AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.

Aka stealing

I completely disagree with the sentiment here. My 40s have been great because they marked the point in my life when I finally lost my last fuck to give.

The freedom that provides is worth not being able to drink the way I used to in my 30s. Enjoy that achievement.

Bro, I got bad news for you, coming straight from Alberta...

I'm in the middle of book 7 and holy what a shift. I'm in the part where it's so overwhelming, you can't even begin to imagine how this will get resolved. Very excited to read the last two books.

Ok this is great though

Yeah I never expected a nice day in December to bring such existential dread.

Practical Engineering - in depth presentations of civil engineering feats, concepts, problems, solutions

Joe Scott - just simple, entertaining discussions of interesting topics

Philosophy Tube - longer format, intensely well-cited presentations on philosophy related to current events (with theatrical costumes!)

Ryan Hall - who knew that a weather forecast could be so fun? Regularly updated weather forecasts for the entire United States with detailed coverage and livestreams of events like tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, and large snowstorms. With charity drives to provide supplies to people on the ground

PBS Spacetime, PBS Eons, all the PBS channels really

Plainly Difficult - consistent quality, often hilarious presentations of various disasters. I particularly like his entire series on radiological accidents, often involving lost radioactive sources that random members of the public stumble onto, which is terrifying.

I'm one of these patients. I was successfully treated for an autoimmune brain condition of some sort. To this day, none of our clinical testing has ever showed any abnormality. I was treated based on detailed medical history and my insistence that my self-reported symptoms be taken seriously.

It took months to find a physician willing to treat me, and I still to this day don't understand what they were so afraid of. My self-reports of symptoms, patterns of exacerbations, and positive response to corticosteroids were consistent and unequivocal.

I was in nursing school at the time, and I don't know if that helped or hindered me. But I finally figured out how to speak the language that my physicians could understand, even though I was the patient. That shouldn't be necessary.

It's almost like people in the United States have the freedom to express their opinions on a matter. Imagine that!

Why are there so many Mexicos?? The Mexicos are multiplying, you guys. We're about to be overrun.

This is why I have a patch on my bag that reads "Evil is boring"

This kind of passive bigotry is necessary for genocides to occur. It is the foundation on which the mechanisms of genocide are built.

It's not just no good; it's terrifying.
