Gonna make Thanksgiving my whole personality. The cornucopia is getting set up in August and anyone coming to my house in November is going to have to listen to the Glee version of Turkey Lurkey time

Small Soldiers holds up super well. You got anti-colonial messaging, David Cross, and it’s rated PG-13 because despite looking like a kid’s movie it’s not for babies

My father in law is a Holocaust survivor and has been writing about Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing in Palestine for decades. His latest article was just published.

How Israel Used My Father's Name to Cover Up Ethnic Cleansing

The awful truth dawned on him: "This forest in my father's name was not planted in the desert but on the destroyed orchards of the previous inhabitants."

Today a guy showed to my Orange Theory class wearing his medal for the marathon he ran YESTERDAY. Good for him / I’m mad.

Google Translate has always used AI. When it was launched it was powered by Statistical Machine Translation which basically means it used predictive algos to look for patterns in massive amounts of existing, human-translated text vs relying on dictionaries and grammar rules.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

I live in Chicago ~ 3/4 of the year and in Portland the other 1/4 and am starting to feel like the president is personally bullying me

i think it says a lot that after the assassinations in Minnesota there wasn't a lot of ink spilled over the concern of retributive political violence

My MIL was at Kent State when the massacre happened. Her father was working at Chrysler and one of his coworkers said that the hippies deserved it.

We go through this rigamarole every few weeks; what people are objecting to is not the behavior or rhetoric of individuals politicians, but the broader nationalization of politics and cultural/educational polarization, which nobody actually knows how to fix.

This is precisely the sickness right here: "The Democratic Party should make fan fiction podcasts say 'woman' again."

How? Why? Do right-wing podcasts ever say anything untoward that Republicans should address?

Everything goes back to the myth that Dems are responsible for petty aesthetic gripes
