I am going to stop reading them myself.

It’s not so much ideological than practical, I simply don’t have the time to fact check them, or figure out which are the real articles and which are the AI ones, etc etc

Hexbatch ,

Thanks for describing it, I misread the first sentence.

Still, it’s AI creeping into their news. Even if it does change the content now, first step leads to a second step later. And that may not be noticed by me

Best to just train myself to not use them now

Trump & Harris Each Vow Border Crackdowns as Immigrant Communities Demand Positive Change (www.democracynow.org)

Immigration has become one of the central issues of the 2024 race, with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vowing to expand the draconian policies of his first term and deport 10 million immigrants from the country amid what he calls an “invasion.”...

Third parties who are not a pity vote, in the USA , can only arise from the school boards and city halls.

It cannot not be some national or state org who runs candidates for top offices only, asking for funds, and get a few votes

I think that local process to build options is broke right now, because grassroots are stalled at the neighborhoods, except for a few places in big cities.

It’s broke but it’s not dead

If you want third party, then run or support school board candidates, dog catchers, sheriffs; and then look to the next county for like minded folks. Someday it could be a coalition to change state politics

Hexbatch ,

Which 3rd parties run for county offices? I’m out of the loop

It’s really hard to detect sarcasm these days because so many are conflating a fascist movement with Judaism. That confusion is totally not going to backfire at all later.

Many have realized for months there is only one way this will end: with no Palestinians in Gaza. Later, I expect at least a million dead and the rest living elsewhere.

There are at least 1/5 that many dead now, and the famine and disease will start claiming victims at a faster rate.

Once Gaza is depopulated, Israel will force the West Bank out next.

Texas sues GM for allegedly violating drivers' privacy (www.reuters.com)

Aug 13 (Reuters) - General Motors (GM.N), has been sued by the state of Texas, which accused the automaker of installing technology on more than 14 million vehicles to collect data about drivers, which it then sold to insurers and other companies without drivers’ consent.

I’ve been watching Ken’s career for a while. And I am convinced he is not doing this for a bribe, but has a good plan to enrich himself better than that.

I have no clue how he will make money here ; I suspect most of it will be known years later

Hexbatch ,

He is still setting policy. His speech reflects changes he will not make

If I look at it a certain way, we all come from a long line of millions of ancestors who barely scraped by or lucked out.

Our instincts only go as far as what we can see, hear, feel, taste, smell or vibe. We are not wired to react well to invisible things

President Abdeh Fattah el-Sisi has made a repressive government, and is dependent on American aid to stay in power. Most Egyptians are passionate about what is happening in Gaza but cannot protest. If you listen to crowds at football matches, though, it is very apparent how they feel.

Sisi ,regarding Gaza, should be regarded as an American puppet who walks a rather fine line. This is why Egypt has been so involved in “negotiations”.

Can the USA just not get entangled in more wars?

I would like this money going to repair local infrastructure, instead of this bothersome corporate welfare that helps keep prices high ( I know it’s a jump from a to b but it’s true in my mind)

Hexbatch ,

I’m naive because I only see protecting big business with no trickle down effect to me and my community.

And, quite honestly, any increased tensions with China takes money out of each household here, due to increased prices.

Sure, this is a selfish view, but I’m really tired of eternal war when I see a lack of money in my rural area.

George Santos pleads guilty to two counts in federal corruption case, faces years in prison (www.usatoday.com)

Former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., who was expelled from the House of Representatives after being indicted on 23 federal counts including fraud and misusing campaign funds, pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to two of the charges....

The problem was he had too little money to play the game

This was the only one witnessed by someone who reported them

As long as Israel blocks Philadelphia , the people will starve and be sicker

Depends how determined they are, the voyage is going to have every obstacle

Blinken lied repeatedly on camera, a while back, about these negotiations. Honestly don’t know why he still goes there? What does he do? Does he have a favorite restaurant and a sit down. Play cards?

The only thing that can stop an absolute mess on campuses is a cease fire that allows in food and medicine .

These rules are from hopeful admins this week

Also from Texas, this has been driving me crazy for years. At least they are now against international law now. Cold comfort

Hexbatch ,

Another save the kids law

The super rich make bank on civil wars. A good and proper war in any developed country would make hundreds of new billionaires and thousands of new millionaires: the hugest wealth transfer in history for that unlucky country.

Meanwhile most of the patriots, true believers, on all sides, who fight, would be dead or maimed or locked up. With most others stuck in poverty , illness and bad leadership whoever won.

Its good business for Musk and company to give a little push now and then

Hexbatch ,

I’m not yet ready to accept open ai announcements

Hexbatch ,

I’m going to assume the community gets poison while the factory cranks out batteries, and delivers few jobs or taxes?

I’m also going to assume the community recognizes this but hopes to improve their area with new education and other investment? Or a lot of people were bribed ?

Am I wrong ?

Hexbatch ,

There is a real disconnect between these optimistic hopes and the fact Hamas already agreed to Biden’s entire treaty last month ( after the usa negotiating party ignored the Palestinians for weeks back in May).

The current peace talks don’t include Palestinians much, it’s simply more BS and showmanship to help with the USA elections.

It may happen that there will be a cease fire, maybe soon. But these jokers at this so called peace conference will not have caused it

UCLA can’t let protesters block Jewish students from campus, judge rules (ktla.com)

U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed in June by three Jewish students at UCLA. The students alleged that they experienced discrimination on campus during the protest because of their faith and that UCLA failed to ensure access to campus for all Jewish students....

Hexbatch ,

Many of the protestors were Jewish themselves. Those people reporting that they were blocked were zionists who took exception to the protestors and did not behave politely or quietly

Empire of man series. Main character starts as a twat almost nobody really likes, then he gets better.

It’s military science fiction en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Man

At bottom of wiki article is link to read first book for free

It’s kind of funny what sort of coverage the bbc picks from the area. They go on about one of the milder events that day, and ignore the rest .

Then they gaslight about it.

Hexbatch ,

Yea, that is what gets me too, when I look at the blockers to use; Ad blockers have access to all keystrokes, forms and pages. They have access to my banking and other codes when I use them .

While I am sure the more popular blockers do not abuse this, and the code most likely checked line by line. It’s still possible for a handful of mistakes to allow supply chain attacks or a dozen other things to happen.

It worries me, so I don’t use them as extension and use security elsewhere

Hexbatch ,

I hope one day it will be illegal to shop for judges to shut down tech companies
