one of the biggest win of donald trump propaganda apparatus was to convince the american population that he wasn't in power between january 2020 (covid) and january 2021 (insurrection).

that's some ministry of truth type shit right there.

THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

fun fact, if you do an error on the job, you will be loudly reprimanded, and potentially be fired.
but if ai do the same mistake, and do it a lot more, it will just be "the cost of progress".

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.

They'll do a worse job than humans,

but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,

but really they're costlier, it's just that lots of costs get externalized to society by our horrible energy/tax policies.

Lose-lose-lose.

The Real AI Risk is ‘Meh’ Technology That Takes Jobs and Annoys Us All

While AI doomsday scenarios dwell on the risks posed by superintelligent robot overlords, one Nobel-Prize winning economist fears a more mundane possibility.

Marie"Claire : Le cancer du sein, le courage des hommes. 💀

Ok bah parlons-en du courage des hommes :
Après l'annonce d'un cancer, 20,8 % de femmes sont quittée par leur mec.
Seuls 2,9% des hommes sont quittés après un diagnostic.
Le courage des hommes. 🚮

Post Insta Marie-Claire, photo en noir et blanc un homme torse nu porte dans ses bras une femme en culotte noire. Il a le regard droit et valeureux, elle a la tête enfouie dans le cou de l'homme.
Texte : "Ce portrait saisit un instant suspendu, où l’amour et le soutien prennent toute leur force. Elle révèle ce lien profond que la maladie ne peut effacer, ces gestes silencieux, ces regards porteurs d’émotion, cette force invisible qui éclaire les jours sombres."⁣
⁣
Joséphine Neuville a photographié Aurélie, touchée par un cancer du sein. À ses côtés, Jérôme, son compagnon. "Il est cette présence constante, discrète mais essentielle, qui soutient et accompagne sans relâche", écrit la photographe qui fait partie des 40 finalistes de la 14ème édition du concours Pink Ribbon Award, concours photo engagé à l'initiative d'Estée Lauder et de l'association Ruban Rose qui réunit des professionnel·le·s du monde de la photographie ainsi que des acteur·rice·s engagé·e·s dans la lutte contre les cancers du sein. ⁣⁣
⁣
Cette image raconte "une histoire d’amour, de lutte, de tendresse et d’espoir", nous dit Joséphine Neuville qui veut, au travers cet instantané noir et blanc, "reconnaître la dignité et la beauté de celles et ceux qui avancent ensemble, malgré l’épreuve."⁣

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

pop culture is pop for a reason and people systematically hating everything popular are just pretentious douche with no joy in their heart

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The era of "It isn't fair to pick on him, he's just a kid, he didn't choose to be in the limelight" is definitely over, so feel free to say he looks like he throws pets into a woodchipper with an expressionless face and a heart rate of 60bpm.

Trump's weird, serial killer-looking son might get a top job at TikTok.

oh my god this made me cry.
this. made. me. cry.

it's so rare to watch something made with so much... genuine compassion about us. not pity, not judgement, just compassion.

why can't all politician be like that.

(also great team, you feel there are some dolls working hard behind him)
