“I was using ChatGPT for our entire communication,” says Francesca. …“I was very aware that I’d taken it too far but I felt like I was in too deep by that point. I didn’t know how to get out of it, I didn’t know how to talk to this person as myself any more.”

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

It is worth noting that Liberation Theology has it’s root in the Catholicism of Latin America, where Pope Leo spent his time as a missionary, Bishop, and Cardinal.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths

Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

I’m gonna say this - with love - about this. Stop telling me how dim the police and these agencies are and giving them an out when the answer is hatefulness.

The only reason you think a fragrant LABLED perfume bottle came from a den in the 19th century is racism.

Mel @thegatesofmel.blacksky.app · 2d

Calling these things “mistakes” is disingenuous and lazy. A 45 year old fragrance in a bottle that is scented like the fucking fragrance is not a damn drug and everyone knows that. www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

Indian immigrant fights deportation after police mistake perfume labeled 'Opium' for the narcotic

White supremacy is inherently depraved, yes.

this is a deeply traditional approach across 'western civilisation'

in many ways it is fundamental to Enlightenment philosophy

the belief that human nature is inherently sinful and undeserving and must be overcome in order to be considered a valid person

According to Edda Fields-Black, rich people used to call Newport RI “Carolina Hospital” because enslavers went there to hide from malaria on rice plantations.

I remember when I used to think “nobody owes you anything”.

These past couple years I have been vehemently rejecting that idea. I think we all owe each other so much, actually.

And how much of a better world would we have if we all believed that?

Am I calling you a fascist if you don't mask? No.

What I am saying is that doctors have a sworn duty to protect their patients and have been actively choosing not to do so because they never intended to in the first place.

"Why are doctors becoming fascists?"

Most of them won't even mask to protect their patients. What the fuck do you mean becoming?

Guess folks only see harm when anyone other than Black ppl say so like when they studied gynecology on Black women with no anesthesia. But yes let's discuss them becoming fascist as if this is new
