Self-described Leftist using GenAi and LLMs is like the PRIME example of people having negative class consciousness, it’s so infuriating.
AI has ruined the internet experience.
At least before, photoshop was a skill that one had to learn. And sometimes people did cool shit with it.
AI slop has only made everything cheap and questionable at all times. Especially with political memes… seeing leftists use it makes me wanna scream.

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....
funded by automakers
because their cars were killing pedestrians
So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.
Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”.
Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.
Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Whether it's due to Bernie Sanders vilifying them or Elon Musk simply being Elon Musk, billionaires tend to get a bad rap these days. Now a mysterious group has appeared online that apparently wants to push back on that -- or possibly to poke fun at billionaires threatening to leave California [...]

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

In theater. So they think they’re at war.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

What makes measles in particular such a spectacular disaster is its long hang time, up to two hours airborne or on surfaces.
What I'm saying is if you're thinking of stopping in Spartanburg for gas on your way to your flight in Charlotte, maybe don't.

To give you some perspective, this measles outbreak is taking place along the I-85/I-26 crossing, the Greenville-Spartanburg area, otherwise known as "the rest stop on the way to more important places."
Most notably, the large air travel hubs of Charlotte and Atlanta.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
