This is getting weird. All kinds of animals are trying to communicate with Whites --- as if wanting to ask: who's going to take care of them if Whites are replaced? https://t.co/A5T7Vv1H8G
I thought only mammals and primates were capable of this, but it looks like Bees, Hummingbirds, Moths, and Butterflies are also sensing the biggest termination of a species in the history of the Earth.

Sorry dog but you are not squirming your way out of this and convincing anyone you are a serious journalist. You blew it!!

porn is so deeply misogynistic. i just watched a video with dozens of performers going at it, and they literally hadn’t bothered to hire a single woman

“Agent O’Houlihan, fantastic work. You scored the highest on the Arabic exam, so we’re sending you to Yemen. You’re going in deep undercover as a farmhand. The one thing you absolutely cannot do is become addicted to khat.”

@butleriano i think by the time we need to worry about this every computer component will already have wireless capabilities anyway

@caninefaggot @Oof86583180 like i believe at the time that standard was set, they would likely have had to physically follow you from the border to quality for the border search exception. now they can probably track everyone crossing the border for much longer

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

Uh, does mean any federal officer in the 100-mile "border zone" can now demand to look at your phone?

[SCOTUS Wire @scotus_wire]

NEW: The Second Circuit ruled that federal officers may manually search travelers’ cellphones at the border without a warrant, probable cause, reasonable suspicion, or any individualized suspicion, holding that such searches are “routine” border searches.

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

@caninefaggot @Oof86583180 good to know but with all their access to commercial GPS and phone/ad data i bet any border officer can retroactively parallel construct "oh yeah we totally tracked them from the border"

@adamjohnsonCHI @mitchysuch @bigblackjacobin No, he calls himself Ed. Are you stupid?

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

I haven't seen a single leftist arguing that we shouldn't regulate AI companies. I have seen numerous leftists arguing that we should be suspicious that the OpenAI/Anthropic-proposed "pause" is a strategic move to get ahead of actual legislation.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

I've been covering politics since 2008. The anti-AI-regulation takes from the left (by no means all/most of the left; Bernie disagrees!!!) might be the most literally incomprehensible political position I've ever encountered.

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

@mitchysuch @adamjohnsonCHI @bigblackjacobin anyhow, while i think we are probably on the same page with AI utility, the rickety underlying finances could still fall out at any time as a matter of chance + the companies pushing stuff like "AI fridge tells you what to cook" will prob eat shit big time on those product lines

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

@mitchysuch @adamjohnsonCHI @bigblackjacobin some guy's takes on AI are not a "genuine issue" and this is just a non sequitur to some other gripe you have w ed

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

Nate is a journalist-- this is actually dishonest and would require a correction if it was in print

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

Ed Zitron has criticized OpenAI/Anthropic's self-pushed "slowdown" as not really regulation at all (AFAIK) and Emily Bender literally testified before Congress in favor of AI regulation. Straight up babble of the "actually my reality is preferable" vein. https://t.co/HkALPqBy5S

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

@GaryMarcus Just to stick to people I've publicly criticized before so as not to pick new fights, I think Ed Zitron and Emily Bender are probably the best examples.

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

@adamjohnsonCHI @bigblackjacobin anyone got some overalls and a hat to keep the crows away

This guy basically exists to warp understanding of issues around his personal anti-wokist biases
