I really fucking wish the AI people who don't understand consent, privacy, risk mitigation, or compassionately answering user concerns about any of the former would stop talking to the public because it's already goddamn hard enough to get people to understand not all machine learning is this shit

The CEO of Delta says that having to refund a passenger for a cancelled flight is "government overreach." These corporations are endlessly greedy, and the next 4 years will be a slue of efforts to swindle consumers out of every penny.

incredible that he's deriding it in the same post he self-censors its name because he knows the Vichy Twitter algorithm buries any mention of or links to its competitors

There is a segment of the population who never: -had any real impositions -learned that you aren't entitled to someone's time -learned that just because you say it doesn't make it worthy of consideration -been taught to mind their own fucking business And they get Big Mad when told any of it now.

he cares about three things: a) mass deportations b) tariffs c) retribution against everyone he believes has wronged him everything else will be left to the whims of the amoral grifters surrounding him

Not seen in NYT's "what to know" about Pam Bondi: the only thing you need to know, that she fired prosecutors in her office who were investigating companies engaged in foreclosure fraud, after receiving thousands of dollars in donations from those companies.

It’s imperative that the Left start planting conspiracy theories now about JD Vance plotting against Trump so that when a routine coronary sends him to the big McDonald’s in the sky there’s a mob of deranged MAGA supporters dragging JD out the naval observatory convinced he was behind it

The withdrawal of Afghanistan was botched, but it wasn't Donahue's fault (and ugh to having to defend a General and an Airborne unit). The 82nd went in to Kabul in the middle of chaos to secure the airport and did about the best they could given the circumstances.

Genuinely hadn't occurred to me before reading this, but that's why journalists are banging the "Bluesky is an echo chamber" drum, right? They can't use this platform for scraping news stories. Not only is there no outrage farming, but the nuclear block also limits their ability to follow discourse.

She has everything necessary for Trump. She takes bribes, she’s blonde, and she’s got Fox News looks. We should probably consider ourselves lucky she’s even an attorney. Inflation is now solved.

There's something I need people to understand. The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad. The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

I assume that’s a feature, not a bug. People using the wrong restroom for their gender presentation will result in hysteria, violence, and chaos, which can then be used further to demonize trans people and further restrict them. Exactly what Nancy Mace wants.

Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

A thing I’ve started saying to kick off every media interview: “The question is not ‘will they do mass deportation y/n.’ It’s not a defined term and it’s not a binary. The question is: how far can they go, and how far will they go?”

A real-life case study in anonymous internet harassment and insider threat: I must sadly retract my endorsement of Kevin Crawley, as I have recently learned he is a Kiwi Farms member. I believe he may pose a safety risk to his colleagues, or even to his employer. www.linkedin.com/posts/efong_...
