Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I’d also love to connect with someone with a following on BookTok since I’d love more participants who read a *lot* of books to see if that influences anything.

Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction).

If you have time, give it a try?

Okay, on the off chance there are some young people out there who don't know: vandalizing, opening, stealing from, or otherwise interfering with a Mailbox is a Federal Offense. USPS does have an investigation unit and you very much do not want to deal with that. Don't... don't steal mail kids.

As a retired US Navy vet, if you are ordered to invade US homes, break their doors, zip-tie kids? - and you do that? YOu should read up on Neuremberg because those are NOT lawful orders, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. Your families shoulid be ashamed of you. Stand the fuck up.

I love that I immediately recognized the name “vigilantcosmicpenguin” from Nerdfighteria livestreams! 💚

Last night, there was a suspected arson attack at Peacehaven Mosque. On Thursday, the attack at Heaton Park Synagogue. There is no hierarchy to pursue. Both tell us that the demonisation of minoritised communities must be dealt with, jointly together with the same vigour.

There’s no excuse for you bothering Jews over things you don’t understand. I’d say “have an actual conversation with us or leave” but you’ve shown you can’t engage in a conversation. So leave us all alone.
