I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

last night I got one blurry cryptid picture while trying to figure out wtf to do about this, then it promptly disappeared into another of the infinite crevasses with which this oven was designed, presumably by mouse housing developers

you're weren't paying attention to Harris' words. Biden's "Israel strategy" was to appease & help Israel. Biden is a self-proclaimed Zionist.

I didn't enable Trump at all. you just say BS like this to anyone who opposes genocide.

you sure do like to throw around "Riviera of the Middle East" a lot.

Karen Attiah Good morning. @karenattiah.bsky.social • 4h This is your reminder to get to the gym so that you can beat up racists and evade the cops if necessary. ... backofthenapkin.bsky.social @backofthe... • 4h Beating up racists is a terrible idea. Being racist is horrible, but not a crime, and you're likely to end up in jail. If the racist is a man, he's likely stronger than you even if you work out, and may be armed - you'll get hurt. Think before you write.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Absolutely no compunction just calling things different words to justify invading a sovereign country by land without provocation. Is it new to US foreign policy? No. Is it especially egregious here? Yes. Was this always clearly what was happening? That would also be yes

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been dubbed an "illegitimate leader" by Trump, who has associated him with drug-trafficking operations in the region, despite his denial. The State Department also estimated in 2020 a majority of the cocaine coming out of Venezuela was transferred to Europe or Brazil, according to The New York Times. The news outlet reported earlier this month that military officers confirmed no cocaine was found onboard the ships struck by United States armed forces.

OpenAI is a blight on society.

www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
According to filings at the superior court of the state of California on Tuesday, OpenAI said that “to the extent that any ‘cause’ can be attributed to this tragic event” Raine’s “injuries and harm were caused or contributed to, directly and proximately, in whole or in part, by [his] misuse, unauthorised use, unintended use, unforeseeable use, and/or improper use of ChatGPT”. It said that its terms of use prohibited asking ChatGPT for advice about self-harm and highlighted a limitation of liability provision that states “you will not rely on output as a sole source of truth or factual information”.
