in the letter, BR exec armando senra makes no reference to the specific demands made by lander and refers instead to BR's climate and decarb plan... which is laughably weak. it uses amazon as a case study.

algo-based (and, to an even greater degree, ad-based) social media inherently drifts rightward b/c it is most profitable to capitalize on reactivity (mostly fear/shame)
same deal with 24/7 news outlets, btw

1. stop using llms, even to dunk on them
2. suggesting that it is weirder to eat crocodile than to eat ugly foam shoes (which are, thankfully, technically edible) is deeply classist/racist and suggests that chatgpt reflects a western chauvinist worldview that is hostile to other experiences
bummer

okay okay but this is extra funny because the new deal caused the right wing to flip out so much and still does

When I heard someone say Epstein trafficked more than a thousand women, it stopped me cold. Then I remembered this and it clicked: it all ties back to white supremacy.
Epstein was obsessed with genetic engineering, eugenics, and “improving” humanity, including his own DNA. It’s documented.
