If you're sympathetic to "accidental" Nazi tattoo guy but think trans people brought genocide upon themselves by being "too much":

You may also be an "accidental" Nazi
You know, seeing liberals speak up louder in defense of a guy with a Nazi tattoo than any marginalized community in the past year shouldn't shock me at all, and yet it does. It really does.
Hey you know the number one drug that leads to firearms accidents???

i think this might give them too much credit but even if true, “the best we can find is a 70-something who isn’t even onboard with basic shit like ditching the filibuster” is either rank incompetence of actively and intentionally sabotaging any future dem majority.
Agree with all of this!
There is a reason why Schumer and co. were pushing so hard for mills to jump in the race, they’ve probably know about this stuff for months, and now that she is declared, is dropping that oppo

Forgoing condoms by explaining that was off the record after we've had sex
Jee maybe someone of the people who did the same things during 2016 trump should have faced any consequences ???
I hope folks are keeping track of all of these disappearing messages, because holy Presidential Records Act and related archival requirements violations, Batman!

Any politician who utters the phrase "Look forward, not back" in the next two electoral cycles gets sent to the cornfield. ➡️ Never again
This is Carney upholding settler violence and liberals really need to stop giving him a pass

The federal government is expected to file a motion in Nunavut court next month to have the Inuit experiments case dismissed. The lawyer for the plaintiffs says the government's denial of involvement is "offensive."
‘It doesn't look good on the federal government’: says plaintiffs’ lawyer in Inuit experiments case
There's 'no evidence that the federal government was involved in conducting the research,' in Inuit experiments case, according to a government statement.

Carney wants to sweep Canada's experimental torture of Inuit people under the rug. Defend that, Liberal stans. #cdnpoli

The job isnt sit on your ass until your constituents yell at you hard enough.

Its not to keep trying to pass them same internet bill everyone hates. And when fascism shows up your body is supposed to be the first on the line. You are litteraly a paid protestor and activist
Let me outline the value proposition for elected representatives since yall seem confused

We pay them very reasonable salaries with benefits and pensions most of us could only dream of.

They are supposed to advocate for our interests and handle running the country
Certainly not minority groups ! The fasc might attack us for protecting them /s
Maybe we should stop listening to managments unhinged fantasies

Software engineers expected exactly that outcome.
"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them
Do your leaders consistently and clearly advocate for solutions
Your leaders should stop trying to band aid your broken healthcare system and advance and advocate for a single payer system
Your right better things arent possible and we should abandon all efforts to advance policy that would improve people's lives
What if.... we just fix the underlying problem and do pubkic healthcare a thing that regularly polls at 70+%
This is just Kamalas fucking campaign promises im losing my fucking mind
like i think the Times Editorial Board gives the game away here

You can’t call it a big tent if to include some people you throw out others. That’s just a carousel.

Death is terrifying to all of us--no one wants to talk about our mortality, and most humans spend entire chunks of their existence pretending they are immortal. We need to have healthier and more open conversations about disability, aging and death. Not sure what an AI will do to fix this.

There is something about the CS/engineering mindset that you can engineer technological/AI "solutions" or "fixes" that are going to be superior to the vulnerable, flawed, painful realities of the human condition.
But what if the vulnerable, painful, flawed is all there is?
Or can be?
“For more than a decade, researchers have wondered whether artificial intelligence could help predict what incapacitated patients might want when doctors must make life-or-death decisions on their behalf.”
Should an AI copy of you help decide if you live or die?
Doctors share top concerns of AI surrogates aiding life-or-death decisions.
