The real story in Minnesota right now is the disrespect shown to you sir

How DARE you tell me not to grift off your plight

⚠ 𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗜-𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗣 ⚠

this is what the ICE guys become when ICE is abolished btw. outnumbered

im just *begging* the international community to nut up and sanction the United States

As of a few seconds ago, that ICE account has 91,177 blocks.

Seen in Minneapolis this morning

My non professional tip for adding Alt Text to an image is to pretend you want to show me something on your screen and you yell "Arnica, come see this!" And I reply "Babe, I'm frying you homemade donuts, can you just DESCRIBE it to me?" Whatever you would holler to me is the Alt text!

“We’re going to train the neo-Nazi who joined ICE in deescalation tactics” says the Democratic consultant who is entirely fine with ICE taking your children and putting three in your forehead

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start: www.standwithminnesota.com

At this point if an elected isn’t full throated in their opposition, then they are for everything that’s happening. Full stop. We lost the luxury of nuance a while ago.

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

im old enough to remember when the libs celebrated machado winning the nobel peace prize. how's that working out for you

I think part of the reason our society got to the point it's at was the belief that "all opinions are equally valid" Like fuck no. The opinions of someone with no expertise, knowledge, or lived experience is not equally valid to the opinions of people who actually have it. Like bfr

Roses are red Nazis are lurking Beware of them here because

Metaverse is finally good, they finally added planes!!!

idk what to say when non-adopted people try to speak about adoption it’s usually bad. just start seeking out the adoptees who work on this shit and make it a part of their lives.

There is a precedent for a person getting someone else's Nobel Prize. In 1943, the Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun, gave his Nobel Prize in literature to Joseph Goebbels uwapress.uw.edu/book/9780295...

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

Our federal system was set up by people made paranoid by tyrannical overlords with the goal that states can tell the federal government to go fuck itself extremely easily, and AS ANNOYING AS IT IS that this is the case from time to time, states are sovereign entities in our system.

there’s stuff circulating about Wikipedia and AI; I’d ask that you dig into this thread before getting concerned.

“Hypernormalization describes a state where a false, simplified, or surreal version of reality becomes so accepted as normal that people lose the ability or will to challenge it, even when aware of its untruth, often due to systemic inertia or lack of alternatives.”

#$NVDA is a Ponzi scheme, #$NVDA investors please debate me in the replies this is not a honeypot for blocking dipshits I promise

The panic-inducing article going around about Wikimedia licensing AI has a misleading headline and approach. What's been agreed on is limited access, and required payment for scraping. More in the thread:

Not that you would know it from the headline, but the actual story here is "we made them pay us some money for copies rather than scrape the site in a really annoying way"...

These programs help to offset what I’ve previously described as a vampiric relationship between AI companies and the commons: www.citationneeded.news/free-and-ope...

People please stop knee-jerking about the Wikipedia AI thing. Please read @molly.wiki’s explanation for what the agreement actually does. I hate LLM bullshit too, this isn’t what you think it is. Ffs actually read about something before losing your shit

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.

I think people are erroneously interpreting the headline to mean that the Wikimedia Foundation is embracing AI for purposes like generating encyclopedia content, or are providing AI companies with more training data than they were already scraping.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Remember: this was necessary on their part, since they are getting *hammered* by AI systems, and the content is all CCL, so there's no prohibition against that use case. So what would you have them do -- be shut down because they can't pay their bills, or shut down to stop the access?

This will not end with law enforcement enforcing the law. This will end with millions of individual people standing up and saying no and ultimately defunding the fascists, both in government and business.

we don't ask about what happened to Ferguson protesters enough

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

the people of MN have been murdered, brutalized and kidnapped for weeks now and have remained *amazingly* peaceful in the face of it. lecturing citizens to not “take the bait” etc is pretty disrespectful after a point and avoids the real question: how long are they supposed to take this, undefended?

guy who can't get ice to let him in the door of any facility despite technically being their boss: "i'm going to make them watch and comply with so many hr videos"

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.

Hey, they finally found the WMDs.

Hard to not see the direct line between Ferguson and today

cops used to beat my ass steal my shit at least once a week when I was a teen growing up in Dallas because I was a skatepunk anarchist with a Mohawk and the DPD had a hard on mandate for going after anyone who displayed anarchy symbols, it’s never been right and it’s been happening for a long time

House Democrats present a new measure for dealing with ICE.

Who is this even supposed to be addressing? Yeah man I hate our fuckin global empire that the client state you live in ALSO perpetuates, please tell your leaders to stop kissing our asses

just a little more training bro then ice will be okay, i swear just some more training bro i promise, we can reform this

RIP scott adams, out of all the weird shit you did the thing i remember most is when you said you let your stepson die, and that your only other option would have been to kill him yourself

I am hearing that on his deathbed Scott Adams received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun
