You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

Ahahah. I’m so stupid. At some nice event. I go to the restroom and use this hand soap and wonder why it doesn’t foam….
Probably cuz it’s mouthwash.

But my hands are minty fresh.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

I published this a few hours before the Politico story about the Young GOP text chain but oh my God if it doesn’t reinforce the thesis— the choice right now is not just ideological, but between irony-pilled nihilism and an actual belief in and love for people

Not only do I recall my childhood phone numbers, I use them for my retailer affinity cards.

Micah @rincewind.run · 2d

the funniest thing about this is that those of us who grew up in the divide all have a bunch of pre-cell phone numbers memorized and almost none afterwards

I know the home phone numbers of two of my childhood best friends from thirty years ago and none of the cell numbers of my college friends

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Whole lotta ‘why were there so many firefighters at the World Trade Center on 9/11’ with our disgraceful president’s pathetic statement about FBI agents responding to the 1/6 riot and heavily-publicized insurrection
at the US Capitol.

The logic of a liar.
