I would prefer we kill the AI industry with fire, but killing it with copyright would suffice.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”

MAGA: No, Biden can't wipe away student loans. That's hella illegal unless Congress acts.
Also MAGA: If Trump declares an entire federal agency "lunatics" he can do away with it and all the funding it distributes without bothering to inform Congress, let alone requiring any action.

REPORTER: Will it take an act of Congress to do away with USAID?
TRUMP: I don't think so. Not when it comes to fraud. If there's fraud. Those people are lunatics.

Science Question: When they say "8 MEGA ROLLS EQUALS 32 REGULAR ROLLS" do the regular rolls exist...anywhere? Are they just in the imaginations of toilet paper marketers???
Do they make one tiny "regular" roll per year just to keep the story alive?
