I've lived in so-called red states all my life. Most of my loved ones live in them. I've seen countless innocent people suffer in them.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I don't know man, remember when they used to try and sell us like...TVs and cars and holidays? Now it feels like they've given up even pretending anyone has money, the only thing left to advertise is the vain hope that there's some way to claw your way out of the horrible financial hole you're in

I again suggest that the world shut down between Thanksgiving and the Epiphany. You cover many holidays that way and we all get a rest. Essential workers make double pay and we have lots of feasts. Neighborhoods celebrate together and we bring back wassailing and 12 days of Xmas. Elect me president.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Fuck this (realpage settlement, not s.e. smith’s correct opinion).
And look: RealPage is essentially the Voltron of landlords. It’s software that allows them to get together and form UberParasite so that every landlord in your city can extract every dollar possible.

The landlord class is fundamentally parasitic. The very idea of owning land is ludicrous let alone treating is as a purely extractive source of 'passive income' rooted in the exploitation of people who just need a fucking place to live.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

If you said you were drunk but thankfully you barely drove home without passing out it would be universally agreed you should go to jail. It’s maddening how apparently if you own a Tesla, though, you’re allowed to brag about getting behind the wheel while impaired to the point of unconsciousness.

There is simply no medical reason to take a person, cold-turkey, off of a medication they've been stable on for almost a decade, with no offer of anything else - and when the lack of that medication causes irreversible lifelong issues up to and including death.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.
It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.
And it costs lives.
