However, please realise that regular-degular people ARE using LLMs for medical shit for the same reasons they fall prey to snake-oil grifters who, this is key, listen attentively to them: far too many actual doctors are gaslighting dildobuckets who refuse to acknowledge patients' reported symptoms.

Anecdotally, my friends doing observation and legal work haven't seen a steep drop in ICE activity, but at the airport, the trends are looking pretty promising - over last five days, the average number of ICE detainees getting flown out is 8 per day.

$3951 / 5900 raised for my ICE-impacted neighbors, thank you so much, let's keep going so we can get them their housing funds for March ahead of the due date!
Good morning, bskies! As of this morning we are at $3901 / 5900 needed for March rent for my 3 neighbors here in S Mpls. They've been sheltering in place due to the fascist ICE goon invasion, which is still ongoing! Any extra goes to lights/food.

Yeah, we really need people who aren't in Minnesota who have some extra funds to remember us & step up. If you donated to a rent relief fund last month or earlier in this one, odds are the same folks need more money now (or will very soon). Many of our neighbors are still in hiding & can't work.
I can tell that it's slowed down bc the Twin Cities networks are pretty much tapped out at this point, which I totally understand, but I hope the rest of the world hasn't moved on already.

Oh cats absolutely understand crime. Dogs mostly do not. At best they grasp "I know they told me not to do this but it seems fun so...." the same way that a toddler does. Cats, though. They plot.
cats will look you dead in the eyes and slide a mug off the counter. you cannto tell me they dont understand crimes

This is why we're still raising funds for our neighbors to shelter in place. Even if ICE left TODAY it's too late for so many people to make their rent if they haven't been able to work.

ohhhhh y'all, this is amazing, we just cracked 11k (out of a goal of 50k, which is almost surely less than the actual need). That's $4,000 raised tonight!! 12.5k gets us a quarter of the way there. local networks are stretched so thin; can you help us get this in front of out-of-state eyes?
