After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Conservatives are more susceptible to misinformation and more likely to be targeted by it than liberals, according to a social psychologist. And the attacks on misinformation researchers use disinformation techniques to misrepresent their work.
Most Americans believe misinformation is a problem — federal research cuts will only make the problem worse
The Trump administration canceled hundreds of grants it said amounted to federal censorship, implying that those conducting misinformation research are enemies of the First Amendment. This isn’t true.

I have so much respect for how the Canadians have stepped up for their democracy and their core values as a nation! They have done so with so much respect and passion, and it has given me hope that we will get through this. Much love from Scotland, we stand with you! 🏴🇪🇺🇨🇦

I'm watching this disaster unfold right now. Macron is totally correcting Trump; like you'd do to a pal at the pub, that's had a few too many to drink and is about to be barred. You don't laugh,you spiral into existential dread, I guess.

Human values in datasets used to train #AI could have significant implications for how AI systems interact with people and approach complex social issues. A computer and information technology scholar explains:
AI datasets have human values blind spots − new research
AI systems reflect human values. However, the human values embedded in AI are skewed to the utilitarian and away from the greater good.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

Firstly, I apologise for showing you this guys face. Secondly, what an absolute trash threat to women's rights. Nah, we don't want to discuss it. Unless it's about tackling how women are treated like criminals for having autonomy over OUR own bodies. Take the red wave back to the U.S. you fool.

Everything that has been in the news had me thinking about when I saw the Genbaku Dome in person.
