#Walz in Minnesota:
"Look, folks: I know this is a hard moment. It's hard to lose. It's hard to understand how so many of our fellow citizens—people Democrats have long fought to help—wound up choosing the path they did."
"So if you're feeling deflated and discouraged today, I want you to know that I get it … Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you're ready."
Amazing how American Muslims weren’t a large enough voting bloc to speak at the DNC yet so large they single handedly cost Democrats the Presidency.🤔
I give you, Schrödinger's Muslim!
I’m not going to be more dramatic than necessary but the immediate bloom of cruelty after the 2016 election is something I had repressed a bit and it’s happening again—online but also in worse and more dangerous ways offline.
If you’re in the US, the time to start supporting your undocumented neighbors is not January, but tomorrow. One starting point:

And if you’re not visibly in a targeted group, maybe think about who you can be walking home this week.
In light of reports of large-scale deportation raids happening throughout the country, we urge you to take action to protect and support the immigrant families and communities who are at greatest risk.IMMIGRANTS RISING

The Cecco Bridge, dating back to the Republican age, is located over the Castellano river in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
According to a legend, the bridge was initially built in one night by the famous scholar, physician and astrologer Cecco D’Ascoli(1269 - 1327), helped by the Devil. The two-arch structure was made of ashlars.
The bridge was destroyed during WWII and it was rebuilt in 1971 using the original material.
No, this isn’t Excalibur; it’s the legendary Sword of Dunvegan, and it’s over 500 years old.
This formidable weapon was crafted by the MacLeods of Suardal, who served as blacksmiths to the MacLeods of Dunvegan.
Dating the sword precisely is challenging, though its design points to the late 15th or early 16th century AD. The sword appears on the tombstone of Alasdair Crotach MacLeod, the 8th Chief of the Clan, indicating it must date to before his death in 1528 AD.
No state has been as assiduous in attacking the Palestine solidarity movement and supporting Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza as Germany.
Today, it is impossible to hold a pro-Palestine demonstration in Berlin or elsewhere in Germany without facing attacks from the police, intimidation from the state and accusations of anti-Semitism from the press.
Germany also treats anti-Zionist Jews who speak in support of Palestinian rights.

@anubis2814 @urbanfoxe Its not that I don't care about people.
I care about them a lot.
I just lack the ability to discern any but the most obvious nonverbal cues, facial expressions, tone of voice. I have literally no capacity to truly discern how a person is feeling unless they verbalize, in excruciating detail, what they are going through. Most of the time all I can sense is "they are sad". Not why or what about from context clues or implications. Tone of voice and lack of eye contact simply doesn't register.
EQ measures your ability to discern these things. Not your capacity to care or feel sympathy.
@anubis2814 Believe me when I say I do not feel superior to them. I merely recognize them collectively as oppressor and therefore as enemy. I love and trust some of them: my mother is an NT. But even she reveals her own limitations. Thus we are slowly drifting away from each other.
This is no more a doctrine of superiority than a refusal of a black person to trust me because I am white. It is simply a reasonable presumption given the larger situation.
NTs can no more help what they are than I can. I've been told be 100% honest all the time makes NTs anxious, scared, vulnerable. Something about a fear of being taken advantage of or losing all their valued relationships.
I do not like how they have trained and assimilated you into their ways. They have warped your mind with values and perogatives that go against your nature. Why keep bending over backwards for them? How do you know they aren't taking you for a ride or using you for their own ends? Turning you into something that doesn't frighten them, into their pet?
“The Druids Temple”, Nidderdale, Yorkshire. UK :
The Druid's Temple is in fact not a real temple, but a 19th Century folly styled after stone circles and well-known prehistoric monuments.
Seems a lot of liberals lack empathy then, for the 60 million babies they've murdered, for the lower class who can't afford to heat their houses because of their retarded energy policies, for the kids they allow to be sexually mutilated by trans-activist, who then will never be able to have families of their own...

@JB Carroll @Hank G ☑️ With the current crop of LLMs chatbots, given the absolutely massive and parallel investment underway, I believe we’ve already plateaued for generative output quality. In part because of the inherent limitations of the tech itself (black box Markov Chain), and in other part because the input of the most popular models has already started to be tainted by its own output, used to generate content that AI crawlers later ingest indiscriminately.
So I wouldn’t put too much hope in the current generation of what we call AI. And given the manufactured hype and the obvious intellectual worker fungibility prospect the current tech offers, it appear it’s here to stay, way longer than similar grifts blockchain or NFTs that both didn’t have any labor cost reduction promise.
@JB Carroll @Hank G ☑️ I used to be dazzled by this kind of prospect, but then I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I agree with Douglas Adams, such a system would produce output so incomprehensible to us that it would be virtually useless.
As it turns out we do not currently need an artificial brain-like entity with synapses that can fire millions of times faster than ours, we need a global political will to apply existing theoretical solutions to practical issues mankind is facing on its home planet. And that definitely won't happen.
"An elderly displaced man in Northern Gaza who I interviewed reflects on the hypocrisy of those who defend animals and nature while ignoring the human suffering unfolding before them. “We see men and children ripped to pieces—the arm in one place, the head in another,” he says, urging the world to take action."
This absolutely cracks me up. It's like telling somebody that has just seen their circumstances improve YUUGELY, that they are not allowed to celebrate by eating shit salad sammiches.

The Justice Department filed criminal charges Friday on in a thwarted plot linked to Iran to kill then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump before Tuesday's presidential election, which Trump won.According to the complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, an unnamed official in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard ordered his contact, Farjad Shakeri, in September to hatch plan to kill Trump.
The complaint said if Shakeri wasn't able to create such a plan, the operation would be paused until after the presidential election. According to the complaint, the unnamed official thought Trump would lose and it would be easier to carry out a plot to kill him.
Shakeri told the FBI the official asked for a proposal in seven days, which was a timeframe he was not able to meet.

To pundits who say we must be gracious winners, I call bullshit.
Why must we respond in any way other than a shoulder shrug we'd give a mosquito bite as we dig a hole in a garden? We must get to the business of undoing wreckage left by Obama & Biden. Besides, years of incandescent rage have left me numb. Do we stop to react to a toddler's temper tantrum in a grocery store? No, we keep shopping
I say we ignore the left. What we're seeing are the reactions of political toddlers. Keep shopping.

“When people are grieving, rituals are really important. We need to tactically do something,” said Rev. Jes Kast.Sojourners
These two months matter, if you are in any way US tied. What we have now is more meaningful freedom that we are likely to see again for some time. Maybe a very long time.
If there are things you need to do, do them. Make a list. Step by step by step. Get it done.
Set yourself up to survive and thrive, whatever it will mean. I believe in you.
