The framing and reframing of the actual issues by the media enough to make you feel like you're having a stroke. Nonstop gaslighting.

Bold to feature an image of a net on the backstop. Implies that the non-net portion of the image is also a representation, possibly of another backstop, or a semiotically devastating representation of the *same backstop*. They should have branded it "DROWNIN' (in PARADOX)"

As a waiter for many years I can't stand it because it's such a love letter to the self-importance of kitchen staff. Chefs already take themselves so seriously, they don't need the encouragement!

The headline writers that have served us so well thus far are going to have a blast under Trump: "Hillary Whines About Prison Chow"... "Hundreds of 'Vermin' Snared in Border Dragnet, President Says"... "'Groomer' Bar Burned, Arson Suspected"... "Polio Cases Soar into Thousands"

Using the category "partisan animosity" does in fact imply apples-to-apples equivalence. A thing on one side, mirrored on the other. Righteous rage or raging bigotry? Let's put them both in one bucket called "partisan animosity." In the name of objectivity.

I don't think it's chasing clout to observe that "polarization" is not a helpful or insightful framing of this moment, and that we see some version of this story approximately one million times a week.

Former Windows content person here. The issue is usually executives who want to make their mark by changing everything. There's no career benefit to incremental improvements that honor user intent, which was abandoned years ago in favor of "engagement," i.e. behavior manipulation.

Raz Segal was not allowed to direct a genocide studies institute at the University of Minnesota because he said this project is genocidal. The people who silenced him are actively laundering this.

So just a murky both sidesy kinda thing I guess? And not something that, as practiced by one side, is part of a larger insurrectional effort to install a christofascist regime. Thanks for clearing that up for your listeners.

People who aren't Black can never understand what it is to have your actual hair, the stuff that grows out of your head according to the blueprint your genes give it, such a site of riotous contention, & so violently socially controlled.

“The forced implementation of AI into applications is meant not to make them easier to use but to break our resistance; “AI” not only requires and rationalizes far more intensive surveillance of users, it takes users’ agency away on principle and tries to sell us that submission as convenience.”

As usual Asian people have been left out of the discussion about masks and hate. Asian people have been attacked throughout the pandemic for wearing a mask. A mask ban would further stigmatize mask wearing and encourage further harassment and violence against mask wearers.

The songs are great. The characters vivid and fantastic. It's not restrained or tasteful or cool, it's fucking epic! People love it and not because they're all stupid rubes.

Algorithms now so good at guessing what you want that you can't listen to Sade or even see Sade songs when you search "Sade" because, according to your data profile, you are not a Sade listener.

I don't mean to be repetitive but "AI" is being abused by the brunchlord extraction class to replace real truth-to-power journalism with hollow automated, engagement-chasing infotainment simulacrum in a bid to make money and distract the public from widespread corruption and societal decline
