When disabled people warned that Covid was going to be the worst mass disabling event in lived history, able-bodied people did not listen.

And now, all of these people who have been newly disabled by Covid are screaming “where are the treatments, where’s the help?”

And we’ve been telling you how to get the help you need, but you’re still not listening to us. You are futilely demanding that somebody do something for you, like we don’t exist.

The Times is right — e-bikes are a scourge and we must do everything we can to protect our fragile SUV-driving elites from these teen terrors. I propose we construct a nationwide network of separated e-bike enclosures to segregate these monsters from god-fearing motorists.

I’ve attached one such example from a European petrostate that has spent years valiantly protecting cars from the ravages of cycling. With work, we may be able to reduce the number of cyclist-on-motorist deaths to zero.

"The era of global warming has ended. The era of global boiling has arrived.

The air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable, and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable.

Humanity has unleashed destruction. This must not inspire despair, but action."

— United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres

i think we should start calling AI what it is: "Corporate Piracy".

para$$$ites have paid data hoarders to scrape whole websites, digital libraries and archives filled to the brim with copyrighted work; so they can repackage all that knowledge as if it were the serendipitous labor of sentient ghostly robots.

it's bullshit.

if unpaid sampling is copyright infringement; then scraping our social media and blogs, and passing it as their own knowledge, has to be as well.

bitch better have my money
