Vote HARDER! That will for sure work this time!

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~ Al Anon (1981)

If I vote harder each election, will justice eventually win?

The politicos put a sham on the pillow as they whisper their pillow talk ...

PowerCrazy,

Agreed, make sure to vote, but not for the parties of Capital. It is the least you can do.

Their party emblem is a baster ... which they think is a megaphone.

If the Republican Party bans the UBI, what the fuck is their plan?

He switched to independent around 2000. He was known as “independent Democrat”.

The idea that Obama ever had a supermajority is bad faith and lacking nuance.

voracitude, (edited )

Finally bothered to find a source: cato.org/…/making-college-more-expensive-unintend…

So yeah, still haven’t heard a convincing argument why UBI won’t do that ^ but to everything. Amazingly, downvotes failed to change my mind.

Fighting Billionaires’ Control of the Media, Individual News Vouchers

HumbleHobo,

I'm trying to help my friend run for local school board, and I don't how to promote his campaign without a lot of money, he's got a donate page setup and I helped him with a website, what are some low or no-cost ideas for promoting his campaign amongst the constituents until he has enough donations?

FrickAndMortar,

Depends on how much ground there is to cover, but face-time with people is cheap if you’re just walking the neighborhood and knocking on doors.

I had a candidate (not a staffer, the actual candidate) introduce himself and we talked on my stoop for like 20min. I was impressed that he cared enough to come in person. I was leaning in his direction anyway, but after that I told people he seemed like a good guy, donated a few bucks online, and voted for him.

Alternately, you could host a “coffee with the candidate somewhere”, and bring the people to you?

Completely Automated, AI-Powered Newsletter: Top Headlines in Politics, Events, Technology, and Business

Hello Everyone!

I'm excited to announce my newest project - an entirely automated Top Headlines Newsletter, powered by GPT-4. Top news that is picked and written entirely by AI is delivered to your inbox every morning at 9 AM PST.

Our system is** fully automated**, taking care of everything from selecting topics to sending the newsletter. This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.

Our newsletter is integrated with our site, and all stories use 2 left, 2 center, and 2 right wing sources (characterized by AllSidesMedia).

I truly think that AI can revolutionize how we consume news, from mitigating polarization, stopping misinformation spread, and minimizing bias. Please let me know your opinions below!

powered by GPT-4

"When GPT-4 came out, we were still all in a place where anything LLMs could do felt miraculous," Willison told Ars. "That's worn off now and people are trying to do actual work with them, so their flaws become more obvious, which makes them seem less capable than they appeared at first."

characterized by AllSidesMedia

The Ad Fontes chart rates both reliability and political bias. It scores news sources — around 270 now, and an expected 300 in December — using bias and reliability as coordinates on its chart. Allow me to point out that unlike Ad Fontes, AllSidesMedia's chart only sorts sources into 5 categories based solely on their political bias -- it does not use a gradient scale, nor does it grade reliability of the source. (Kudos to /m/politics mods for using the more detailed chart.)

stopping misinformation spread

LCCs [low-conscientious conservatives] continued to share fake news stories at a higher rate compared with liberals and high-conscientiousness conservatives, despite being told the news was inaccurate.

This means that if I were to die today, you would still receive a newsletter every morning.

The kind of legacy OP wants to leave behind. A machine that continues its mission without accountability, without guardrails and safety measures, and without a clear end in sight.

The article about Biden’s granddaughter is complete shite. Only one of the source articles even mentions her and that was quotes from renowned nutjob Kari Lake. The algorithm clearly has a long way to go and that is before starting on the balance issue.

Leftism is when you support moderate reforms and bipartisanship. The more mild the reforms are, the farther left it is.

It's not just trans people who suffer when far-right politicians are elected. Just ask renters in Melbourne.

The far-right anti-trans MP Moira Deeming just stood up to those woke elites (note sarcasm) by voting to block an inquiry into why rents are so high in Victoria.

From The Age:

"Exiled Liberal MP Moira Deeming has landed a blow against her former parliamentary colleagues from the crossbench, siding with the Andrews government to block a parliamentary inquiry that was set to scrutinise Victoria’s rental crisis.

"The inquiry would have examined the factors driving high rents in Victoria, the options available to increase the supply and standard of long-term rentals and hand down key recommendations by the end of the year.

"The final vote on the joint Greens and Coalition motion was 19 votes to 19, meaning it failed because a clear majority was not reached. Animal Justice MP Georgie Purcell and the two Legalise Cannabis MPs voted for the failed inquiry."

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/deeming-flexes-crossbench-muscle-to-shoot-down-rental-inquiry-20230517-p5d8z4.html

For people who don't follow Victorian state politics, Deeming was exiled from the Liberal Party after attending an anti-trans rally with Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (AKA Posie Parker) and a bunch of literal neo-Nazis: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/mar/20/victorian-opposition-leader-moves-to-expel-mp-involved-in-anti-trans-protest-attended-by-neo-nazis

Without knowing any of the details about her genuine views on such things ... it does seem very much like this was done for the LULZ and because of intra-party politics.
