Yup. Global Warming is literally burning and flooding people to death, but political leaders and citizens are focussed on UFOs and aliens. Where are the hearings on how the oil industry knew this was happening and covered it up? If you are looking for a conspiracy to hide something huge from the world, that would be a good place to start.
Message sent. One of the cosponsors of this madness is one of my Senators. We need universal healthcare. Instead, we get a proposed universal tracking system for people to access the internet. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
I have used SanDisk cards for years, without issue. They are a huge manufacturer of flash memory, which is why their prices were always good. It is certainly possible and even probable that the quality has gone down. All kinds of companies lower their product's quality and reliability to make them cheaper to increase profits.
I believe the phrase is:
"Lock him up! Lock him up!"
Seriously, put his ass in home confinement, slap on an ankle monitor and take away all of his electronics because he can't behave himself.
That's the point of the "culture war" that is currently manifesting as a war against "wokeness." As long as conservatives are distracted into hating LGBTQ and minorities, the working class will be split and will not have the ability to fight against the people truly responsible for the mess we are in.
The indoctrination works exceeding well, too. I have a relative who voted for Al Gore because of his stance on the environment. Fast-forward to now, and she is posting things on Facebook supporting the overall Republican agenda (Not supporting Trump or DeSantis, but still very conservative.) Basically, a bunch of family stuff including prolonged illness and eventual deaths made her a much more unhappy person, and the right-wing propaganda is designed to pick up people like that and bring them into the machine.
Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years.
The magazine name is Modern Misogyny and rule 1 is "No bigotry - misogyny...".
That is like dividing by zero.
Right now, it appears to exist only with one user posting to himself. It is not a big problem. However, if you don't clean these things up quickly, you end up with a Nazi bar. Voat started out very Libertarian, but by the time it closed, its front page was dominated by hard-core antisemitism, it literally became a Nazi hang-out. Tolerance of intolerance ends up allowing the intolerance to spread and become the majority. kbin.social can not end up like that.
Fixed. Sorry about that!
[News]Rudy Giuliani may have assigned volunteer to Arizona 'audit', new emails show
Newly released emails from the Ariz. Senate show a Republican volunteer telling 'audit' leaders that Giuliani's office had contacted her about effort.
Newly released emails from the Ariz. Senate show a Republican volunteer telling 'audit' leaders that Giuliani's office had contacted her about effort. Selected excerpts below:
---
Phoenix Republican Linda Brickman wrote Senate "audit" leaders on April 11, 2021, and told them Giuliani's office called her and asked for her help on the recount.
---
"I was just asked to help on the AZ Audit starting on April 22nd for 15 days," Brickman said in her email. "This is all under the authorization of Christina Bobb, who works with Rudy."
Bobb, who serves as one of Trump's lawyer, reported on the "audit" while working for the far-right One America News Network. She also acted as a go-between for Trump and Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan, the lead contractor on the ballot review.
The email is the latest evidence of Trump's long reach into the ballot review and demonstrates how his allies instigated the deeply flawed recount of 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County and later used it to promote unproven claims of election fraud to a national audience.
---
Brickman's email stating Giuliani's office and Bobb authorized her work on the audit seemed to catch other officials off guard.
"Having just received a call from Rudy Giuliani's office a few moments ago, I thought I would quickly fill you in," Brickman wrote.
Officials with the ballot review pushed back and advised her only the Senate liaison could schedule volunteers: "If your information or invitation doesn't come from Ken Bennett or Julie Fisher to be an volunteer observer, please disregard it," they wrote from the Senate's "audit" email account.
It appears the response did not affect her participation in the "audit." On her LinkedIn page, she prominently notes her role "as a member of the AZ Audit team as an Observer to help secure Election Integrity in our State."
Brickman is a Republican activist who joined the Arizona Tea Party Patriots Association in 2011, worked on Ted Cruz's presidential campaign and served as an Arizona delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention in 2016.

Bobb is a former U.S. Marine who worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the Trump administration. She is best known as the former host of "Weekly Briefing" on One America News Network, which she joined in 2020.
Bobb became a central figure in the classified documents investigation and the federal indictment of Trump. When federal agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in an Aug. 8 search, Bobb confronted them as a senior lawyer on Trump's legal team. Bobb in 2022 had signed a document affirming that all classified material in the former president's possession was returned to federal authorities.
There are a bunch of new 5-star ratings, including some that mention the API, others put in language referencing other apps. Either fanboys brigading or paid shillery of the reviews is occurring.
We must protect high income individuals at all cost. It can't be considered an improvement if some rich asshole is less rich because of a law, and so the laws need to be rolled back. Republican obsequiousness toward corporations will get us all killed.
That's how human intelligence works. We assign a value to the source of the information. The fact that the AI's seemed to be trained without that explains why they "lie" so much. They simply reconstruct patterns without giving any weight to specific patterns.
For example, if you have the information "President Biden will launch a ground invasion of Russia." If the New York Times, BBC, and CNN are all reporting it, we would give that information a higher likelihood of being true than if the information was found on random blogs. However, if the random blogs reporting the information belonged to reputable reporters or bloggers on military and international affairs, we would assign the information a higher value of being correct than if the information came from Bob's Bigfoot and Alien sightings Index.
Without the ability to check the level of accuracy of source data, all the generative AI could be corrupted. If you fed an art AI photos of the Statue of Liberty but kept telling it that it was the Eiffel Tower, when asked to draw the Eiffel Tower it would spit out the Statue of Liberty. Right now, without the ability to assess the accuracy of a response, any of the chat-based AI are garbage for most of the use-cases companies are deploying them in.

Nuclear is very expensive, which means it needs to be run for a long time to make up for the initial investment costs. There are not very many places where you will be able to have enough cooling water for 3 to 5 decades that is not on a coastline. However, if you build on the coast you have to build with 50 years of sea level rise, tsunamis and flooding in mind. All of that adds to the already high costs.
Cover everything with solar, build up on and offshore wind, improve existing hydroelectric and invest in geothermal, make the grid larger with more grid storage, and if you still need more energy sources then add nuclear.
I have been trying to wrap my head around why some Republicans seem genuinely surprised at what is happening. I have come to the conclusion that some thought it was a game. They honestly thought that when you had people calling Obama a secret Muslim, that it was "just politics", a bit of fun name-calling and that's all. They thought they were playing games, throwing fake red meat at the base to get them to have a fake angry response. Even after some of their constituents were goaded into attacking the government, they were still in denial about the reality of the situation they helped create. The monster is real, and they have spent multiple decades feeding it, and it was all fun and games when the monster was chained up, but Trump broke the chains, and now they are worried about what the monster will do to the village.
Trump Says He’s a Target in Special Counsel’s Capitol Attack Investigation
It would be the second time the special counsel has notified the former president that he is likely to face indictment, this time in connection with the criminal investigation into the events leading up to the storming of the Capitol.
It would be the second time the special counsel has notified the former president that he is likely to face indictment, this time in connection with the criminal investigation into the events leading up to the storming of the Capitol.
The letter is a sign that he is likely to be indicted in the case. Former President Donald J. Trump said on Tuesday that he had received a so-called target letter from the special counsel Jack Smith in connection with the criminal investigation into his efforts to hold onto power after he lost the 2020 election, a sign that he is likely to be indicted in the case.
It would be the second time Mr. Smith has notified Mr. Trump that he is a target in a federal investigation. The first, in June, was in connection to the inquiry into Mr. Trump’s handling of national defense material after he left office and his alleged obstruction of efforts to retrieve it. Mr. Trump was charged with 37 criminal counts covering seven different violations of federal law, alone or in conjunction with one his personal aides.
“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand Jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment,” Mr. Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, after a news inquiry into whether he had been told he is a target.
Two people close to Mr. Trump confirmed that he had received the letter. The former president is expected to decline the invitation to appear before the grand jury.
It is not clear what aspect of Mr. Smith’s investigation into the efforts to obstruct the transfer of power that Mr. Trump’s possible indictment may be related to. The investigation has examined an array of schemes that Mr. Trump and his allies had used to try to stave off defeat, and at least two grand juries have been hearing matters related to his efforts to stay in power.
Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, appeared before one of the grand juries in June, according to people familiar with his appearance. Rudolph W. Giuliani, who was Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, had a recent interview with prosecutors.
Prosecutors have been asking witnesses about the former president’s state of mind, as well as efforts to fund-raise off his false claims of widespread voter fraud and whether he knew he had lost. They have also been scrutinizing efforts to put together slates of so-called fake electors to cast ballots in support of Mr. Trump when the electoral college tallies were certified.
Mr. Trump spent weeks after the 2020 election publicly insisting that he had won and looking for ways to remain in power, at one point considering whether to use the apparatus of government to seize voting machines.
Ultimately, he encouraged a crowd at a rally near the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, to march to the Capitol as Joseph R. Biden’s electoral victory was being certified. Members of the mob stormed the building, some chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” and others hunting for Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Joe Lieberman wanted single payer health care. When Obama tried to implement it in Obama care, Lieberman killed it out of spite. The left wanted it and since the left voted him out during the primary for his Iraq war support, he decided to kill it because he wanted to hurt the left. He is a terrible ,spiteful person who should go back to the lobbying groups he worked for after being in the Senate.
AI only "knows" what it has been trained on. Since structural racism exists, racism will be present in how AI operates. It does not mean we will have AI Hitler trying to kill Jews, but it might mean things like an AI drawing program defaulting to a white woman when asked to draw a generic woman. It could mean that bias that already exists gets amplified, for example an AI "pre-crime" program targeting Black neighborhoods as potential hotspots while ignoring similar White neighborhoods.
