I really love the idea that the dickhead that runs the deep fake company is being given a platform to decide the future of education. I remember when y'all did actual journalism and not just puff pieces pitched by the PR flacks for oligarchs.

What do y'all think the chances that MAGA tries to pull a 'Weekend at Bernies' using AI when Trump dies? 50+%?

Yeah, come on people. They've done so many illegal and monstrous things in the 90s, the 00's, the 10's and even now. Keep current with your ghoul criticisms.
I get that, and agree in principle. But sometimes it's fun to cyber bully a politician or reporter who has beclowned themselves.
WTAF. If it were a person saying/doing these things they'd be looking at least a negligent homicide charge, if not something more serious.
I think the issue being highlighted here is that the leadership, who wield tremendous power around media buys and endorsements are not supporting the more outspoken Dems, and in some cases are actively trying to undermine them.
I see Lucy has teed up the football for you losers again. Maybe this will finally be the time! Right?
It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!
Important detail: John Brown was going around fighting and killing slaveowners with the sickest looking longsword I've ever seen
It's not socialism when Trump does it!
The fact that alt right dweebs Stan you says everything about you my dude.
Just some tunes to send you in to your weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJSu...
James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.
Jesus Christ. How do you write about this and not mention that Walters is doing this partially to deflect from getting caught watching porn during a board meeting, and also how do you not mention that Prager U's content is filled with historical inaccuracies? You guys fucking suck.
I know that you're concerned that some people are telling you to "unalive yourself" but that's short sighted. I want you to live long enough to stand trial for justifing the killing children. I want to see you in the doc crying as you realize you're going to be hung with the rest of the traitors.
Woof, two things. First off, Trump's post comes off as someone who is losing it in real time as it shifts from lower case to ALLCAPS. Second off, if you are a major media outlet, and your headline after reading this is 'Trump announces he will end mail in voting' than you are part of the problem.
Also, these people don't actually like reading they just like the idea of people thinking they do.
I feel like this raises two possibilities. That any book you can 'read' in a 5 min summary was either a book that probably didn't need to be that long. OR that you are an idiot who is unable to understand nuance and are letting a machine made of other people's aggregated opinions think for you.
Siri, is someone with dozens of felony convictions, multiple failed marriages and six bankruptcies a good negotiator? Because I feel like the answer is 'only if your shitrag newspaper desperately needs to spin the narrative away from all the failure, child abuse and nazi shit.'

Yeah, I feel this. I got laid off in the run up but obviously am still in touch with folks and watching the news and I'm not sure if we are going to have 'universities' as we currently understand them for much longer.
Going on TV to announce that you’re an enormous baby who is scared to go out in public has become a core tenet of the Republican Party.
Actual journalists would have pressed him on what he means by 'woke' since it's a nonsense buzzword that he refuses to unpack. But being actual journalists might mean you worthless pieces of shit don't get invited to all the DC cocktail parties.
To 'yes and' your point, and before some dweeb comes in and starts yelling about Thomas Sowell, they also hate and are afraid of the poors. It's like right-wing intersectionality.
'Charles Fain Lehman is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute' ah so he's following the long tradition of 'experts' who understand nothing of crime but sure as shit know they're afraid of cities and the people who live there. See also James Q Wilson.
Doing my part to bully you absolute fucking losers and collaborationists until you leave this platform, hopefully for whatever we call the new version of Nuremberg. Spoiler, some of you won't be there as 'journalists'.
I see you still are being quisling garbage. Don't you have a fawning profile of a billionaire to publish? That seems more your speed than trying to cover the news.
Lol maybe a shitty PHD from a diploma mill, but until it can accurately actually list the major theories in my discipline and not just hallucinate bullshit I'm going to say this is you guys getting played by a sociopath CEO to help him inflate his valuation. I'd say do better but I know you won't.
A business man? In charge of a nation? What could go wrong?
As funny/pathetic as this is, the whole 'but she had an orgasm' is a common talking point among sex predators/rapists because they believe that having an orgasm = consent.
Hmmm what factors might be limiting the desire of Californians to travel? Could it be the same reason a lot of my neighbors in the LA area are now carrying passports and copies of birth certs everywhere they go? If only there were a journalist who could investigate such questions...
Does the left need their own Sauron the Deceiver to craft rings of power as gifts for all free folk – only to, in secret, craft a Master Ring to bind them to his will?
Seeing a bit of angst about lack of vision in progressive politics both sides of the Atlantic. So once again I offer you St Lucian development economist Arthur Lewis’s sketch of what socialists want.
So I noticed in all the praise for Sanders and the chummy chat with the doctors there was no mention of cost, or price. Is this something that regular people making normal amounts of money can afford? Or is this something that only rich folks get and the rest of us get six feet of dirt on top of us?
If cishet men are having trouble getting laid, they should think about how basically every woman who is even slightly attracted to men threw her panties at Luigi Mangioni Killing capitalists is undeniably hot
Old NPR- here are some experts on the topic being discussed using their expertise to inform on the topic. Nu-NPR: IS THIS CLICK BAIT DISTRACTING YOU FROM ACTUAL NEWS? CLICK HERE TO FIND SOMETHING. I GUESS.
We've been having a great time at #GenCon — hard to believe that it's half over already! Come check us out at booth #529 to see the Eclipse Phase SCUM board game demo, learn about our upcoming weird fantasy RPG The Snarl, or get your hands on the latest Eclipse Phase!
I mean don't actually, you know, 'fuck' them, but more like 'fuck them by feeding them into a wood chipper groin first'. Apologies for any confusion my initial comments may have caused.
Fuck those regressive freaks.
Stopping for some gas station fish in rural Indiana. What's the worst that can happen?
This is so far over the line I don't even know where to begin. Trying to get students -- your own students -- expelled or deported because of political activism? Jesus, I won't even punch down at random college students on *social media*
The least shocking part of this is how many b-school profs are named. When I was faculty they were the biggest pack of bootlickers and narcs among the faculty. Racial justice, me too, a resolution banning professors from dating students? All opposed by our b-school faculty.
How do Trump's balls taste? I bet half your b-school has first hand knowledge.
What's up quislings? Leadership like yours is one of the main reasons I left academia. Middle management admins should not be making academic policy decisions against faculty but aligned with donors.
That's my rep, and she suuuuuuucks.
Any solidarity from you dingdongs? Or is access to power more important than ethics? I'm joking of course, Politico has always been about star-fucking loser ass politicians.
Looking forward to the truth and reconciliation hearings that'll put your quisling journalists on trial.
This reboot of the Dreyfus Affair sucks.
The other day I asked an LLM to give me the page count of every EP release. It game me only 8 results, 2 were hallucinations and do not exist, one was a Shadowrun product (Bug City), and 5 were our titles with wrong page numbers. It's astounding how bad these AIs are at even basic shit.
I think for people who don't watch Fox there is a lack of understanding of how normalized really heinous shit has become.
Are you credulous idiots going to cover this with the same lack of critical thinking as claims about 'clean coal'?
Would be a shame if the Latino community got access to information such as where she sleeps at night. Anyways pic unrelated

Yes, what we call the concentration camp is the vital thing here. Take your third way bullshit and go piss on the third rail you Nazi supporting dupe.
Who’s Behind the Deportations? Meet the agents. Hold them accountable. icelistcd.com
Before we get to 'can' we need to address 'want to' and so far the answer to that one seems to be 'no, not as long as value goes up.'
Is AI running NPR now? Because this reads like a story AI would write to make itself look good.
Rivals like children, doctors, aid workers, teachers. You know, rivals.
Hell yeah.
Uh oh, it looks like the premium child labor app is having trouble with pedos fucking with their video game sweatshop for the children of overworked parents. Again. I wonder if hiring a crisis communications firm will work for them. Again.
And what a sad statement on current events that is.
He really is isn't he?
Sup couch fucker. You make me ashamed to be from Ohio. Go lick a toilet.
They were usually business majors or student athletes who needed an elective and we're taking it pass/no pass.
Oh shit my favorite kind of article! The one where Gladwell takes research from thirty years ago and pretends he's 'discovered' something new.
They don't major in it, but colleagues and I used to get conservatives in gender studies classes and they were almost always there to just be disruptive.
Our mighty military hardware – revered and feared by nations all! – assembled in the capital, parading by the Mall. But the whole “Dear Leader” vibe really casts a pitiful pall. It screams: His daddy didn’t love him and his d*ck is really small.
Here is a link to one of the big local papers: www.startribune.com
statement from the WestLos Rapid Response Network re: rumors of nannies kidnapped at the park: Please rely on updates from community groups on the ground. Sometimes things spread like wildfire & it’s tough to control the misinfo Always remember to ask- where did they hear this? & how do they know?
I just love the idea of 'professional anarchists'. Like, sir? You clearly don't know any actual anarchists, because 'professional' is not a word you'd ever use to describe them. Hell, occasional is sometimes a stretch.
NEW: Is your personal data being weaponized against you when you shop? Are you paying a different price for products than anyone else? Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains the shady corporate tactic known as “surveillance pricing.”
Ah, I hear the PodSave bros are shitting on anarchists and more radical protestors again. Yes, anyone who believes in anarchism must be too stupid to read the Atlantic or listen to podcasts, we just want to burn everything! Mwahaha?
Hey friend-o's, please tag me or share as needed. If anyone has links to mutual aid, bail relief or other forms of mutual aid for LA or any other affected cities please drop them here. My ass is too old to be out there mixing it up, but I can be a good information relay.
Brace yourselves, people are going to suddenly be experts about the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. This is why Miller/Trump are trying to push the Insurrection Act bs despite courts repeatedly striking down their arguments, if a court agrees then they can deploy troops against US Citizens
I used to teach intro to criminal justice and the one that I found that would often open that crack to let the light in was '"The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison" by Jeff Reiman. It's old but still mostly holds up as a gateway to deeper discussions about criminal justice reform.

The are line dancing in the middle of the protest while shouting Fuck ICE
Also Karen Bass is like all other establishment Democrats, shes okay with fucking over her constituents if it means she retains power and wealth. Expecting Dems to 'do the right thing' is a path of endless disappointment.
Karen Bass is bragging about how state and local cops are pushing protestors off the freeway. "they were overrun... they have moved the protestors back" She says the National Guard was deployed only to protect federal buildings, which is why state and local cops are doing the dirty work.
We found out that ICE is staying at the AC hotel in #Pasadena and now there's a couple of hundred people protesting #NoICE
Trump has signed a memorandum deploying 2000 National Guard to Los Angeles—the next step in his power grab. The best thing that people can do in solidarity is to take action outside LA. They want to isolate and suppress us one by one. Stand up in solidarity. crimethinc.com/posters/the-...
If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 877-447-4487
Local LA news really carrying a lot of water for the cops tonight. Lots of just taking their PR bullshit uncritically.
I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.
Please PLEASE don't try to figure out who the skateboard kid is PLEASE if you're gonna make them a meme please leave the actualperson the fuck alone cops murdered visible protestors from Ferguson and 'fun' internet sleuthing is policing
LAPD denies assistance to ICE to leave area. Sheriff also denies assistance to ICE. ICE is trapped by the people of Paramount. Live streamer : “They’re gonna have to call their daddies to come get them”

Ugh, he just gets better. 😩
This is a hell of a thing to read.
Fucking ghouls, this shit is going to age like spoiled milk. Imagine doing a soft focus wholly credulous puff piece in 1939 on the Nazi who runs the detention camps in Bavaria and how much she likes her job. Do better.
