She's a pretty popular figure on the left and might actually get a lot better turnout than Beto (although certainly less with racist white "moderates" but their turnout for Dems has been lackluster). Texas has been purple, but you wouldn't know it given all the voter suppression and gerrymandering.
Rare occasion where the headline is... pretty much it, at least as far as this article goes.
Sure, we could point out that the east wing is for events and it's the first lady's office (which obviously matters very little to MAGA) but NYT doesn't spend nearly enough time emphasizing that this is illegal, like most of the shit he does this past year.
They're probably trying to wreck as much stuff as possible before a judge, once again, puts a stop on it (only for an appeals court to shrug and say it's too late and allow it).
"Remember memes... though half a weeks gone by. Remember memes, even if work makes you cry. For even if it's far away, the weekends in my heart. I sing my silly songs to you each time we make meme art..."
Marketing weirdly effective, for one. They pump a large portion of their budgets into hype and they make just enough back to keep going. It's like the same people who watch an ad for a fast food place and go even though it's never as advertised.
And most isn't direct marketing. They very much pay influencers to buy this slop and worse. You pay a half million to a guy to make something look popular and it becomes popular. It's very annoying.
So funny I read this post right after my 3yo dishes l ate all her broccoli, her brothers broccoli, and seconds on... broccoli. Didn't finish her rice, though.
I think she might actually like fruits and veggies?
That said, I think a good trick is to style the performative foods as Japanese bento style because kids are kinda easily swayed by look and feel of food, so if it's cute or cool they are more likely to eat it. We're planning on doing that anyway, mostly cause my wife was raised in Japan where that was common.
Another thing to keep in mind is parents are often the role models, so liking or disliking things will matter. If you hate fruits and veggies, they'll notice.
Yeah, but at least for an image filter it'll help. Giving bad actors, like bots, more fodder is obviously not a good thing, although they were pretty effective even pre-AI.
I'm hoping there'll be more indicators within the metadata of an image or video. If not the AI putting in AI copyright data or something, at least some tells from human made content like phone model or GPS data-- stuff that tends to get removed or hidden can at least verify to the service hosting the image that it's legit.
Doesn't stop someone who really wants to fake it from falsifying that data but it certainly would help trim the ones who are just trying to profit off cheap, mass produced content.
This would be a good thing in the timeline where governments actually gave a shit and we had universal basic income for everyone. No human should have to slave away for 8+ hours a day just to survive when most work can be automated.
That top three just really does kinda sum it up. AOC is all around lovely but Mark Cuban and Mark Hamill are both rather popular among the left of center but not quite progressive Gen X-ish crowd (we on Lemmy would tend to call liberals or neolibs, which I think is fair). They hate Donald Trump but not themselves system reformists, like my dad who is left of center but still trusts "good billionaires" somehow.
I prefer our people here over that centralized nonsense but I do think it's nice to see outside of the federation from time to time to not get too out of the loop on how other people think. They are allies, too, just sometimes a bit insufferable ones (e.g. "haha look at this AI image of Newsom body slamming Trump").
Same, Canvas is perhaps the most used Learning Management System in the US and they apparently are entirely hosted on AWS East. The real kicker is I had my students midterm due date literally today for two classes. I've been swamped with panic emails (and I made clear my due dates aren't even that important when there isn't a national outage lol).
My head canon is someone wished for a miracle due date extension somewhere in the country and they monkey's pawed AWS into non existence.
Having used the 5 before to get to San Diego for a same day passport, I can confirm it's a major artery and closing it down was actually kind of a risky move for Newsom since there're not a ton of great options to get south directly (and I cannot overstate how upset car brained people get over closures).
Hell, some might still be upset even if they 100% would have suffered shrapnel injuries; it's a good thing Newsom isn't a complete sociopath and actually can make an unpopular call for people's safety.
