I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

My buddy Zelda has very strong opinions on this stuff. A reminder that her dad left explicit instructions that he did NOT want corporations to be able to do this to him and that means us too. The bare minimum here is to respect the wishes of those who said NO.

If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

the AI story won't end with either a super intelligence enslaving humanity or some "life of abundance"-utopia. it'll end the way these things always end. the bubble will burst. the economy will tank. the tech moguls will golden-parachute onto their super yachts. normies will pick up the pieces.

Liebe #Nazis, liebe #Faschisten, liebe #CDU,

Aktuell werden 20% der Pflege von Menschen mit migrantischen Wurzeln übernommen.

Über 300.000 Pflegekräfte.💪

Migration als Belastung zu framen ist so unfassbar dämlich,aber zum Glück sind Fakten Euch egal. 🥳

mediendienst-integration.de/artikel/mehr...

Factsheet - Mehr als 300.000 ausländische Pflegekräfte

Das Gesundheitssystem ist auf Zuwanderung angewiesen. Besonders auf dem Land sind ausländische Ärzte und Pflegekräfte inzwischen unverzichtbar. Fast jede fünfte Pflegekraft kommt aus dem Ausland.
