Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Really, ChatGPT is just giving you a luxury experience that is normally only accessible to the rich and powerful -- the experience of filling your life with butt-kissing and sycophancy until you completely lose touch with reality.

Regurgitative AI is now implicated in multiple deaths but still there is no sign of regulation.
Meanwhile, governments are working to ban trans people from public life based on imaginary scenarios that haven’t happened.
Not even AI could write a situation as stupid as this shit.

ICE just executed someone in cold blood in Minneapolis. The agency is frantically trying to spin it but the videos are already out there. Murderous fascist pigs.

A warning that this is a disturbing video. Proceed with caution.
But it shows that the ICE version of the story is an absolute fucking LIE. As is standard for them!

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Got my 6th copy from her banner last month. Just finished leveling her last night while also finishing up opening boxes from the event. Got my 3rd copy of Summer Melusine off the GSSR so she’s now sitting at 114. Pretty good December overall in game. #FGO #fategrandorder

The debate about Avatar "having no cultural impact" is kind of a smokescreen for the actual argument which is that Avatar is "boring" and "bad" and "has terrible characters, worldbuilding, plotting and dialogue"

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

The thing that makes me insane about this and Vincke’s comments is why would you trust AI to make a reference? They’re notoriously bad at doing that and produce banal results! Go buy some art books, they’re great. How is it empowering concept artists to have them not do that?
