So many liberals who have been operating for the last 15 years under the assumption that "protesting" was the very last stage of political dissatisfaction & a last resort are now looking around after protesting for 2 Saturdays (in impressive numbers, granted), seeing nothing change, & going "huh? Well now what? That can't NOT work!! Didn't someone see the funny sign I made?!"

There is nothing in the sensible liberal playbook that covers what the actual next steps are.

I have to admit that I did not see coming that my near-future #speculative #thriller novel, THE ALGORITHM WILL SEE YOU NOW, would appear naive within two years of publication because I only thought about possible consequences of misuse of #data, #AI #hallucinations, and hidden #biases. I failed to imagine a government simply stopping collecting the data

Another great article from @ProPublica

People obsess about making sure that trains are full. Talk about moving warm air around during quieter periods of the day. Yet noone seems to point out the main competitor to rail travel involves traveling with a pair of arm chairs and a sofa, with a total number of passengers of 1. The inefficiencies of private cars are ridiculous.

As long as the whole train network, across the whole year and all services is >20% occupancy, it's more efficient than the competition.

So my friend texted me that she thinks she knows where he got a pope's outfit for that pic.

I told her it was AI generated.

Silence.

We have no idea how many people don't understand tech and will be fooled by everything they see.

Several generations.
