Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

For those who thankfully have left Twitter, just know the site under Musk now fully belongs to Nazis and white nationalists.
This the present and future of the GOP btw. White supremacy, misogyny, cruelty & a delight in violence.
It's going to be an ugly rough road ahead but we have the majority.

Remember, the rallying cry isn't: Use this moment to restore normalcy and go from there.
Because we won't and history shows that.
The rallying cry is: Use this moment to address and repair issues we've long been avoiding.
And that becomes exponentially more possible the more people are saying it.

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.

Pure logic? I dunno. I find LLMs really good at finding you specific sources, like the papers that are going to address exactly the issues you’re asking about—I mean at least compared to just google or searching Lexis Nexis or the like. But, like all the above it can be hit or miss

Hey, @rweingarten.bsky.social and @aft.org, please immediately cancel your partnerships with "A.i." companies. You cannot morally and ethically justify pushing this kind of garbage on school kids.

Yuanxin, the 6 year old kidnapped by ICE earlier this week, has been located in the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
This is also where they sent Emmanuel Garcia, the 15 year old autistic boy who went missing in Texas.
It took his mother 50 days to get him back.
We must get Yuanxin out faster.

I think the most absurd part is all the writers thought AI would destroy humanity because AI would get too smart, but they didn’t realize that years of de-prioritizing the humanities would actually make the people who made AI so stupid that it’s going to be the stupidity that kills us and lollllsob
Goddamn. We were so worried about the Evangelical armageddon freaks, but it's actually the AI cult that's going to kill us all.

Not sure if I have meds or vaccines I can discuss, but there is a "disease" unique to Zyearth - Gem Death. Gems only last for about 18-20 users. If it goes beyond that, it'll start to fade sooner (Gem Sickness) and magic will be less effective. When the Gem fades, the user dies with it.
