This isn’t a humanitarian campaign, this is a PR campaign for the Americans in an attempt to save face following the horrific Flour Massacre.
And the Israelis will find a way to eliminate this aid too.
It’s incredibly troubling that, just as we’re grappling with a technology (AI) that has the potential to rewrite history on a truly mind-bending scale, we’re also seeing more and more archives disappear from the internet.
That’s our tether to reality that is being erased.
Instead of begging the Biden admin to stop corps from scalping shitty chicken nuggets, we should all start meal prepping together before it's criminalized. Food costs have gone up by over 100% in less than a year, it couldn't be more clear that we're on our own
they never even released her name… im telling y’all they do NOT want us to know about these kinds of protests bc they don’t want them to work / happen again. we have to keep it in the public memory or the media will erase it
Ireland just unanimously voted to impose sanctions on Israel
AND prevent US weapons access to their airspace en route to Israel
AND adopted a push for an international arms embargo on Israel
Over the past few months I’ve seen so many think pieces about how protests block traffic and how the point of protest is to get people to like you but a man self-immolates on a side walk not blocking traffic and y’all are still angry with a dead man…
How can anyone continue to trust statements from the Israeli army?
1. They said they found a paper with “Hamas terrorist names” in a hospital - the paper had days of the week written on it in Arabic…Monday, Tuesday…etc
2. They said they’re “sending incubators” to hospital, knowing full well the issue is not lack of incubators, it’s the army’s prevention of fuel to run them and the whole hospital. They let 3 premature babies die, and dozens of other ICU patients too. They also bombed the maternity room in that same hospital, said it wasn’t them, then @nytimes confirmed it was an Israeli shell.
3. They showed a fake video of a nurse in a hospital in Gaza saying “hamas is not letting them leave”, it was later uncovered that the woman was an Israeli actor. Video was proven to be staged.
4. The said they helped a 79 year old man get safe passage, his family confirmed he was shot with two bullets in his back by a sniper, and k!lled.
5. They said they targeted a car with terrorists in Lebanon, it had three little girls and their mom and grandmother. Only the mothers survived.
And there are so many more examples.
Either they’re the most incompetent propagandists in history, or they’re producing stuff for an audience they know is ignorant enough to drink the kool aid time and time again.
It’s wild how many Americans are so used to being exploited that they see another worker with a good union contract and say “what makes you think you deserve that?”
Instead of “I should be getting that too.”
the prelude to this was firing, marginalizing, and intimidating in-house researchers, mostly women, on algorithmic harm, who documented actual and plausible abuses visited upon poor and PoC, before pivoting to white boy scifi "existential risk" scenarios
No one can tell you what 'advanced AI' is.
But it is worth remembering that some communities and people already face existential risks from 'simple' AI systems today that deny their healthcare, target them for police surveillance, remove their benefits, etc.
TW: Lynching
The lynching of Jordan Neely is what happens when you blame every violent thing that happens in this country on mental illness because while it excuses violent behavior from white people, it criminalizes mental illness in Black people.
The man who choked him
The Governor of Kansas has just vetoed a gender affirming care ban as well as a bill that would write transgender Kansans out of all laws.
This is an identical bill to the one Rep Zephyr stood against in Montana and was silenced by Republicans for doing.
Thank you, Gov Kelly.
Don’t forget “everywhere is understaffed,” “millions of ppl are disabled”, “every flight is delayed,” “every hospital is overwhelmed,” “every kid is continually sick,” “proliferating brain fog is causing accidents”, “younger ppl are dropping dead of heart attacks”….
