Unfortunately the alt-right disease isn’t limited to some arbitrary birth date brackets. It spreads to younger people all the time. You can’t just wait it out, you have to fight it, and keep fighting it.

This man is more serious than you think. Israel is a place, “somewhere else” to put all the Jews, so that they’re “not here”. That sounds pretty great to a nazi, actually.

Teslas are so bad for this, that whole “all the controls are on a big ipad” setup should be illegal.

I didn’t read too far, but,

To restrict car manufacturers and other companies from selling consumer car-related data, increase transparency regarding data practices, and for other purposes.

already skips over collecting the data, so yeah. I would guess this bill just exists for the optics, and isn’t actually intended to challenge the industry.

Oh yeah, kind of like how fans re-edited One Piece to remove filler and improve the pacing. I wonder if something similar could be done to merge the two FMAs? Unfortunately I think most of the fanbase just thinks Brotherhood is it, and the original doesn’t matter, so I don’t know think there’s much demand for this.

This is what I did, would also recommend. I don’t even think Brotherhood is better, the original has some really strong points.

Oooh I’ve been eagerly awaiting season 2 of Arcane. Hadn’t seen the release date yet. Excited now. 😸

I’ve been wanting to re-watch firefly lately. It’s short but there’s just so much in it. It’s one of two shows I’ve watched start-to-finish more than once.

And since we’re here for recommendations…the other show I’ve watched more than once is Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Based on a book by Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) it’s charming and insane in ways you might expect if you’re familiar with Hitchhiker’s Guide but it’s absolutely not predictable either. So much fun. (Available on Netflix (in Canada…last I checked))

‘danger to US security’

Oh yes that’s one of his finest qualities.

This is a list of people “to monitor and potentially groom”. You can’t exactly charge someone with “being monitored”.

Not to say collaboration isn’t happening—it sounds like it absolutely is, but this is not the list of collaborators.

Fuck cars but I think it’s a Camry, which is actually a mid-size car.

I’m sure they’ll find something even more problematic to dump money into sooner or later.

Of course it’s not only ai, but the article’s subhead: “Statistics raise concerns that rise in demand for data processing driven by AI could derail climate targets”

Can we just cancel the whole “ai” thing? It was fun for a bit, now it’s just problems.
