This is how guns become a free speech issue

That is great news if they going to leave Musk there

I suppose you're alluding to his famous quote "I'd like to die on Mars, just not on impact"[0], so yes, having him stay there would be a win-win for everyone.

Nope just thinking about what’s best for the planet

Interesting. What would you say is best for Mars?

The point about ICE’s actions and attitude coloring the public’s perception of all law enforcement is spot on. I would expect legit law enforcement to protect us from such thuggery, but instead they stand by and do nothing, or worse, actively assist.

ACAB was a thing long before anyone heard of ICE, as well as the "defund the police" movement after the George Floyd protests. The public's perception of law enforcement was already low, and rightly so.

There was some pushback from your average liberal because they thought that it was too extreme, that we needed some folks to protect us and enforce the laws. But with what's going on with ICE, I'm seeing even some of the staunchest whitest liberals finally realize that law enforcement simply cannot be trusted ever, and for good reason. The only people still arguing otherwise are either the old, wealthy democrats sitting on their asses as people get beaten in the streets or the would-be fascists barely keeping the mask on.

People under 16 should not be permitted to socialize or express themselves, nor should they be allowed to hear words from adults at all, not just online.

Real musicians play real instruments, not synthesizers

Real musicians play real instruments, not samples

Real musicians play real instruments, not AI-generated slop

All of the above is bullshit y’all

Real musicians play with anything they want.

Bandcamp’s first policy will become an enforcement nightmare in the short term and irrelevant the long term.

I’m still waiting for someone to create something really good with AI - meaningful, impactful, emotionally gripping - not just novelties. Same problem as AI text slop - by the nature of its training, it regresses to the mean

Also: how much time/effort/money one spends creating art is unrelated to quality. Spending 40 hours recording and producing a mediocre song does not make it “better” than a mediocre song generated in a few seconds by AI or any other tool

Yeah ChatGPT says they really hate that!

Nice one

“According to the sources, the President has asked the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare the invasion plan, but it is being resisted by the joint chiefs of staff on the grounds that it would be illegal - and would not be supported by Congress.”

“A diplomatic source said: 'The generals think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old'”

There were similar reports after his first term; that this kind of person has risen to this kind power is absolutely ridiculous.

> … this kind of person has risen to this kind power is absolutely ridiculous.

He is the result of the political will of the majority of U.S. voters. Every democratic country gets the leadership it deserves.

Unfortunately the rest of the world also gets the leader the US deserves.

I mean this came up several times in court. It's totally legal for him to order these things. It might be illegal for the generals to act on those orders. But then, because the order is legal by virtue of the officeholder issuing it then it's also illegal to refuse a lawful order. Only one set of illegal orders comes with a pardon though.

It's still one's duty to refuse an immoral order. The Allies convicted Nazis on that basis at Nuremberg, and "just following orders" was famously invalidated there.

Um… banned by what authority? I fail to see how this is legal. Same as banning obese people from buying cookies

“The proposal would impose a one-time 5% tax on the assets of Californians worth over $1 billion.”

So if enough people vote for it, ex post facto theft is ok because “crisis”?

If they can do it once, they can do it repeatedly, no crisis required
