i saw a toot recently about how democrats/liberals think public opinion is something to inform policy while republicans/fascists (correctly) see public opinion as easily shaped so they can enact their deranged policies, and it really explains a lot.

36 years on, and the Chinese government still seeks to erase the memory of the June 1989 #TiananmenMassacre. World leaders should renew pressure on Beijing to acknowledge the Tiananmen Massacre and provide reparations to victims' families. bit.ly/3FjDLD6

I think the word "important" is overused when it comes to the publication of words. It should be used sparingly. This new piece of research from @teraallas.bsky.social and co-author Dimitri Zenghellis is important. www.productivity.ac.uk/news/mind-th... It explains weak UK productivity. 1/

Two things almost everyone misunderstands about AI: 1) They can't visit a particular web page, so it's useless pasting a URL into the chat. 2) They know nothing reliable about how they themselves work. But because they've been designed to please, they are likely to hallucinate answers to 1 and 2.

I read this article certain that it would say that DHS had determined that the wife and kids were in the United States illegally or that DHS has already developed probable cause to believe all of them were involved in the attack or its planning.
