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

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.

the relief convoy to Cuba was planned and announced with ample time for concerns to be raised and critique to be given. it’s kinda weird to now start up with “OMG you guys can bring DISEASES!!!” when comrades are already there, or on the way. hateration is not principled.

@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

Tim 😷@itstimredd·1d

@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.

The Global Warmer🔥🌏 🔥@TheGlobalWarmer·1d

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

English

🇬🇧Cllr Kevin Buck 🇬🇧@BuckCllr·1d

@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.

Bloomberg@business

The Treasury Department added Cuba to a list of countries restricted from taking delivery of Russian oil after a tanker of the fuel appeared to be headed to the island, which is under a US naval blockade bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Macron has not uttered one word of condemnation of the Israel-US war on Iran. He did not condemn Israel when it blew up fuel storage in Tehran, exposing millions to toxins. His current "concern" didn't follow Israel's attack on our gas facilities. It follows our retaliation. Sad!

Emmanuel Macron@EmmanuelMacron

I have just spoken with the Emir of Qatar and President Trump following the strikes that hit gas production facilities in Iran and Qatar today. It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities. Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.
