No, it makes you human. There are literally people for whom we would do anything because they're good people and have done their bit for humanity. Few fortunately, and also fortunately, not in our vicinity, so we'll never have to face that scenario.
Moderation, or lack of it, is immaterial in these cases.

Let's be clear about something: we aren't free, here in the US. The political repression is real & obvious (& nowhere is it more obvious than Texas).

This shit is delivered matter-of-factly, but... fascist authoritarianism is here *now*. It actually has been here for a bit, but they are tightening the screws.

@DigitalTaoist I think you spelled “greed” wrong ;)

Germany is the world’s second largest arms dealer for Israel, right behind the US.

This isn’t just Israel’s genocide. In the words of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Israel is “doing the dirty work”* but this is very much a genocide being committed by the West.

Ah, Germany… once a nation of genocide, always a nation of genocide, apparently.

BTW, I am very happy that so many people are enjoying this motherfucking website.

Newly unsealed court documents from Authors Guild v. OpenAI reveal that both OpenAI and Microsoft executives knowingly trained their AI models on pirated books (including all sorts of art theft) while privately admitting that the technology threatens writers' livelihoods. Yet, OpenAI & Microsoft went ahead and released their shity AI on stolen work despite knowing it was illegal. https://authorsguild.org/news/ag-v-openai-top-execs-knew-mass-book-piracy-was-illegal/

Stealing from small guys & pocketing billions per year is how they get filthy rich.

This could have been from any book.

@mattblaze we need to get this message out across the media as there is a complacency of accepting the as an ok thing, much like, oh boys will be boys.

@catsalad Let me know how to sign up!

@cstross I remember 1996 with websites full of creepily moving animated gifs. I remember all these opening letterboxes sending out sprinkling stars or rainbows ... just to give a link for your email-ad. 😆

In the land of the free, actor Alan Ritchson claims, he will not be playing Jack Reacher in the same Reacher season series as planned, because in the script originally approved by Amazon Prime, Jack Reacher kills white supremacists, and Ritchson insinuates that after Trump was re-elected, Jeff Bezos’ company no longer wants to make that season.

Obviously, I have not been able to verify this order of events, and there could be many reasons an approved script is not used.
