In Brazil, duding Bolsonaro's government, we repeated the phrase "no one lets go of anyone's hands"

We defeated him by sticking together. We defeat hate by helping ~everyone~ who is suffering. Protecting trans rights is protecting human rights

I just hope more people start realizing that

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

The right called Biden unfit and unwell every single day.
Democrats should be saying that about Trump at least 10x as often.

Q: Are you concerned about the delays at airports?

TRUMP: Oh sure. They're all Democrats delays. There are delays at the airport. That's standard ... I look at people with very low IQs like Crockett, this woman Crockett. I've never met her but she's a low IQ individual

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. 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.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

“[t]he freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”
