I had to share this when I saw that the AP had the gumption to finally use the ‘L’ word in the article’s headline, instead of some euphemistic bullshit like “misled” or “false claims”.
LIED, baby. Lied.
Finally.
Artist, theatrical performer, roller derby announcer, and former derby skater in the Midwest.
Single, childless, and married to my my freedom and sense of adventure.

More like bots, really. Threads had a huge user influx but also a ton of inorganic activity.
Yeah, it is.
Could even get Trump reelected in a few months. Super bleak.
you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent
I’d like to think that, but Amazon has the benefit (at least in the US) of operating in a country where most people need 2-3 jobs in order to live, so it’s either churn-and-burn or starve.
The mainstream media is owned by billionaires. The real question is why you expect them to care about Project 2025?
I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting on that, honestly.
Agreed. The headline made it sound like the deceased person was injected or something.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that six of the Trump Train drivers violated state and federal law. Lawyers for the defendants said they did not conspire against the Democrats on the bus and that their actions are protected speech.
I don’t know how, given the harassing and objectionable temperament of Trump supporters, that anyone could argue this with a straight face. How is it even a question that this was a violent incident? Because they didn’t fire a gun at the bus?
“As young people, we’re poised to inherit a world that needs thoughtful, informed leadership more than ever. But if we’re not even willing to watch a debate
I think it’s fair to say that Gen Z has seen enough of both major parties to know definitively that neither of the two leaders up for the job are going to do anything meaningful to change their lives in a positive way. Their entire lives they’ve watched presidents of both parties promise to raise wages, improve health care and education, and spend less on war. Instead, they’ve watched both of their parents working full-time jobs while still finding themselves unable to provide for the family’s needs and education.
And it isn’t lost on them that when money for a war or corporate bailout needs to happen, it happens overnight, every single time. During COVID the government even made a few trillion we didn’t have appear out of thin air overnight.
It’s unreasonable at this point to expect Gen Z to care. Why waste a badly-needed day’s work to vote when you have observed for your entire life that things stay consistent regardless of who’s elected?
Compared to the US, very hefty.
Is it enough, though? I can’t say if it is or not, but my gut tells me it’s not enough.
That’s wonderful news to read.
To be clear: I 100% don’t think people should be able to enjoy their things without being robbed, public or no.
I’m not amused, just glad I have different habits.
Fair point.
Let me be perfectly clear that I think you should be able to look at your phone 24/7 without getting robbed.
Still glad I don’t, though.
Not blaming the victim here, just glad I have different habits.
Stories like this make me glad I’m not one of those people glued to my phone 24/7.
It’s way harder to snatch it when it’s in your pocket.
But the fun of these stories is when someone writes an article about the thieves trying to scam the victim into giving up their codes. That’s always amusing.
Yeah, that’ll be misused. Without a doubt.
What an awful development.
Barf.
I love the idea of using AI as tool for studying the past, because conceivably, you can train it on every piece of art and writing a particular civilization ever produced and it can analyze that information in a more thorough and efficient way than a human. In my head I hope it’s possible to see ancient cities, or dinosaurs, or battles in historically accurate (and safe) VR experiences one day.
The problem is, as we’ve seen, AI tools are trained on garbage and stolen IP and none of the companies producing these tools care to differentiate between junk and good data, so the information these systems produce is always going to require human validation.
What then is the point? Yes, the image may be pretty and look suitably historic, but we can’t really trust a tool trained on shit not to spit out bad information.
What’s the argument against it being illegal? This seems like a no-brainer.
I spent part of the last two weeks reading ‘Bad Blood’, a book about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, and how they mishandled and faked test results, creating problems for many of their customers. It just seems obvious to me that this kind of deception and fraud is particularly immoral.
If you know how to fix this where I can get qualified competent medical assistance with my issues before they snowball together and murder me, please tell me how because I cannot solve this.
I wish I did, man.
Stories like yours are what I think of every time someone tries to tell me we have “access” to health care, when the reality is we were all sold as a commodity to the health industry by people we elected to protect us.
Bummer that they didn’t find him with some marijuana or something, a much, much more dangerous crime than committing actual treason.
