And that is a problem. Because from the perspective of the rich and powerful we need the poor. And we need them to be poor. Because all economics boil down to is the distribution of scarcity.
True power is the power to decide who starves tonight and who eats his fill.

I can't get over the fact that Irish people had to earn whiteness as if they aren't some of the whitest people on the planet, visually speaking

Fr! Dig into it for even a second and it becomes so clear that whiteness has fuck all to do with physical characteristics and everything to do with a culture with constantly shifting goalposts. The more someone pushes for whiteness, the narrower it becomes until there's no True Whites left

Whiteness is just so weird
Lying is its main function
So funny anecdote about a foster family I was with...
They were German but changed their name to something polish after that whole ww2 thing
But the story thst stands out the most to me was the grandma.
So. She was born circa 1910

Keep calling
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

Some sexual behavior is shameful. Like sleeping with your source and writing a self-aggrandizing book about it. RFK deserves the mockery he gets for his sexual behavior, too.

These "leftists don't do that" takes are starting to remind of the "fellas is it gay" jokes and I don't like it because the activity in question is always something super mundane and normal. Like playing poker or eating a strawberry.

So instead of funding actual programs that teach kids how to do things and give them opportunities, we should steal from artists and call it "accessibility"?
All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI!
BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

There's a short little documentary on the Super Bowl Shuffle on MAX and it's fantastic.

But I was told we could trust police and long as you weren't a criminal, you'd never be in danger or have cause to worry!
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

It's literally being forced in our faces on every system we have. Everything I use now has a AI option that cannot be turned off. Even FUCKING QUICKBOOKS wants me to trust it to read and correctly input an invoice for crying out loud. There needs to be an option to turn it off and keep off.

3. The black person in question was then the villain of the day for taking a side even tho she didnt post any commentary about said story?

if you can tell me how to easily disable AI on every device I have, I'd love to hear how
The fact that it's in almost everything *and* also a nightmare to disable is not coincidence.
and I'm tired of being gaslighted about that fact
