What is Apple supposed to do to stop this? Do you really want Apple AI-scanning all of your photos to look for illegal content? I know I don’t want that.

They remember what it was like before cars had emissions rules. The Republicans remember leaded gasoline, and they want it back.

The Holy Roman Empire in the year 1618, on the eve of the 30 Years' War. I've been working on this map for a week or two, and I finally had the time to finish it. I'm very proud of how it turned out!

The concept of an age-dependent minimum wage is especially disgusting. Your labor is worth the same as anyone else’s, no matter your age. Whether it’s for under-20s, under-18s, or anyone else, the minimum wage should meet the cost of living.

You know who else outnumbers police in every city and state? Criminals. And yet somehow police can keep on arresting them The fact is you guys are cowards who think small and won't try. Stop being afraid. You know who's a bigger coward? ICE. They will cry like babies when real cops bring the cuffs

Private prisons turn a profit by depriving people of their human rights. It’s time that ALL of them, every person involved in this evil industry, are held accountable.

There needs to be some kind of accountability for law enforcement agents who arrest people without cause. It should be a criminal act to deprive people of their freedom unjustly.

Hot take, we should not normalize conspiracism at all on the left, under any circumstances. The facts and evidence are on our side, we don’t need to engage in anti-intellectualism to win. It’s dangerous and counterproductive.

“Are we the baddies?”

People are now discovering that rights only exist when the government cares about them. The law isn’t some supernatural force, it ceases to exist when it isn’t enforced.

Probably because these people don't just want immediate forgiveness, but they still want to maintain their perceived status. They consider themselves "thought leaders" and thus see it as completely reasonable to demand that everyone they declared to be hysterical listen to them now.

The Party tells us not to believe our own eyes and ears.

Start arresting them, then. Your “leadership” has been so disappointing lately.

I believe everyone should be able to live in whatever society they want. I frankly don’t care if they’re “illegal” or not, the law is simply wrong on this issue.

The next administration needs to go on a crusade against surveillance. Public or private, foreign or domestic, we cannot tolerate any surveillance anywhere under any conditions.

Lots of nice, thin blood pouring through his heart, into his hand.

ICE is now doing “Free Candy” strategies. Cartoonishly evil.

This strategy worked famously well when Biden tried it.

Trillions of dollars have been spent reorganizing the economy and “shaking up” society for useless generative AI. Us common people had no choice in this, and yet we’re the ones who will have our futures stolen away when the bubble pops.

That thing looks like it has at most 6 seats. That is not a bus, it’s a mid-sized van. A city like DC needs real, full-size busses (or better yet, trams), not automatic vans.

Greenland is definitely important for NATO security, so it’s a good thing that Greenland is already part of NATO.

I don't understand US peeps going on about the Epstein files. You all know he's guilty already. He's got secret police kidnapping, attacking and killing people already. He's effectively resigned you from NATO and is threatening a war against the rest of us. It's not distraction.

I have never seen anyone try to make a software update sound scary, until now

A lot of the left’s conversation around Mamdani is about whether he is a socdem, or a genuine socialist constrained by the system. Statements like this give me a lot of hope that he’s the latter. The idea that people are entitled to cheap/free entertainment strikes me as distinctly socialist.

This is murder, plain and simple.

And of the few notable exceptions, the first one that comes to mind for me is Mina Bonteri, who was assassinated by Dooku for trying to negotiate a peaceful end to the Clone Wars.

I agree, New York Post, it’s bad when landlords overcharge for rent.

Most importantly, if you are contagious with anything: ✅ Stay home

Eugenics is bad, and furthermore, if you support eugenics you are evil.

I caught shit on here once for saying that I would never vote for Newsom. I’d like to take this opportunity to say that I will NEVER vote for Newsom, and I will never vote for anyone else who praises Reagan either.

The transphobes have found this app, finally. It took them long enough.

The UK, for all its faults, just granted 16 year olds the right to vote. I hope other countries will grant that right to their young people. Meanwhile, what Australia is doing is not progress. This is the opposite of progress. It will isolate young people and keep them politically ignorant.

Yeah, we COULD build new units in desirable urban areas… but have you considered that there are empty houses in West Virginia you could move to instead?

As an astronomer, standard time vs daylight time is my favorite realistically-not-a-big-deal issue to make a big deal out of. Give me year-round standard time or give me death!

"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives." "Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent." "[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment." #USA #Healthcare #Suicide

I hate that the left accepts the kind of anti-nuclear science-illiterate people who are infesting the replies to this post. Nuclear is the most sustainable and most environmentally friendly power source for the long term.

Is President Trump tired of winning yet?

Theory: Marjorie Taylor Greene had a traumatic head injury some time in the past few weeks and she woke up a completely different person. Sort of the opposite of what happened to Fetterman.

Awful!

ABOLISH THE SENATE

This would be a bit more understandable if he was talking about teenagers and not 30 year olds.

Call me crazy, but I don’t think mass killings of POWs is a good thing. Especially when they’re just rank and file soldiers. ESPECIALLY when they’re your own countrymen.

Hot take, mass surveillance (be it government- or corporate-led) is and always has been a bad thing.

Amtrak enjoyers stay winning, airlinecels stay losing

“You’re all wrong and deranged” is a famously effective political strategy

I would expect to see things like this under a Democratic administration, but who do these people think has control over the weather controlling machines during a Republican admin? Do they think it’s directly controlled by the DNC or something?

If you’re using AI for research, the most important thing is to verify everything. Make sure the articles it gives say what it claims they do. Make sure the print sources it gives you actually exist. Make sure any events it talks about actually happened.

Agreed. There are no “apolitical” institutions, and pretending the Supreme Court is apolitical is harmful. We should fold their duties into Congress (and abolish the Senate, while we’re at it).

Always has been

What a beautiful scenario!
