love that we had a whole national reckoning over the media's coverage of Biden's advanced age and none of the scolds who High Horsed us can be bothered to spend even a minute reflecting on the fact that Trump has basically become Mr. Burns in the "Spruce Moose" episode of THE SIMPSONS

A bill that basically allows teachers to acknowledge that trans people exist is too spicy for this nazi fluffer

Republicans latched onto the legislation as an example of "gender ideology" at work in state government, with the Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones (R) demanding Newsom veto it.
The bill promotes the "theory that reproductive anatomy does not necessarily determine a person's gender," Jones wrote in a message to Newsom.
"For third grade students the framework states,"
'When
providing instruction on sexual and reproductive organs, teachers can introduce the concept that gender does not always match the sexual and reproductive organs described," Jones said.
"Teaching controversial gender theories to students as young as eight or nine years old is not a practice that most Californians support, nor want to see happening in our schools."

Seems like you really do have to be some kind of ascetic weirdo to wield power correctly

Trying to provoke a civil war right now seems pretty hasty. The president is likely dying, and the economy is looking exceptionally shaky: priced against gold the SP500 is already in a bear market. Maybe they see this as the best shot to consolidate power before losing the mandate of heaven

Looking into an electric mobility scooter for my dad. Seems like the two options are: either buy an american made piece of shit with decades old technology that weighs a ton and requires a hole cut in your car.

Or: pay full freight for something manufactured in China with good ebike tech

WA weed stores are having the most fun with pun business names. My favorite local ones are Fillabong and Herban Market

The cop stuff is so absurd. I cant imagine them caring that much about tuning up a junkie

Cliff @cliff.leaninto.it · 3d

I think there's something to the idea, as well, that these things are engineered to engender dependence in the user. So you'll start saying all sorts of goofy shit to justify using the thing you "need"

You'd probably find a pretty stark divide on this issue between people who habitually use AI chat bots as part of their workflow and those who haven't ever engaged with one

The "anti-ai rhetoric is bigotry" take is, I think, rooted in the fact that humans will pack bond with just about anything that they can plausibly assign some human characteristics to.

Everyone can contact their Gov's urging them to arrest any ICE agent that's breaking the law. Marc Dann made a good point that lawfare can go both ways below. Even if prosecutors lose, it can deter these ICE Nazi's if they think they may have to deal with legal probs down the road. Call your Govs.

Governors have an obligation to order the arrest of federal agents who are breaking state law.

"What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes? Who does that? What kind of govt permits its agents to abuse American citizens & non-citizens w/o the slightest concern for their rights, their well-being, indeed their basic humanity?"
