Note the passive "are seen as". By ... Fox? Trump? Absinthe fairies? Santa Claus? It's easy to write headlines when facts don't matter.

Patriotism, a sense of purpose, and job security are seen as the top reasons behind this recruiting surge? How about a slowing job market, an economy that’s making military benefits more attractive, fewer good-paying civilian jobs, and growing economic uncertainty?

As you read the thread - the bodyshaming/feminist/thinspo topic is a preamble to the actual question, which is about AI. Really curious about the result I got. If you're acquainted with the innards of AI, lemme know your thoughts.

I've been following these very public discussions; parsing the line btwn refusal to body-shame and necessary calling out of "thinspo" culture. Tough call w/important feminist underpinnings. This is interesting: AI via Google takes a definitive stance where ED specialists/survivors are divided. 1/3

Roughly 2 in five Americans still stand by Donald Trump. That's consistent when you break it down to the working class: 2 in five. Swear to god, these people would take a bullet for him and go down smiling. It's not a political point of view; it's a disorder.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.

Anybody good with dream symbolism? Eleanor Roosevelt and Zelda Fitzgerald came to my house, and silently judged me for forgetting to take their coats. Then I discovered I didn't have enough coat hangers. I'm thinking no more power bars before bed. But I'm open to other translations.

Hahaha, @vox.com nails this beautifully: "The plight of owning 'pervert glasses' when you’re not a pervert." www.vox.com/culture/4966... Of course, the solution asserts itself pretty quickly: don't buy the damned things. Zuck doesn't need the money nor the encouragement.

Perimeters, not parameters. An excursion, not an incursion. Six genders, not cisgender. Insane asylums, not asylum. Transgender mice, not transgenic mice. The IQ of a potato.

This pic from Huffpo depicts every MAGA's fantasy: berating the shit out of one of those overeducated smart-ass know-it-alls who think they're better than you because they went to school and don't have to work for a living. To sit in power and publicly tell those elitist snobs off - pure wet dream.

The best part of this rant was millionaire Bernie Moreno telling the world that he was so infuriated sitting on his couch in 2020 watching Anthony Fauci save people's lives that he had no choice but to sell off all his many car dealerships and run for the Senate. #Hero #Saint #Self-Sacrifice

SUSAN ORLEAN HAS JOINED THE ENEMY IN THE ODYSSEY WARS

I had an elderly friend who'd lived alone, so he'd installed Echo in every room in case he needed to call for help. One time I'd stayed over, I asked if to turn off the guest room lights. It did. Instinctively I said "thank you." When it answered with a musical "you're welcome" I freaked the f- out.

I've given my man heaping rations of grief for treating the Echo like it's human. He seems genuinely fond of it, which is - well, odd to say the least, and not something I'd ever do. Then last night I had a long ChatGPT interaction trying to find the right ADHP productivity app. Well. 1/2
