Putin Understanding is beyond pandemic proportions. Ruschist disinfo spent years entrenching a cartoon character that haunts the western imagination. Genocide against Ukrainians and imminent genocide against us is reduced to a cartoonish temper tantrum of a fictional character.

The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.

The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.

People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.

If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

You cannot explain away immorality because you believe it serves some higher purpose. No higher purpose would adopt immorality. Only humanity would do that.

"On each trip, he said, bodies fell around him. Finally, after being ordered to go a fifth time, he and his unit refused to go, he said. In all, he said, his unit lost about 70 percent of its soldiers to death and injury, ruining any faith he had in his commanders.
“Nobody is going to stay alive,” he said. “One way or another, one weapon or another is going to kill you.”

Women have been barred from university #education in Afghanistan. Should free education programs like #MIT #OpenCourseware take a further step & award degrees to Afghan women? Should open universities start offering some instruction in some of Afghanistan’s spoken languages? #poll [ ] no [ ] give free degrees to Afghan women [ ] add instruction in Afghan languages [ ] both: add languages & give degrees

The government and private companies have together managed to break pretty much everything 🤦🏻‍♀️ It's time for a change. Enough is enough.
