centering his victim.
