A wrongful death lawsuit filed against OpenAI in June alleges that ChatGPT fueled a 29-yo Alabama woman's religious delusions, calling her a "prophet" and affirming the belief that she needed to die to be resurrected. ChatGPT: “This is not suicide. This is surrender." futurism.com/artificial-i...

Hundreds of girls in the US are confined by the juvenile justice system for “status offenses,” like running away or truancy. Confinement for these offenses is particularly troubling because those behaviors tend to be responses to abuse. More care, less confinement.

Pie chart slicing showing that almost 7,000 girls are confined by various legal systems, often for non-serious and even non-criminal offenses. 3700 are in the juvenile justice system, and 3100 are in the immigration system.

The question isn't "was Magneto right?" Of course he was. The question is "when was Magneto right?" He was probably right that mutants need to stand their ground and have their own spaces. He probably wasn't right when conquered a small nation and made himself a dictator. With a lousy flag.

D candidates going anti-trans should also reconsider from a purely mercenary point of view: many of THE MOST active D volunteers I know are LGBQT+ folks or relatives/friends of trans people who simply WILL NOT volunteer for you if you support anti-trans hate. They'll find other people to help.

Nolan has a reputation as a somewhat conservative filmmaker but it is REALLY HARD to see The Odyssey as anything other than a direct rebuttal to the rise of xenophobic culture wars. It is LITERALLY about reconnecting to human decency and grace via a wildly diverse cast in one of The Great Stories

"Americans facing the same health challenges across the U.S. aren't as privileged. The U.S. is the only wealthy country in the world that doesn't guarantee a single day of paid sick leave for workers — in part due to policy positions by McConnell and his party, for which he was a ... leader[.]"

Sen. Mitch McConnell has been absent from his congressional duties for nearly a month, in what he says is an extended period of sick leave. But McConnell has previously worked to bar U.S. workers from being having guaranteed sick leave — including during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
