Doesn't surprise me at all. And my Hawks are going to be even better when they finally move on from maybe the biggest blunder in franchise history.
If you’d told me the Hawks would lose Trae Young indefinitely in the 4th game of the season and would then end up 11-7 after having the worst travel schedule in the NBA, I’d tell you that you were full of shit

This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.
From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

Thanksgiving and the National Day of Mourning
As injustices upon Indigenous Americans perpetuate, we must act to counter that systemic oppression

Always remember, to make time to look for the good.
I'm thankful for all of your support.

Lawyers who support and protect the worst scum on Earth are some of the most emotionally stunted, intellectually shallow creatures you'll ever come across in life.
The number of people angry at me On Here who cannot, when asked, even explain *why* they are angry at me beyond "someone said to be" shouldn't be surprising, and yet somehow still is.
I feel like if you're gonna be mad at someone, the minimum requirement is knowing why.

It really is crazy how many mediocre creators have decided that fully embracing ableism and privilege is a good way of fending off competition.
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

The disconnect on AI isn't between tech people and the rest of society.
It's between people who fear and avoid change and those who don't.
I'm the absolute opposite of "tech people." Can't write a single line of code.
But AI is different. Far beyond "useful," it's inarguably transformative.

There seems to be a pretty huge disconnect between tech people & the rest of society regarding AI. I know VERY FEW people outside of that sector who find it useful & use it regularly, and most people I know hate how it's getting shoved down our throats, & breaking things that used to be useful
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

The Democratic party is a fundraising organization that sometimes does politics instead of being a political organization that sometimes does fundraising, as it should be.
Instead they seem to see the issue as another “give us money” trigger. I got two Mark Kelly texts out of nowhere yesterday asking for cash
dems should be putting out new “dont follow illegal orders” videos every day, they should be replying to announcements of investigations of dems with new videos, they should be posting at hegseth to not follow illegal orders nonstop

It's fascinating to see some spend so much time and energy feeding their and other anti-AI zealots' confirmation bias.
Sadly, it's almost impossible for regular folks to get good-faith AI info between being constantly bombarded by these folks and the carnival-barking, snake oil-peddling AI bros.

I'm mystified that this guy doesn't understand how our system of government works. The president being elected by a majority of Americans doesn't somehow put Texas or Brooklyn in charge of Rhode Island.
