The people who say "why this obsession with Palestine? why don't you post about Sudan?" never post about Sudan themselves.
What they mean is "it's fine you don't care about Sudan. You should be similarly indifferent to Palestine"
(of course, many people do post about both and other crises)

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

"Deserve" is an unfillable cup, because it doesn't fix the problem. You will never hurt someone so much that it will heal you. The right wing is going to keep doing unimaginable damage.

the worst thing is even the consultation puts the burden on creators, because all the questions are like 'given generative AI is obviously BRILLIANT and anyone who wouldn't want to let LLMs eat their copyrighted material HATES THEIR COUNTRY, do you think what we're suggesting is good?'

A lot of what some might call “handouts” is actually just effective resource management.
When vaccines and preventative medicines are covered, for example, hospitals end up under far less strain.
It’s a good system for everyone except people who might want to profit from the worst outcomes.
