my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

James Talarico tells undecided voter the story of how he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes:
“So I was able to work across the aisle to pass the first ever cap on insulin co-pays in Texas history. We capped it at $25.”

Ohhh I just checked mine and found it switched off as well. That's not okay on a lot of levels - but easy to fix for yourself as an individual.
Please turn on Alt Text requirement in your accessibility settings! It's easy and helpful.

I initially had this setting switched ON, and like others have found that it has mysteriously switched itself off.
PLEASE, Alt Text is so important for so many people, go and check that setting ☺️

Ok, let me help you out: there's a button in settings that you can switch on that won't let you post an image without adding ALT TEXT. 🥰It's a huge help to me - I would forget otherwise tbf. I know it's a chore lovelies but it helps so much! So please, please, don't give up!🙏🤞💪💖🤗

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

Shopping freeze at Home Depot in Manhattan this afternoon in protest against the company allowing ICE to stage & target people seeking work at Home Depots across the country.
An estimated 300 activists purchased & returned ice scrapers, copying activists in Los Angeles. Ended with a rally outside.

Ableism makes you think you will be the exception.
Disability won’t happen to you.
You’re “better than that”.
You’re “stronger”.
You will succeed where the rest of us failed.
It’s not true. Disability can & does happen to almost everyone.
It’s not a moral failing.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

It's infuriating beyond reason seeing so many people that are otherwise anti-fascist or leftist be extremely puritanical towards anything remotely NSFW.
Labeling everyone with even a little bit of a libido a degenerate gooner 100% helps fascist censorship.

“Business people like AI doesn't argue, not understanding experts were protecting them from their own bad ideas” — a notion pretty much any creative with clients understands.
using AI cuts corners on involving people who know better. negativity for christmas is an awful ad concept even if it was made by people - so a creative team would push back on the request. business people like AI doesn't argue, not understanding experts were protecting them from their own bad ideas

If you started siding with the right and being wary of the left because some leftists were cunts to you on social media you were never particularly left-wing to start with. I've had mad leftists and woke scolds say insane stuff about me and to me and it never made me hate centrists any less, bitch.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.
