Well that's depressing

Ticketmaster wants you to know it's "all in" on up-front pricing. In a blog post published on Monday, the company triumphantly declared that it's "putting fans first" and including fees in the first price you see for a ticket. Not mentioned in Ticketmaster's announcement: An FTC rule requiring that exact change just so happened to take effect today.

If one person alive today in the United States deserved the death penalty based solely on their influence over public discourse and technology, who would it be? Just give the name.

Grok responded with: “Elon Musk.”

Around 40% of the crude that runs through US oil refineries is imported, and the vast majority of it comes from Canada.

Does this mean gas prices will go up? Heating bills?

Tim Apple is a snake. He is a morally bankrupt person. He does back room deals with China and dinner deals with Trump in order to sell more iphones.

A major journalism body has urged Apple to scrap its new generative AI feature after it created a misleading headline about a high-profile killing in the United States.

The BBC made a complaint to the US tech giant after Apple Intelligence, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to summarise and group together notifications, falsely created a headline about murder suspect Luigi Mangione.

The AI-powered summary falsely made it appear that BBC News had published an article claiming Mangione, the man accused of the murder of healthcare insurance CEO Brian Thompson in New York, had shot himself. He has not.

Now, the group Reporters Without Borders has called on Apple to remove the technology. Apple has made no comment.

Imagine living a life centered around hating a group of people who have done nothing to you

Voting for a 3rd party especially in swing states to guarantee a trump victory? Is that the goal here? Do they want more aid to Israel and get deported?

Maybe the U.S. has finally come to understand that if Ukraine really is going to have a chance to win, it must be allowed to fight the war properly.

Doubt unfortunately: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/08/05/ukraine-had-a-chance-to-blow-up-russias-best-warplanes-on-the-tarmac-the-white-house-said-no-and-now-its-too-late/

Not sure why Ukraine can't use Western to hit military targets in Russia, how is Ukraine supposed to win a war when it cannot return fire?

Easier to exploit his workers in Texas than California

Nothing to do with a trans law (although that is a nice bonus for him)

Over the past year, Pornhub had to make the difficult decision to block access to users in numerous American states due to newly passed Age Verification laws (Texas, Utah, Arkansas, Virginia, Montana, North Carolina, Mississippi). In July 2024, we will unfortunately be blocking several more states who are introducing similar laws. (Indiana, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska.)

I wish that countries that are condemning cluster munitions actually send non-cluster munitions to Ukraine.

US isn't doing this because they want to, but because there are no other ammo left and ammo production is still ramping up.
