ffs of COURSE Frey won’t sign on to this, whereas all three of his challengers have

this story perfectly illustrates why people should rank Omar Fateh, DeWayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in their preferred order and leave Frey off the ballot
Three Minneapolis mayor candidates support a stronger policy separating police and ICE
Three challengers for the Minneapolis mayor’s seat say they support a ban on Minneapolis police sharing information with federal immigration agencies or providing crowd control for agencies like ICE. ...

Just saw a post saying “block and don’t engage” doesn’t work. It does, we know it does. These bigoted weirdos can’t exist without conflict, they are trolls and they can’t troll the freaks who already agree with them. Starve them of air and attention bc that is truly all they want.

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...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

YES THAT BOOK ESPECIALLY HAS ME SO MAD AT HIS PARENTING EFFORTS (or really lack there of. my god, man. be the fucking adult in the relationship)
god what an era for star wars literature 2022-2025

"we're bringing dexter jettster back. he's the smartest, most compassionate man with a queer identity, four kids, and centuries of ptsd. also that one fan from twitter is correct: he's hot as fuck."
Sometimes I remember that, whether you look to Legends or New Canon, Dexter Jettster enters Obi-Wan's life as a reliable adult *specifically* when Qui-Gon is actively absent and dismissive of the teenaged Padawan.

That makes me happy AND makes me want a scene where Dex fucking loses it at Qui-Gon.

“Like forming a relationship with an angel or a demon”

Normally totally fine with Morrison’s shit because they’ve produced some of the most meaningful comics ever made but you can’t fucking shamanize and whimsy your way out of the real world harm ai use causes
Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Right. The opposite. Those who won't mask create a scenario where *high risk ppl have to mask at all times*, because others won't even mask when they're sick or in spaces shared by the vulnerable.

& we really failed as a society not using the pandemic as a reason to improve ventilation & filtration
Most people aren’t asking you mask at all times.

They ask that you mask in essential places: public transit, hospitals, doctors’ offices, pharmacies etc.

Places high risk people can’t avoid.

But if you hate wearing masks? Then advocate for indoor air quality: ventilation, filtration, etc.
yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

i'd much rather my taxes suppprt those listed than be used to buy bombs to kill Black and brown children around the globe.
Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.
