I saw that the new tos makes all tweets available for ai training.

I thought I’d be here until the end. Fuck ai. Fuck the asshole who bought this site and fucked it all up. I’m done.

Have you ever watched a baby die of pertussis? I have. Several.

This is what it looks like:
A newborn baby can’t stop coughing. They can’t catch their breath and they can’t eat. They get dehydrated and stop peeing. They sometimes have pauses in their breathing. Parents are terrified so they come to the ER.

In the ER, labs show they have a dangerously high white blood cell count. Their blood has become thick from the white blood cells and doesn’t travel through organs like it should. Less oxygen gets delivered to vital organs. They start to seize. Imaging reveals they had a stroke. They can’t pump blood to their lungs and body.

A breathing tube gets placed in their trachea. They get put on a ventilator. A plastic catheter is placed in their veins and arteries to give them medicine and measure blood pressure.

If they are lucky, they can make it to a #PedsICU that provides #ECMO, or full heart lung bypass. They are attached to machines that take over all their body functions.

But it’s too late. Their hands and feet turn black because they can’t perfuse their bodies. Their faces turn grey/green. They won’t stop seizing from the brain injury.

They are attached to too many machines to hold while alive and parents lay their bodies on top of them and cry until they fall asleep then cry again.

There is nothing to do but stop the machines. Antibiotics to treat pertussis were given but were no match for the infections effects on a newborn baby.

Parents finally hold their baby after the machines have turned off and their baby is cold and lifeless.

Is this what you want? This is what RFK Jr will bring to American families.

He just won re-election to House - and can’t be AG unless confirmed by Senate next year

So why now? Because House Ethics Committee is about to make decision on Gaetz’s alleged underage sex trafficking - in TWO DAYS

@RepDonBeyer Buddy if you can’t stop this ish from happening, there’s no reason to bring it up. Everyone already knows that horse is back in the hospital.

@SenWarren Liz, what are the consequences for breaking the law? Who’s going to enforce those consequences and how? If there are no consequences, the law isn’t real. It’s more like a recommendation.

Hop to it. What happens next?

The common enemy here is White supremacy. Period.

DC's hottest club? The Kamala Harris Ellipse Rally. It has everything. Your friends, that guy you made out with at Mission once before realizing who he voted for, the dreams of your ancestors resting on your shoulders

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Billionaires know that Trump will exact revenge if they endorse Harris and he wins but that Harris will not exact revenge if she wins and they didn't endorse anyone. That's what these non-endorsements are about.

They could also just regulate assault weapons

President Obama reciting Eminem lyrics is peak millennial activation.

Men will vote Republican for decades because they can’t accept light regulation on guns and then act astonished when women have opinions about dying from sepsis.

this. if you’re truly anti-AI that includes character AI, chatGPT, ALL OF IT. character AI steals from fanfiction writers to create the “characters” people talk to. chatGPT steals from writers. none of it is acceptable or okay to use. value writing the same way you do art.
