You can stay up to date on global conflicts and advocate for victims without re-traumatizing yourself every day with explicit gore content.

Saw the tweet you’re referencing and pretty sure she said that they act like better people than they are in real life, because it is off putting to be an evil asshole in person. That would be the point of saying “that’s why they’re effective at radicalizing people” … use your reading comp skills

the figureheads of the UK anti-trans movement are (mostly? almost all?) cishet people, & the overwhelming majority of lesbians support trans people, going by polls. but the first group think they get to decide what a lesbian is

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off
the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia.
Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your
name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new
passport, and you fly home? They do this all day
for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there
are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have
that happen to you but it's not like your life is over
or anything. And the government should definitely
write you a nice check as an apology.

What is this fourth grade logic? Um, yes, someone could very easily be worse

As someone who has not followed the WP for years, due to similar concerns, is seems incredibly odd that no one believes Jeff Bezos had any influences over WP before this moment (or the non-endorsement). WP has been posting billionaire sympathy for years

Wow, this is a much stronger stance than the Canadian gov't funding agencies have taken before, and as much as it seems like a little more work as a researcher, it seems like a good step as a librarian and a citizen. We need to ensure access to outputs from publicly funded scholarship!

This video is profoundly disturbing. But it should remind us that the focus on the danger of “deepfakes” was misplaced. Trump rose to political prominence (~2015/2016) alongside a visual meme culture. Generative AI allows him to take that kind of visual propaganda to a whole other level.

years have passed and google hasn’t still corrected pronunciation of Māori place names on google maps but the corporation is managing to implement change the on gulf of mexico within days maps are political www.renews.co.nz/why-google-m...

Why can’t Google Maps pronounce Māori words?

The long and the short of it is Google hasn’t built a voice platform to support te reo Māori or Māori pronunciation. And the people in Aotearoa who have started to build this technology haven’t heard from Google.

The rise and fall of ‘Say It Tika’

In 2017 the ‘Say It Tika’ (Say It Right) campaign by Vodafone and Google was launched.

It asked New Zealanders to correct Google Maps’ pronunciation of Māori place names across the motu.

In just two weeks, more than 67,000 corrections were pinned across a digital map of New Zealand.

The plan was for Google Maps and Vodafone to work with linguists and use this data to correct Google Maps’ pronunciation once and for all.

The problem? Google never actually had the technology to do this.

Google apologised for dropping their end of the deal, but Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (Māori Language Commission) chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui says he hasn’t heard from the organisation since.

There’s a particularly evil strain of liberal/progressivism that is rooting for things to get worse in Gaza simply so they can do an “I told you so.” At any point in time Biden could’ve actually flexed US muscle and said knock it the fuck off but he just kept adding fuel to the fire. Own it.

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive.

Another industry executive said: “What’s most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity.”
