Trump is allowing Big Balls to attempt to take away your grandmother’s Social Security benefits, as well as the Social Security benefits of your disabled neighbor who is so kind but requires them due to Down syndrome, or the neighbor who broke their back at work and is now receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Fraud and waste are always the bullshit argument Republicans use to try and weed out legitimately disabled people from safety net programs. Let’s not bullshit around about what is going on. wired.com/story/big-balls-soci… #uspol #socialsecurity

One judge says training Gen AI is “transformative—spectacularly so.” Another says training Gen AI will be “illegal” in “most cases.” But both ruled in favor of the AI companies. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/two-…

Two Courts Rule On Generative AI and Fair Use - One Gets It Right

Things are speeding up in generative AI legal cases, with two judicial opinions just out on an issue that will shape the future of generative AI: whether training gen-AI models on copyrighted works is fair use.

Wait?! So the judge is saying that
"the ruling broadly proclaims that training AI without buying a license to use each and every piece of copyrighted training material will be “illegal” in “most cases."
and you are saying that you don't agree?
So according to you I could torrent a e.g. Disney movie and could use it transformative and would not have to prove that I legally acquired it for that to be legal?

@tiotasram you are immediately one of my favorite people ever for that quote:
"but every successful political movement has its violent & nonviolent components, and their victories often reinforce each other."

im so tired of conversations demanding everyone falls on one side of the fence or the other. everyone do you, organic movements encompass a variety of tactics from a variety of people and groups.

Ugh, here we go. People in the U.S. will get sicker more often, overall health and average life expectancy (US currently ranks 48th or so) will further decline. But because that impact will individually be subtle and compound only over years, the idiot population won’t make the connection.

Next on the chopping block: MMR vaccines. So yeah, young kids and infants are actually going to die. USA, USA.

> the idiot population won’t make the connection

So many people still believe in the safety and efficacy of vaccines, despite being exposed as a way to line the pockets of the big companies that make and promote them.

Statistically, there's more risk from side effects in taking a vaccine than getting the disease that vaccine was supposed to prevent.

Yet, there are still True Believers. I guess there's idiots on both sides.

I...can someone explain to me what it means when all Democrats can talk about is how scared they are of Republicans?

"Why don't people want to vote us!!!" they all whine incessantly while actively and forcibly framing literally every opinion they have in terms of "are the worst people in the world gonna get mad tho".

Frankly, I don't understand how anyone who identifies as a Democrat can have any self-respect at this point. Get a HOLD of yourselves. Fuck.

"Many progressives cheered the emergence of the young and charismatic Mamdani, whose candidacy caught on with viral campaign videos and a focus on the cost of living. But the party’s more pragmatic wing —"

This is where the record scratch hits for me — the idea that addressing cost of living is somehow some fantasy consideration rather than trying to make an unworkable reality workable. What exactly is more pragmatic in our society than "I need to be able to pay my bills"?

This is clickbait from AP News. Here are the “Democrats” they quoted for the article.

Larry Summers (seriously he’s still around?), a guy from a self-described “centrist” group called Third Way. And the 3rd quote they got? It was “Republicans Against Trumpism.” REPUBLICANS!

Good job buying the hype and not reading who the “Democrats” criticizing Mamdani are. Neither the AP nor this poster are going to let facts get in the way of Dem-bashing.

Now that Keir Starmer seem to be offering concessions to the disability cut rebels (although they might be wise to see the shape they finally take early next week), those Stramer-loyalist who stood up to defined the cuts, might be wondering whether they should do that again.... they're being made to look pretty foolish (and, of course, callous).

Overall the entire affair (disability cuts, rebellion, late/grudging concessions) has been a massive unforced error....

The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hand down a pivotal decision that could finally put an end to one of the Left’s favorite judicial tricks: nationwide injunctions designed to paralyze conservative executive action.

According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have “enormous” impacts on the Trump administration.

Turley said Tuesday that the high court will likely crack down on rogue activist judges.

The SCOTUS is poised to decide on the practice by federal judges that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.

Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions.

The moves are part of a strategy to undermine the Trump administration’s agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.

“It’s going to be an enormous decision potentially,” Turley explained.

The legal scholar noted that a decision may come on Thursday.

“For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, ‘Enough. We’re not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.”

A C.D.C. Committee Just Voted Against Flu Shots With This Preservative. Is It Safe? Here’s what the science shows about the preservative, thimerosal.
The amount in some flu vaccines is roughly equivalent to the amount of mercury found in a three-ounce can of tuna fish.

...

overall, autism rates did not decline after thimerosal was removed from the vaccines, as many anti-vaccine groups suggested it would. Instead, the rates increased.

It is likely akin to sunk-cost. They have already spent so much of their life having a thing to point at, that they don't want it to have been wrong the whole time. Even though it was known to be wrong pretty much right away, that was already too late for some.

Some mindsets require assigning blame to an external locus in order to move on. There has to be no chance it was "their fault" even though it's hard to really describe genetics as such...

There hasn't really been anything else to suggest a fixed external potential source. So if this one is proven wrong, they are out of options. Ignoring, of course, that it has already been proven wrong. But, that is the reason why they feel it hasn't. Because it's so very important to them that it is right.

And of course barring all that, even the most profoundly affected individuals with Autism rarely blame their condition for the lowered quality of life, if any, they blame their surroundings or surrounders incapability of adjusting to their needs. With proper surroundings and surrounders, even at it's worst, the downsides are manageable and the upsides can be really nice/useful.
