I strongly disagree with Charlie Kirk, but doctors pronounce him dead, not the media or Wikipedia.

Edit: it's official, he's dead (it wasn't confirmed when I originally posted this). Condolences to his wife and small kids.

Nobody wants it to be, but wanting something to not be about racism doesn't make it not about racism.

Jim Crow "ended" (it's what we tell ourselves) in the south in 1965 with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965. Our last two presidents were adults when that happened, and it's not like racism was solved when those laws were passed.

> As part of the settlement, Anthropic said that it did not use any pirated works to build A.I. technologies that were publicly released.

Oh so now we're at "just trust me bro" levels of absurdity

If that is the world you want, then boy are you going to love living in Somalia. You could even move today!

> PEGI ratings (although overzealous) are a god starting point.

PEGI says FIFA Ultimate Team: Parental Wallet Draining is PEGI 3. Maybe PEGI should clean its house before we defer to it.
