Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

If you want to be ratio’ed, I’m just putting you on mute (and probably listing you for inaccessible posts).

Because that’s just another manifestation of attention seeking, and it doesn’t deserve cancelling, it deserves irrelevancy.

This post needs an updated re-issue because AI companies have truly come up with some incredibly novel ways to push this technology that no one wants onto people.
The AI age is the "age of no consent"
"Inevitability" means design decisions are no longer informed by user needs; now they are unilaterally imposed. The users are the ones being designed.

One of the world’s most important nature groups is weighing a call for a temporary ban on allowing genetically engineered plants or animals, such as canines edited to appear like extinct “dire wolves,” from being released into the wild.
These animals are extinct. This vote would make sure they stay that way in the wild.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature, a top conservation group, is weighing a moratorium on unleashing genetically modified plants or animals into the wild.

Fun fact, the Christian crucifix as a symbol dates back to the 6th century, but the ichthys fish likely rivals the use of crosses altogether, allegedly used as early as the 1st century as a secret symbol prior to crosses being used in the 2nd century. Peacocks were also popular. History is wild.
