The ad is very very effective. youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...
This. “In the 30-second ad called “Republicans In Your Bathroom,” a girl walks into a bathroom stall, screaming when she realizes a GOP congressman is waiting in the stall for her.”

(Also electoral politics are not going to save us. Sure, vote strategically to minimize harm, but since we won’t vote our way out this, vote your principles. Compromising on others’ safety for your own comfort is a betrayal of those others, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you do that.)

citing Cushbomb: In as much as the words of a president can embody a moment, Lincoln summed it all up starting at "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it" and ending at "every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword."
There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers"

Except he didn't fund it, I did, paying a much higher tax rate than the white supremacist. Those thrusters are SpaceX tech for which we—not him—have paid ~$31 billion. I paid for those cold gas thrusters and the software running them, and what I get in exchange is a short video and white supremacy.
do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist
Imagine suggesting that John Brown, history's most absolved white, hadn't adequately thought through the violence necessary to end slavery.
And we can certainly condemn his violence. But let’s step back and remember just how horrible slavery was. On December 20, 1858, Brown, who had briefly returned to Kansas, led a party into Missouri to free slaves.

every time I think "I never want to read a story about an 'elementary school shooting' ever again in my life" and every time it is harder to confront the grim stats that make it unlikely we'll see so much as the end of the calendar year before we're right back here www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...
After a few days off and being busy at work you come back and realize things seem weird and it turns out your favorites got banned. A late welcome back to @manuclearb0mb.bsky.social lmao.

Isaiah’s the real deal and it’s been so cool to work alongside the SEK DSA. They’ve been incredible.
DSA endorses our comrade Isaiah Harris. Isaiah is running to bring the DSA to Kansas’s State House! Isaiah is a true member of the working class and is running to bring better healthcare, affordability, education, and more to the community that made him who he is.

This isn’t frustrating to me at all. As someone for whom these tools could have great use, it just doesn’t matter compared to the explicit purposes they are being used and sold for.
I think it’s important for anyone who (completely understandably) checked out on AI the second the crypto/nft/metaverse/snake oil chuds started pushing it to realize that, in at least the domain of software development, we are very much living in a scenario where the snake oil actually works
You should not be able to get paid to write if what you write implies your inability to read.

If Amendment 3 were simply to ban abortion against the will of the people expressed just two years ago, it would be worth voting against.
Jamie Reed, the former social worker at a St. Louis transgender clinic, made the case for Amendment 3 last month before a room full of Republicans in St. Louis County. “If we talk to people about the trans part of this amendment,” she said, “we can get it to pass.” #moleg #mogov

From even a selfish standpoint I think it's always give it away. The likelihood of a camera picking it up and getting more giveaways is high enough to give it a shot.
There's a video going around IG of a Dodgers' fan catching a ball and people giving him shit for not giving it to a kid. Personally, I would love the feeling of giving something like that to a little one. But I'm not going to trash the guy for wanting to keep it, either. It's October baseball.
