Is Buzzfeed still a thing? Because "Bad AI or Normal Birbs?" is a clickbait article waiting to happen, I tell you what

Absolutely! And not for nothing, that line would also make a killer hook and I know this bc it's been stuck in my damn head all afternoon 😂

This is my favorite post I've seen yet today, and there have been some bangers. (The last line is getting added to my sanity-preserving embroidery projects list; I'll post a pic if I actually get around to it.)

So Haiti is so dangerous that we need to have a travel ban in place forbidding anyone there from coming here, and it's so dangerous that we need a level 4 travel alert telling everyone here that they should DEFINITELY not go there, but it's not at all a place that anyone needs protection from? Cool.

That's 6 yrs old & I don't mean infiltration, I mean all the recent times well-meaning ppl called 911 thinking cops would show up & help the ppl that masked men were kidnapping, only to see cops show up & brutalize ppl trying to stop the masked men from kidnapping their family. (Worcester, MA, etc)

I will try one more time and then I’m going to help my kid: There are websites Using the word “passkey” Because it sounds fancy and reputable places recommend them But what they want Is JUST your fingerprint Or JUST your face Linked to all the other info they have on you And it’s sketchy af
comment in response to post
You appear to have confused me with the websites in this conversation? None of the ones I’m referring to offered any alternative to involving biometrics. I’m concerned they’re using “passkey” as a buzzword to get people to share biometrics. (I’m not talking Apple or Google here.)

You never heard the unabridged version? “Vote blue, no matter who! (But if wrong brown: don’t stick around.)”

So @booksmith.bsky.social finds out that proceeds of sales of those books will now potentially be going to a fund materially supporting the shit in that screenshot down there. And they say, oh HELL no. That’s not a book ban. That’s economic sanctions.
comment in response to post
Literally no one gives a shit if you read the actual books. They’re at the library, they’re at used bookstores, flea markets, knock yourself out. NO ONE IS BANNING THEM. Booksmith is just saying “we refuse to help increase the wealth of a person who is harming vulnerable people & crowing about it.”
comment in response to post
Pity NBC didn’t choose to quote the SECOND paragraph in the story, which clearly explains how this is different from “banning” a book because you don’t think other people should have access to the ideas within it.

Hand to God thought that was Kristi Noem. Had no idea who the guy was. Still don't.

OK. It seems the problem yr PDF is trying to solve & the problem I'm seeing w/ my eyes are different, bc where I am, cops are "aware" bc they're actively assisting, and if someone calls, they're not going to make a nice legal record, they're gonna come fuck ppl up. But if this helps others, great.

I ask mostly because I would kiss a centipede before I would call 911 & be responsible for bringing cops into a situation where there were brown or black people around. And I fucking hate centipedes.

Has this been verified/vetted directly with community defense groups in L.A. and elsewhere in the US?

Can’t help but note the irony that in their ongoing mission to prevent dangerous illegal aliens from taking jobs from hardworking US citizens, Homan’s goon squad instead succeeded in making a hardworking US citizen lose his job. A+ work there, chief. But also, fuck Walmart, get this kid a good job.

All good! I quote posted bc I didn’t want to derail the thread. It really was just legitimately very funny to me bc there’s maybe a dozen ppl on bsky whose posts I’ll take as gospel based on quality of prior books/research, and she’s one of them. (I am big on sourcing too; represent.)

I love listening to passionately earnest white ppl yell this during marches, I really do. I wonder if the adaptation varies geographically? In Boston it’s kind of “El pueblo! Unido! Será será serido!”

Arizona has time zone issues, this is just fact. (We have family there and they have always been supremely unconcerned about this which has in turn always been bizarre to us NYC/Boston contingents. We love them anyway.)

Side note: this is also the site that got RĂŒmeysa ÖstĂŒrk locked up in ICE detention in Louisiana for months solely for co-authoring an op-ed in the Tufts student paper about economic divestment from Israeli funds.

Please do not. Cops routinely make it worse.

The advocacy Anna’s talking about is obvs the first, best thing to try; I just know that things happen fast & it can help to look into backup options ahead of time. And maybe this isn’t one at all; it’s just a thing some of us do when we’ve lived through shit: we see if what we learned helps others.

This was more often used to improve quality of life in expected terminal illness, but idk why it couldn’t theoretically be used to improve quality of life in a life changed by that medication. Again, I’m out of the recent loop, I just lived this a few times so it came to mind. 2/3

I have not had to deal with this since 2013, and have not kept up with changes which is why I asked about the name thing. But compassionate use had a provision where, IF the drug had a stable shelf/storage life, it could be stored for the expected lifespan of a patient. 1/3
