Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

"to do us harm". The dehumanisation and hatred is so thick. Having people like this in charge of the US is like putting a rabies infected, crazed and blood thirsty dog as lead dog.

The whole US administration and a majority of its people used to be so antifa that they went to war against Nazi Germany. Easy to forget, nowadays that the regime is not just ridiculously clearly fascist but also led by some kind of idiot version of Hitler.

Spain has implemented an arms embargo against Israel, showing how it’s done. Every other state that does not follow suit, and which continues to supply arms to the Zionists, must be understood as not only complicit but a partner in the genocide.

Has there been any previous regime anywhere stupid enough to shut down their own ability to collect taxes just bc it fits their fascist narrative that society is corrupt and must be destroyed and replaced (with dystopia and death)?

If they're compressed it might take at least 2 minutes on a decent internet connection.. Should I guess you are using a non-functioning website that makes thus irrelevant (no names mentioned but it surprises me wildly that Illumina Base space is still around and a single human being tolerated it..)

Good. That's just another reason to do it. And if it weren't, killing human culture and making it unsustainable to be an artist on one hand vs a software industry that is slightly useful for some specific tasks at best, but also a threat to the survival of humanity. Wow, it's so hard to choose..

Globalists is a dogwhiztle for Jews, btw, as everyone knows. Shows how sincere the concerns about "anti-semitism" is with this regime. As long as it's an excuse to kidnap, torture and kill palestinians, humanists and other fighting for survival of humanity, it's a good excuse, I guess. (1/2)

Doesn't get much more anti-american than clearly showing the statue of liberty as evil. And the disgusting sub-humans who voted for these nazis call themselves "patriots"? And they like this?

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

"Vem ska bestämma över skolan – väljarna eller skolägarna? För de flesta är svaret väljarna. Men i dagens Sverige, där banden mellan politik och skolkoncerner är täta, är detta inte längre självklart."

Jag skriver om lobbyismen för undervisning på engelska.

DEBATT: Marknadsskolan finns bara kvar för att politikerna och skolägarna är kompisar

När både opinion och forskning säger en sak, men politiker beslutar tvärtom, beror det ofta på välorganiserade särintressen, skriver Marcus Larsson.

It is unfathomable to me that we’re all just supposed to be okay with higher energy costs and more air and light pollution, in exchange for a machine that steals personal data and copyrighted material and produces slop and wage theft, and big tech can do this to our society unilaterally.

Det gör det. Man kan utvinna det ur Ni-rik jord genom "phytomining", dvs plantera växter som ackumulerar metallen, med fördelen att maken sen blir bördigare, m a o en fördel för miljön. Men det är billigare att stjäla regnskog från urfolk och döda dem och den unik natur de vårdar

Olagligt frihetsberövade i strid med internationell rätt! Man skulle även kunna säga kidnappade.

Hur kan det vara så svårt?

Och nu dessutom förda till ett fängelse där fångar torteras, utsätts för sexuella övergrepp m m.
