“There’s an app for that.”

Seriously the press conference today was so bad. He was off-scriot because he got pulled back in to the current events discussion by journalists, but wow.

I’d prefer decommodification of housing but UBI is probably a step in the right direction.

its actually funny, I think she made fun of the police for being fascists.

A surprisingly high number of leftists still use it as well.

My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.

Oh. This happened to me as a kid, like, 20 years ago during the ADHD “No child left behind” scare. All the teachers wanted every problematic student to be put on Ritalin. They even had the pills on hand, no doctor on premises, and would try to use this secluded secret room and other coercion tactics to try and get kids to try Ritalin.

No one was fired or arrested, it was suggested in an anonymous letter to the editor that the “bad teachers be let go” when they built and opened a new elementary school building.

Like I care. Amazon bought it, they have a monopoly, hey maybe these consumer facing startups would be more profitable if all the money wasnt already distributed so unevenly?

We have approved so much more vigilantism than this. Your house is your castle in so much of the US.

I think the problem is literal mobility and social mobility. The friction between me and having a social experience ia huge. I have to drive, pay money to be in a private business space, and it all has to be easy enough to make happen that I can do it alone. We mostly have businesses and activities that suit multiple people going together.

So I imagine if there were more parks, more kinds of public activities, there was transit where Im surrounded by people going to the same place who I can ask for advice - that would be a huge improvement.

Better the devil you know, I think McCarthy was more convenient for democrats than Mike Johnson, and that pissed off fascists whose careers will be just as short.

A few times a month, please

I have never even heard of giclee printing.

Wow wowow where can I join

I think palestinian relocation is more of a threat to western european refugee systems, if anything. Those consequences would be rotten.

Ha. Yeah genuinely its such a giveaway when they send Harris to say these things. They’re betting her reputation that this might blow up in their faces. Its either lies or a significant chance they are bluffing.

Thank you. Ha. I was very wrong and a quick wikipedia search would have given me the correct answer.

A refugee is someone who is actively fleeing a conflict. Who is essentially homeless and looking for refuge in a country that isnt their home.

This doesnt describe Palestinians. They have homes (again, until like last month when Israel forcefully displaced them and then destroyed Northern Gaza).

The narrative that all Palestinians are violent extremists is convenient for Israel. Thats why Israel has directly and indirectly supported Hamas and disenfranchised the other state and parties of Palestine that were more likely to find an agreement.

Palestinians are refugees

Every major country recognizes Palestine as a country except for the US and Israel.

Edit: this is horribly wrong, all of western europe holds the same position as the US, and the number of countries that recognize palestine is padded with a high number of countries that aren’t relevant to the conflict at all.

You’re right that other Muslim majority countries do not want to take in Palestinians as refugees, but you’re wrong that they are naturally refugees. They have homes, and half of their homes were bones into oblivion in these past few months.
