She/her/teetotaler. No one is free until we are all free. Eat the rich. Abortions for all. Trans rights are human rights. If you think you know me, no you don’t.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

There are folks on here, right now, debating whether an unarmed man who risked his life to disarm a shooter at Bondi Beach, handled things correctly.
If you ever catch yourself debating if someone risking their life to stop a terrorist attack is doing it right? Simply perish. You've added nothing.
