“Went viral” is an old stock phrase in journalism that really does not capture the dynamic of how X dot Com has been tuned to give people like the one specific legislator here the power to intentionally cause this kind of outcome
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.

A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

Hello Thriends! I hate asking for things On Here, but here goes.

With the ICE raids and spike in immigration based evictions in Illinois, the simple truth is that I can't keep up with the demand for my services. There are way more people who need a name-your-own-price lawyer than there are Sheryls.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Generative AI causes so many demonstrable harms, from counseling kids into suicide, stealing creative work and destroying the market for it, perverting education, and this predictable horror. Any other product like this would be regulated into the smallest possible box by a responsible society.
This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

The Geiers were famous for using Lupron (a medical castration drug) on autistic boys to “ take the wolf out” as they put it in a long -vanished article that used to be on the NYT website. Vile and evil men.
The study in question was conducted by anti-vaxxers David Geier, who Kennedy hired to study vaccines and autism, and his father, Mark.

Neither one has a medical license. Mark is a former physician but his son, David, is not.

Both were disciplined for practicing medicine without a license in MD.
