Who Remembers the Armenians?
I remember them
and I ride the nightmare bus with them
each night
and my coffee, this morning
I'm drinking it with them
You, murderer -
Who remembers you?

Look sometimes people take my shitposting seriously and actually respond with smart stuff.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

when Last Week Tonight did a piece on environmental racism in America, John Oliver said that “racism is one of the few things in this country more powerful than money”
idk if he came up with that line himself, or if one of his writers did, but it’s been rattling around my brain ever since
