No one can say they didn’t know exactly what this was. Everyone knows this is genocide and everyone knows that everyone knows. It’s all dangerously out in the open. The only way to accept this is to see Palestinians as less than human. No peace or rest for such people ever again.

AC wasn't working most of the day today (during a heatwave). Got up to 78 in the house. Was on the phone with AC repair folks who were like we can have somebody out in July! Turned out the Nest thermostat was slightly nudged off its base, set it back and the compressor instantly kicked on smh

What I'm particularly disturbed by is using AI in situations where it's not immediately apparent it's being used. Menu item descriptions for example. From my perspective it just reduces user confidence in what they're buying
