Schools need parental permission to give your kid a fucking Tylenol, but MAGA thinks they’re secretly transitioning children behind their parents’ backs?
For fuck’s sake. Use your brain.
Chuck Grassley has been a U.S. Senator my entire life. He’s older than Barbie, The Hobbit, Disney’s Snow White, canned beer, jet engines, radar, helicopters, and ballpoint pens. He was 8 years old when the United States entered World War II. Iowa, what the fuck are you doing? TERM LIMITS NOW.
fact is you guys played around in english class your entire lives, not taking it seriously, reading the materials through online plot summaries and now you wonder why you don’t actually understand anything
So let me get this straight:
If I buy a DVD, digitize it for myself, I could potentially get hit with copyright issues.
But Al companies can scrape books, websites, articles, images, code, and other copyrighted material at massive scale to train their models.
Seems like the same rules that apply to regular people don't apply to big corporations.
Right wingers susceptibility to obviously insane "statistics" genuinely astounds me. They can seriously believe that 500,000 children are kidnapped every year, 80% of babies are dying three years in a row, it's not an issue for them. They don't have any kind of frame at all lol.
The key to being a conspiracy theorist is to have no concept of scale.
An 82% death rate would be millions of women. You wouldn't need a tweet to know about it. You would see it every where with your eyes.
If only there were some sort of, I don't know what to call it, maybe "price index," that contained 80,000 individual item prices from 75 geographic areas every month, including thousands of food items, that we could easily look up on the Internet rather than rely on anecdotes
If an AR-15 is covered by the 2nd Amendment, Flock surveillance is blocked by the 4th.
Don't simp for the police state by keeping your gun rights in 2026 and your privacy rights in 1791.
If a progressive outspent a centrist 9-to-1 in the midwest and still lost the conventional wisdom would be that their ideology was electoral deadweight the party needs to cut loose but because the opposite happened it’ll just be that college kids are too radicalized or something.
House prices are almost double what they were 6 years ago but you can still eat homemade burritos for cheap so the affordability crisis doesn’t exist.
They’re calling it the most spiritually boomer post of all time.
To be clear, Bernie Moreno has the same set of facts today that he has had for months. He didn't call for Max Miller to resign when it meant his daughter and granddaughter's safety. He did it because it started looking like a Congressional seat was at risk.
There are currently no openly transgender athletes actively competing in any major professional sports leagues these signs and current discourse is genuinely just to attack trans people for existing
People are AFRAID to pick on the most defenseless group of people in American society, whose existence is the primary fixation of half of Congress, the whole executive branch, and roughly 5/9ths of the Supreme Court. Pushing back against trans people is DANGEROUS
