None of us watching REALITY BITES in 1992 understood that Ethan Hawke would become the Best Weird Dude Ever 👑

There is a "House of the People." It's called Parliament.
It does require people to make a fucking effort and organize politically if you want change.
I am beyond sick to death of this fetishism of "citizens assemblies" that will do nothing but launder accountability for terrible ideas.
Four people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage flinging an apple crumble and yellow custard at a display case containing the Imperial State Crown in the Jewel House of the Tower of London. According to the BBC, “the group said it carried out the stunt to demand the U.K. government establishes a permanent citizen’s assembly, or “House of the People”, with the power to ‘tax extreme wealth and fix Britain.’”

A federal judge in Virginia suggested that Lindsey Halligan should resign as U.S. attorney after a ruling declared her appointment unlawful, making her the third jurist to challenge Halligan’s continued claim to the post.
Judge Suggests Lindsey Halligan, Prosecutor on Comey and James Cases, Should Resign
Lindsey Halligan’s indictments against James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, were dismissed last month over Ms. Halligan’s appointment.

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

The only reason I would ever go to the US is to visit family and my family would never speak to me again if I gave their own govt their personal contact information. Even my brother, the ex cop, would have many stern words.

"AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

There’s a discursive analysis graduate thesis waiting to be written on these American ad campaigns designed to lure Canadians back to the US. One assumes the ad agencies creating them are Canadian, since Americans generally don’t know enough about Canadians to know what might appeal to them.

Generative AI, owned by the rich, steals the work of human artists/creators/writers without giving them credit or compensation, steals the water resources of humans and environment in the local area, and is used to replace human jobs in a capitalistic society
