always weird seeing this when you just know the people speaking like this about AI aren't doing anything even mildly creative with it. like are you using it as a replacement f-list for extremely niche porn roleplay where a musclegut anthro b-2 bomber is your boss? no, you're writing email openers
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

You're seeing this in a lot of nonprofits right now too. "Strategic realignment" or "refocusing our priories"... often times that reflects valid realities they can't talk about, like funding cuts or new donor priorities. But dodging follow-up questions about it comes off to most people as sketchy!

Pure and meaningless corporate mumbo-jumbo. Read into it what you will, but what stands out to me is that Gallup wouldn't answer a very simple yes-or-no question on whether the Trump Administration complained to them about their findings

They must know that we all recognize this for exactly what it is, yes? They must be aware that they are fooling precisely no one here. They must understand that they are displaying an absolutely stunning level of naked cowardice

I don't care if their bullshit explanation even IS the truth, you do not do this on this, of all years, during this, of all administrations, without sending the signal that you're folding to pressure thehill.com/homenews/med...

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Martinez is not only courageous, but she has spirit/charisma/etc. that makes her an enormous propaganda fail for these mutants.

They didn’t want her to tell her story at all, let alone as starkly and inspiringly as she does.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.

Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.

We need endurance in this moment.

they are building transit camps, and soon, if not already, they will be concentration and extermination camps. no code of conduct can fix this.
Democrats are STILL waiting on Republicans to come to the table and negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE and bring an end to the violence.

We must end roving patrols.
We must have a code of conduct.
We must end secret police.

I really think when Trump won by larger than expected margins (though still small), many conservatives truly believed they had finally won a cultural soft power victory and burned a lot of the actual political capital they had on trying to seem inevitable, and now more people hate them every day.
Chris Rufo doesn't have a career outside of being a "culture warrior." This is his movement. He made his bed. Now he gets to lie in it.

This post is going viral, but this isn't walking back. It's reiterating the initial press release. There's no new information in this post, aside from them saying they're using a different ID partner (which doesn't solve that problem) and the Reddit joke. Everything else is the same. Keep pushing.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:
