IMO it may be simpler to recognize that this is basically "just following orders" in machine form. A user may make bad choices in their prompt, and perhaps be liable for them—but that does not absolve the "agent".
Anyway, *taps the sign*

It's disingenuous to quote that number without noting that Sara Gideon, the establishment-backed Dem who failed to topple Collins in 2020, had even less—with only *four percent* coming from in-state, and significantly less of it from outside the urban core.

I've rejected other "this skull is a totenkopf" arguments in the past but this skull is 100%, specifically, the SS-Totenkopf and there's no escaping it.

Interested to see how @pressherald.com spins this Brunswick crowd against @grahamformaine.bsky.social. I don’t see a tech company logo or “brunch boot”.
WCME says "One of the largest crowds on the Brunswick Town Mall in recent years, numbering about 600 at peak". We're 8 months from the primary.

Thinking about how both the lead-up to, and aftermath of, the election has been full of "Democrats are too focused on culture war stuff"

Seeing accusations of media stenography which I think are often very justified but what I'm seeing is mostly stuff like this which seems *pretty* clear that it's bogus? Maybe "unproven" should be "disproven"?

How do they publish stuff like this? "…unless your son was mistaken for a prowler" a) yes, that happens because "mistakes" arise out of racial biases, so "that actually wouldn't happen" is false and b) of course it's not always a mistake, sometimes it's just plain-old open racism (see Ahmaud Arbery)
