The Democratic establishment has chosen the candidate they want to put in the Massachusetts 6th District. He’s moving from DC to run and bringing big money with him.

Har på sistone hamnat i två diskussioner om dejting där grundargumentet varit "Kvinnor har så höga krav". Bittra män som hävdar att de inte kan leva upp till omöjliga standarder samtidigt som kvinnor säger "Vi får inte ens the bare minimum."
För att vara tydlig. Inte alla män. Absolut.

From the article:
“In a story of theft and security lapses, “Fedora Man” is a gentler counterpoint — a teenager who believes art, style and a good mystery belong to ordinary life. One photo turned him into a symbol. Meeting him confirms he is, reassuringly, real.”

Part of the reason I think there isn’t as much pressure around stopping ChatGPT re: suicide/psychosis as compared to stuff like Panera Lemonade is because people are inclined to blame it on mental illness versus the tech, a kind of victim-blaming mentality that fits neatly into just world fallacy

Picard management tip: When a policy is doing more harm than good, you must examine and revise that policy. It may require simplification, or it may require greater sophistication. Either way, you must change it.

As Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi knew her shit, didn't take any shit, and had her shit together.

Hej DR Nyheder var vi ikke enige om at stoppe med at bruge ordet "sex" i sager der handler om overgreb?
For det første er det gerningspersonens perspektiv at kalde overgreb for sex
For det andet kan man ikke sigtes/dømmes for sex

The Republican candidate in Virginia ran non-stop anti-trans ads.
Then she lost by double digits 💁
Being out and visible is more important to me than ever. I won’t let them turn us into imaginary creatures in some scary fairytale. We are people’s friends, families, coworkers, and Congress members.
