I think AI discipline is going to be key. Not an attack on you, but ask yourself if youre willing to make this image, whats a far worse actor than you willing to do. The image itself is harmless, but I do think a general culture of transparency needs to be established starting from square 1.

I need to see the article for myself, but theyre quoting the DHS secretary and regardless of whether you agree with the DHS secretary's assessment, the fact that the DHS secretary is the one saying it is newsworthy...thats for truth or fiction.

Always a big fan of when the GOP doesn't allow guns at their conventions. I guess it makes them feel too safe.

If Trump survived "Take the guns first, due process second," as the GOP party leader, unfortunately i think theyll be ok.

Honestly if calling Nazis socialists means the far right denounces all things Nazism and declares Hitler a genocidal, war mongering, lunatic, then honestly I'd be happy to let them pull out their crayons and play their word games while the adults speak.

GOP congressmembers need to be reminded that Trump has 3 years left in office, and thats if a stroke or heart attack, or the 25th amendment, doesn't take him out first. They need to be reminded everyday that they cant build their legacy on this.

Not sure the context at all, but I'm definitely one of the losers who likes the correction. I have the general wherewithal to assume someone doesn't though.

Im skeptical of how many people are afraid of transgenderism. I think some just disagree with the logical pathway by which its determined that someone claiming to be an X is an X. I think for democrats to win, accepting that this counterargument isnt inherently invalid is critical.

To be honest, theres nothing someone could hate enough for me to tell them that belong in hell for. They could passionately hate me, but if their hate amounted to nothing more than an emotion, I wouldnt think that person deserved an eternity of suffering (on that basis at least).

As I told someone else, I think for plenty of people it is a matter of disagreement + hate, but of course that doesnt amount to disagreement = hate...and if you feel I belong in hell for disagreeing with something, I completely respect your right to feel that way.

I am 100% certain there is. I am equally certain that there is disagreement without the hate.
