Everyone is claiming AI uses much more energy than traditional search (true) but nobody is talking about how traditional search is being replaced with AI so you dont really have a choice. Google spits out an AI answer whether you want it or not now.

Remember when everyone listened to the Pope?

Yeah me neither. Great words nonetheless

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Ultimately if trump wanted to use the current extra-judicial powers he seems to be wielding along with power over congress he could do sooo much for healthcare in the US.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Most people including some I care deeply about just dont seem to give a shit about politics. Someone has asked the question “why does obamacare need subsidies?” So I went down a rabbithole with AI. Some really thought provoking stuff here IMO.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

I really liked it. Also saw it in IMAX. Couple of good easter eggs in there from the earlier two films too!

Given that the whole point is to keep escalating the violence, this is the most effective form of protest. It undermines their narrative of a "violent mob", and every time they try to escalate, they'll just look goofy as hell beating a bunch of inflatable animals.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

An event that literally everyone saw coming. Immigrants farmers are the real heroes that kept food on American tables. They should be venerated not vilified.

Joel Mathis @joelmathis.bsky.social · 1d

This is why schadenfreude about Trump-voting farmers is dumb. Yeah, they voted for this. But also: That’s going to make your life harder too.

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 1d

Trump’s immigration crackdown is risking higher food prices for Americans, according to the Trump admin itself.  DOL warned in an obscure document last week that “near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

ICE isn’t hiring the best people

It’s getting harder and harder to tell “law enforcement” from the criminals they claim to protect us from.

What if instead of protesting nationally on a single day, all liberal leftist democrats picked one day to buy guns. You do t even need ammo. Just everyone go buy one gun on the same day. Make sure its an imported gun too! You dont even have to buy one but tell everyone you did
