Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly
Jubilee has been holding these "Surrounded" debates for years now. Has any one other than this whiny bitch -- The Dumbest Man in Media™ -- cried afterward about how their life was endangered and needed "my guy Joey" to protect them?
The Jubilee studio is filled with security.
One 4% down day in the Nasdaq and the White House is already orchestrating an AI bailout
This is what happens when you create a Ponzi-economy that only works with ever-increasing asset prices
Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:
"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."
Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.
Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.
It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".
Did everyone just block out reading The Lorax as a kid? Is nature nothing more than a sad pic to scroll by in our current human-constructed “reality”?
This is so very shameful and sad. If you’re not already, get involved. Push back.
Nature’s karma is reality.
