I just can't stress enough that this isn't a real thing. What it actually means is *the absence* of some mechanism that artificially normalizes right-wing thought to give it *the appearance* of being on an even footing with what actual normal people think and talk about.

🚨 ICE just published their recent numbers and it's worse than we thought. JUNE: ICE and CBP took 43,138 people. That works out to 1,474 of our neighbors every single day. JULY: 65,765 people are now inside US concentration camps.

ICE Quietly Arresting More People Than Ever According to Latest Data

NEW DATA ALERT 🚨 After months of data silence, ICE's new numbers show 65,765 people in immigration detention, deportations near 1,250 a day, and arrests now at 1,473 a day.

I love how scalpers act like they own pokemon cards now. like "this isn't a kid's game anymore" like yes it is. it's still a kids game that used to be easily accessible to kids until you ruined it. it's not and never was for you to hoard.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

IMPACT: that company that was offering to buy books for AI companies’ training data — and probably destroy them in the process — says it will no longer offer this service following 404 Media’s exposure of it www.404media.co/ai-company-t...

Company Offering Printed Books to Train AI Stops After 404 Media Coverage

Citing backlash, ISBNdb removed its webpages about training AI, denied ever buying, scanning, or selling a book for AI training, and said the site was a "test of market interest."

"The entire public is suddenly aligned against my sub-field of science and is trying to dismantle it with bad faith attacks, cherrypicking, weaponized FOIAs, and a myriad of other tools in clumsy hands that were probably put there by dark money" welcome to the party pal, you're doing something right

We have some time-bounded problems that are simply not going to get solved if we don't know how to deal with this kind of attack, or worse, if we won't advocate for our own position. The planet will become unlivable in my lifetime. I'm sorry if that makes me a little bit unyielding as an activist

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

i think being recreationally afraid, especially of minority groups, enhances bonds between members of sociological majority groups and thats why they do it with domestic cities, foreign cities, satanists, people who are not the same kind of christian they are, education in general, etc etc

it's so wild reading travel forums for literally anywhere and realizing what complete terror so many Americans live in constantly
