How are they brought back? Are they fully-formed and youthful again? Because I have enough skeletons angry at me already.

Where is Jay Bauman? Is he safe? Is he alright?

This is the same website that helped coordinate violent actions in Myanmar against Rohingya people. In Myanmar, Facebook had essentially no non-English language moderation. So the leaders of the violence campaign were posting their plans openly on Facebook and facebook picked it up and pushed it to more people because anti-Rohingya content was bringing in the most ad dollars and platform engagement.

From Amnesty International;

It revealed that even Facebook’s internal studies dating back to 2012 indicated that Meta knew its algorithms could result in serious real-world harms. In 2016, Meta’s own research clearly acknowledged that “our recommendation systems grow the problem” of extremism.

Doesn't even need to be bird flu. He could be patient zero for an all-new kind of herpes that is even more unpleasant.

Studies estimate that between 4-6% of people incarcerated in US prisons are actually innocent.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country on the planet. If each state were a country, Georgia would rank fourth in incarceration. These rates are not explained by higher levels of violent crime.

Data from the Georgia Innocence Project

When Trump was leaving office last time they literally went on a McKilling spree and McKilled thirteen people.

The number of federal death sentences carried out under Trump since 2020 is more than in the previous 56 years combined, reducing the number of prisoners on federal death row by nearly a quarter.

National Academy of Sciences Reports Four Percent of Death Row Inmates are Innocent

Study from 2014. Four fucking percent!

It's just so cool that we have this. Very normal country.

I bet you they ran out of kill juice and that's the real reason this is happening.

Then I was glad to be with you. Here at the end of all things.

How would someone even go about finding out their specific creative work has been scraped and stolen by these AI companies? Back when I was active people would just steal my [commissioned] work outright and claim they were me. Now it's buried under a thousand layers of algorithmically-generated bullshit that itself is based on previously referenced work.

The "I made this" comic pops into my head on a weekly basis now.

The Black Lives Matter org included in their list of demands that Trump be banned from twitter. Hilariously lib compared to the Black Panthers 50 years earlier demanding an autonomous country for black people.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We aren't valued enough, I mean everyone. That feeling of not being appreciated, and others are more can really bring us low after a while. It does to all of us, it seems like.

You are appreciated.

Although Agenda 21 does not have the force of law, right-wingers believe the treaty’s sustainable-development precepts will force Americans to live in “hobbit homes” and forcibly relocate residents from rural areas into densely populated urban cores. “Agenda 21 sounds like absolute crazy conspiracy theory nut stuff, but it’s not,” explains Glenn Beck. As Cruz puts it on his website:

How could

I'm talking about the parents who let the market dictate what their child becomes. Not as a left/right thing. When I was young the joke was made about "free-range" children and that's not it, it's closer to when parents do not present their children with direction or model character in their lives. The market wants your kid to be addicted to video games and Andrew Tate videos and it is incredibly easy to surrender your child's entire life to that.

In my school day fantasies, I was the one taking down the mass shooter and saving the school. That was almost 20 years ago now. What a theft of our imagination living in this country has been, to have even spent time considering the possibility. It's right to mourn the loss.

I've always had a problem with them making exceptions to try young persons as adults in court. Either there is a reason to consider young persons less competent than fully grown people or there isn't. What responsibility are we talking about? The shooter has no more responsibility to take. They are dead.

What I want to know is what did America get out of killing those young persons? Why does America love killing young people and puts up no barriers to entry when it comes to annihilating a classroom full of elementary school students? It's practically impossible to make a living as an artist or to create something worthwhile in this country. But if you want to kill a bunch of children, boy, America is the place for you.

CW for the whole thing.

The news says it was a teenage perpetrator this time. I'll try to discuss the phenomenon in the abstract. I have no expertise in the subject, just a lifelong Amerikkkan.

The confluence of white liberal parenting(the worst parents in the world), crypto-white supremacist communities, cities, and towns run by fascist death-worshipers, the market forces acting on them, and America itself produce mass killers like this intentionally. Every single time, and it has never happened by complete accident, a context is created by America that allows this to happen. A terrible, horrible gun culture, laws, information, and access. Instead of raising a kid with any direction or care the parents will allow market forces to pull and influence their child in a billion different directions. Now they are going to talk about mental illness, which at this point has been created by all the other external factors, but the community doesn't see it that way and cannot do self-reflection. All that is left is a lonely individual, with no direction, constant precarity*, piloting a body producing a variety of different hormones linked to aggression and bad decision-making(we've all been there too.) Does it matter at this point how much this person was bullied or was a bully? That their motivation was revenge or just rage? I don't believe so.

There is immorality involved here, but it's not in the perpetrator. The immorality is from their parents, from their communities, and America, The Great Satan, of course.

*Children and teens are an oppressed underclass in America. They have no power, influence, or representation. With all the bad parents we have in America children are basically prey to the market.
