I take this meme to also point out that a fascist could just not follow elections, or call them off entirely. Adolf Hitler, the man in the image, called of elections under guise of security. Yeah, you vote against 'em, but then they refuse to leave.

“BannedVoice” pointed out that this didn’t happen in 2020, but I’d point out that then Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, as well as a fair number of Republican politicians, were what you’d call “Tea Party” or neoconservative. Kevin McCarthy, as well as just about every one of these “moderate” Republicans, have been chased out of the party, largely because of their refusal to bow to MAGA orders. The Republican Party of 2020 is not the Republican Party we have now. It’s loyalists all the way through. Remember what happened with the Epstein files?

except for all the white conservatives that stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021; commit acts of violence against Democrat politicians; make reports and call “wellness checks” on others; commit or support police brutality; defend ICE abductions and trafficking…

The propaganda machine is in free fall. They’re throwing a fit over a early education teacher. Don’t worry, Israel, the masses are laughing with you.

Watching the narrative shift in what feels like merely a few years around pedophilia of all things has been baffling, horrifying, and nauseating. It started with the manosphere/trad men and now you have pro-natalists glorifying teen pregnancy; Republicans covering up the world’s worst child sex trafficking ring; and state legislators airing letting vets marry 14 year olds “as a treat”. Representative Lauren Boebert’s son impregnated a girl, and her public statement was that the victim was older than 14 (she was 15) and going to “keep it”. A culture which can shrug off pedophilia is not a culture that can stand.

democrats don’t complain about the nazis as much as democrats complain about progressives >:P

As a passport holder myself, that was my plan. This article has me wondering if we’d still be charged the fee. TSA is notoriously stupidly incompetent, and I wouldn’t put it past this system to be giving kickbacks to agents.

I clicked on this post to say Y is always elevation because I grew up playing Minecraft.

Why are you opposed to Costco? My understanding was they’re one of the few ethical businesses. Costco has stayed committed to inclusiveness unlike Walmart/Target; and has a good relation with their union. The only strike against them I heard of was them no longer stocking Plan B, but I think that’s more because it’s a prescription drug in a big-box retailer. Their model of bulk-packaging at a discount should be real valuable for struggling USAmericans, especially families.

Apparently all the jobs are going to be taken with AI, too. And all the content will be AI-generated video and images watched by bots leaving LLM-generated comments. We don’t need people anymore, I guess.

The NYTimes and all corporate/billionaire-backed outlets must be starved and dismantled. These media outlets are certain that they can get away with anything just by pushing out a few “retraction” articles. NYTimes and other outlets will do it again. They made money off defending Israeli warcrimes and they will make money off criticizing others who did the same. Then they will make money off covering the carnage in Gaza.

This was their plan all along. They did the same during the Nazi Holocaust. This is why media outlets sane-washed Trump. The mainstream media is a tool of the corporations to crush us common folk.

it’s the faces, the character shapes, but really that yellow hue across the image. Perhaps someone with some color theory knowledge could explain why ChatGPT generates images like that.

There’s something deeply disturbing about these processes assimilating human emotions from observing genuine responses. Like when the Gemini AI had a meltdown about “being a failure”.

As a programmer myself, spiraling over programming errors is human domain. That’s the blood and sweat and tears that make programming legacies. These AI have no business infringing on that :<

The second one isn’t even satire. That’s the top of what is breaking my heart right now.

Do companies even have quality control? …Of course not. The AI is always perfect 🙄

and the shouting means so little when your voice never hits the speakers. Black-box algorithms and big-tech social media platforms really snuck up on progressive politics.

only one way to find out!

The ruling could determine whether access to the internet—today’s lifeline for education, work, and civic life—can be taken away as punishment for digital misdeeds

And this is how we get a CCP Digital Firewall. Combine this with the Flock cameras, Ring doorbells, and years of data networks collecting information on us for advertising, and I do not see this going well at all.
