Please stop saying “add -ai”; that’s not reliable! The real way is to use the “Web” tab instead of “All” below Can shortcut it by adding “&udm=14” to the url. there’s a bunch of ways to default to it. Odd ik but you are *guaranteed* not to trigger a genAI AI search this way

@anthonyzenkus @peterrhague The “Genocide Joe” moniker predated Oct 2023. It was coined by ~the vulnerable~ - the disabled, elderly, immunocompromised people who were and are continuing to be culled by the state’s manufactured end of the pandemic.

This will be our fourth Eid ‘celebration’ since losing our home and so many family members 💔 I had hoped to collect a few donations to buy clothes for the children and make them happy. Nothing makes me happier than bringing a smile to their faces 💕 chuffed.org/project/aid-an…

She's right. Mask up. But this has devolved into camps while Cuba stays under siege & disease spreads. Please: pack N95s like you pack water. Mitigation is part of aid infrastructure, it can't be an afterthought. Good can't be the enemy of perfect, but willful ignorance is wrong.

@SitsSteph Woo! Well done 👊😷

I've been so covid cautious for 6 years that I rarely go out, but for the past 2 weeks, I've been making a point to go out safely. 😷 I'm proud of my progress. Tomorrow I'm going out for pizza and eating outdoors. I don't want to hear covid is a cold. But you can applaud....

The one attempt our capitalist societies made to resolve the pandemic wasn’t enough, but rather than do better, they magicked it away. I know, odd given how well they handled cigarettes, climate crisis, etc. This isn’t the 1st time we’ve been misled. But to continue is on us.

“The Communists were determined to eradicate disease. In the 1930s, Mao joined the Chinese Communist Party’s Public Health Commission; in 1934, […] Mao placed public health at the top of the list for party work.” Not a slight, but rather an appeal for us to continue their work.

@BuckCllr @ItsLulu_7 But not here to debate poverty metrics. Just that there’s other socialisms than ones we hear about. There’s market socialism, libertarian socialism. I have family who are now obsessed with ideas of an economy of worker coops. Maybe theres some ideas youd appreciate too. Take care

@BuckCllr @ItsLulu_7 Fair. In liberal govts, there’s perverse incentives around funding. But like you say, they provide nothing = all the kids going hungry still aren’t helped. And in this case independent, non-govt groups, with their own methods (+ funding), report similar: ag.purdue.edu/cfdas/data/foo…

Capitalist society divides society into two great hostile camps: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat

@BuckCllr @ItsLulu_7 14,100,000 kids go hungry in the wealthiest nation on earth And absolutely, there is no shortage. We live in a system that produces more than enough food, but actively gatekeeps it from hungry children We’ve naturalized this for a long time, but people are demanding better

@itstimredd @ItsLulu_7 America, the fattest nation on earth. More people die of type 2 diabetes than hunger. There’s no shortage of food my friend.

This is cartoonish. A +21°F (+11.7°C) national anomaly over the 1991–2020 baseline is the kind of number you’d expect from a broken model run… not reality. Yet here we are. March 20th and the entire country looks like late May (or worse). Records falling coast to coast, warmth saturating everyregion. But sure—tell me more about how this is “natural variability.” 🤣

@BuckCllr @ItsLulu_7 Sadly you’re describing current life for the 99.5%; much too few of us have food, let alone housing or healthcare. Whatever brief moment capitalism did lift folks out of poverty is both long gone and came at the cost of immiserating our neighbors. We can and must do better

@ItsLulu_7 Whereas socialism divides society much more equally, where 99.5% of the population live in poverty and hunger with poor housing and health care, and the 0.5% who ‘run the means of production’ within the warmth of collectivism, live a life most billionaires could only dream of!

They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other censorship and surveillance provisions under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a tom of dumbass leftists are falling for it.

BREAKING: The White House is out with a new National Policy framework for AI. The proposal says: "States should not be permitted to regulate AI development." It also says that states shouldn't be able to penalize AI companies when people break the law with their models.

The US empire is doing everything it can to try to suffocate a small island nation of 11 million people. What the US is doing to Cuba is absolutely insane. It a barbaric medieval-style siege. The Trump admin is trying to starve Cubans to death and collapse their society.
