I spent the last week digging through old articles and studies on racist policy like segregation, redlining, war on drugs etc.
It’s SHOCKING how many “.gov” addresses and resources now end in “404 not found”
They’ve deleted so much nobody realizes is gone.
the best part about all this is that the GUARD Act doesn't even ban AI chatbots for minors and only forces everyone who gets close to AI to upload their IDs online. we're protecting minors by forcing everyone to give their govt IDs to Sam Altman and Peter Thiel
This is how you "fly under the radar" in the US btw. Parents who are as weird as their kids and stonewall any form of assessment because "she's just like us". Meanwhile the school staff are tearing out their hair trying to figure out how to intervene w/o needing parental consent
neurodivergents often feel the need to clarify things hours/days after they said it because we grew up being constantly misunderstood & getting in trouble for miswording or being too blunt & can't stand the thought of people misunderstanding what we actually mean.

James Van Der Beek spent the last year of his life fundraising for cancer treatment.
