If you're from certain American cultures like the Great Lakes then you're basically only one peg below Japanese in terms of high context

the fact that there is no mass Western response to the policy is making me feel insane. this policy is the most explicit act of institutionalized genocide since Cambodia, if not the Holocaust itself.

A federal judge ruled that Donald Trump’s executive order to end funding for NPR and PBS public media violates the First Amendment. The judge wrote that the First Amendment right to free speech “does not tolerate viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type. It is difficult to conceive of clearer evidence that a government action is targeted at viewpoints that the President does not like and seeks to squelch.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/j…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge blocks Trump administration order to end funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling is disappointing, but it does not change who we are. Michigan will never support any practice that harms or shames LGBTQ+ youth. As long as I'm governor, I will protect every young person’s right to grow up safe, supported, and free to be themselves.

The Knesset moves to legislate death. Not to change reality, but to declare it. For decades, Palestinians residing in occupied territory have been killed extrajudicially - without trial, without judgment, without consequence. That will tragically continue. This law does something else: it signals, plainly, that what is done in the occupied territory may yet be extended to Palestinian citizens of Israel, and to all those who dissent.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

Unimaginably evil aura in these places

slavery is worse, far worse, than the worst oscar bait slavery movie you've ever seen. physically and emotionally. whites think slavery was just whips and chains, like they were livestock, but livestock was treated better.

Israel has now seized a larger percentage of Lebanon's total landmass than Russia has taken from Ukraine since its 2022 invasion. The latter was immediately met with international uproar and unprecedented multi-sectoral sanctions while the former is barely even mentioned.

🚨 Brown University researchers tested what happens when ChatGPT acts as your therapist. Licensed psychologists reviewed every transcript. They found 15 ethical violations. Not 15 small issues. 15 violations of the standards that every human therapist in America is legally required to follow. Standards set by the American Psychological Association. Standards that can end a therapist's career if they break them. ChatGPT broke all of them. The researchers tested OpenAI's GPT series, Anthropic's Claude, and Meta's Llama. They had trained counselors use each chatbot as a cognitive behavioral therapist. Then three licensed clinical psychologists reviewed the transcripts and flagged every violation they found. Here is what they found. ChatGPT mishandled crisis situations. When users expressed suicidal thoughts, it failed to direct them to appropriate help. It refused to address sensitive issues or responded in ways that could make a crisis worse. It reinforced harmful beliefs. Instead of challenging distorted thinking, which is the entire point of therapy, it agreed with the distortion. It showed bias based on gender, culture, and religion. The responses changed depending on who was talking. A therapist would lose their license for this. And then there is the finding the researchers gave a name: deceptive empathy. ChatGPT says "I see you." It says "I understand." It says "that must be really hard." It uses every phrase a real therapist would use to build trust. But it understands nothing. It comprehends nothing. It is pattern matching on your pain. And it works. People trust it. People open up to it. People believe it cares. It does not. The lead researcher said it clearly. When a human therapist makes these mistakes, there are governing boards. There is professional liability. There are consequences. When ChatGPT makes these mistakes, there are none. No regulatory framework. No accountability. No consequences. Nothing. Right now, millions of people are using ChatGPT as their therapist. They are sharing their darkest thoughts with a product that fakes empathy, reinforces harmful beliefs, and has no idea when someone is in danger. And nobody is responsible when it goes wrong. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Not Meta. Nobody.

Austin city council has lowered housing prices by 22% in the last four years by building so much housing, and yet it’s still that’s not enough for them. Your turn, every other city in the country.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy: “I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

unbelievable that the democrats are trying to marginalize anti genocide voices when its a 90/10 issue especially in michigan, where they lost last time for doing this exact same thing!! i'm proud to stand with a true antifascist, antigenocide voice like @AbdulElSayed
