This picture is hilarious because the words “Meat ball” were transliterated into Arabic. The resulting Arabic words (ميت بول) were then interpreted (incorrectly) as Arabic, THEN translated into English. The first word “Meat” can be misread as the Arabic word for “is dead”. The second word “ball” is how an Arabic speaker would pronounce the name “Paul.” Therefore, the English description of this dish is “Paul is dead.”

This is a toot about #ML & #AI

I have a feeling that if society collapses somehow someone’s still going to try to convince me to come in to work.

🥥 On #Sept11 we can remember the Bush/Cheney lies that got the US into its longest wars.
Author #Thom_Hartmann highlights how George W. Bush and Dick Cheney cynically exploited the tragedy to illegally invade #Afghanistan and declare war against #Iraq. 🥥

September 11, 1973 - the Presidential Palace of #Chile is strafed and bombed by #rightwing forces in the coup against socialist #Chilean President Salvador Allende. The coup, supported and assisted by the #UnitedStates, ended #democracy and a period of social progress in Chile and unleashed nearly two decades of #dictatorship, terror, and death on the #country. The perpetrator of the coup, Augusto #Pinochet, was shielded from consequences after he left power by the United States and Great #Britain.

A Meta spokesperson acknowledged that Threads was intentionally blocking the search terms (“covid” and “long covid,”), and said that other terms were being blocked, but declined to provide a list of those. A search by The Post discovered that the words “sex,” “nude,” “gore,” “porn,” “coronavirus,” “vaccines” and “vaccination” are also among blocked words.

The basis of democracy is a social compact, whereby everyone agrees to a set of rules for selecting our governance, we vote, and we accept the result of the vote.

That fundamental compact is broken. In supporting Trump and his insurrection, Republicans have decided to depart the most basic agreement that makes this country work.

This is to say, we are already in a sort of civil war. The Republican faction has decided it will only participate if it can rule unopposed.

NEW: West Virginia just adopted a law that now requires that, for an incarcerated person to receive care, the head of WV's prison system must greenlight it as necessary.

This is happening in a state with already-dismal care. Here's what it could mean: https://boltsmag.org/west-virginia-jails-and-prisons-health-care/

Wait a sec. Let me get this straight. Politico and WaPo reported that Leonard Leo’s group instructed Kellyanne Conway’s Polling Company to “give” Ginni Thomas’s “consulting” company “another $25K” with “No mention of Ginni, of course.” Then Conway billed Leo for that $25K the same day? So, Leo was funneling cash to a Supreme Court justice’s wife through Conway’s company?!

Drew Barrymore's had a large piece of my heart ever since Firestarter, so finding out she's scabbing writing on her own talk show AND that people on her staff are kicking anyone wearing a strike pin out of the filming audience is a real kick in the taint.

DON’T LOOK AWAY. This is the hateful vitriol that the #Ottawa convoy left in its wake and that conservative politicians embolden. To anyone who still doesn’t see the link between antivaxx/anti-mask BS and white supremacy, #antisemitism, #bigotry, pay attention. I will not put up with receiving these threats alone. #EnoughIsEnough

"Republicans politicized the courts because the courts stood in the way of their racist, anti-gay, forced-birth agenda. If Democrats refuse to fight back, that agenda will be the law of the land, and elections will become the political force that doesn’t really matter."

In retrospect, a recycling bin with an easy to open lid may not have been the best idea. 🐱
