Every trailer before The Mastermind looks at least intriguing and not one single horror film among them.

I think some of the people on social media sneering at the No Kings protesters are just mad that those normies with signs are way better shitposters than they are

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

I do love our community in Studio City. The Boomer/Gen X wine mom contingent as well as all the kids. What a nice day out standing up for democracy.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
#NoKings

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

No Kings protest in The Woodlands, Texas (north suburban Houston). This is the first such protest to occur in the community. I overheard a number of folks telling others that they had never attended such an event before but had gotten to the point of feeling they needed to do something.

Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!

Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

There are basically only 2 positions in the debate about the one ring

1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it. The one ring sucks.

2. One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

1# has a lower barrier to entry.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

It’s been my understanding that “ethics” refers to a public framework and system that is meant to guide others. It’s “morals” which are personal.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
