Hey y'all, someone I know was arrested during this protest. The protesters are predictably being treated inhumanely by the jail staff and held in solitary in many cases. Please share this around, and donate if you're able, they may be facing fed charges.

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:
"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."
No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

I am more than comfortable with calling out allies who can't even say the word trans. Like no, Rowling's problem isn't with "queer people", "the LGBTQ+ community", or "the gays." It's trans people. She hates TRANS people, she wants TRANS people dead, and she's TRANSphobic.
Say the fucking word.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

I really wish once, JUST ONCE, that one of these journalists would say to the orange fascist "You seem very emotional right now" when he goes off on one of his rage rants. Just call it the fuck out, you cowards, jesus CHRIST grow a spine.

If this was a real study it would be published in a real journal not a fking press release. They don't even have the confidence in their theory to do what a lot of other AI companies do and commission real university scientists to run it.

Automated text generation has existed for decades. "Dead internet" is from 2016. Markov chain text generation dates to at least 1984. The incentives to algorithmicly generate web text have been around since before 2010. Huge swaths of the internet have been case for seo/advertising slop for decades.

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now.
But there's an even more important reason...

We ended up betraying many (most?) of the locals who helped us and leaving them in Afghanistan to dodge the Taliban. A friend of mine who worked for the US finally got visas for himself and his family...from Germany.
Afghans saved many American lives during the war. Way more troops are alive because of them than have been harmed by asylum-seekers. The potential reward of coming to the US was key to securing cooperation. Kicking everyone out will ensure no one helps again.
