Republic worked with the police to organize their protest in a way that would minimise disruption and their leaders were still arrested this morning ahead of any protesting. Britain is a fascist state but this is low theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…

Nazis

In 1938, a judge was worried by the growing Nazi rallies in the US and asked a Jewish gangster for a favour.

“You got some boys who might want to punch a Nazi?” he asked.

“I do, Judge,” the mobster answered. “Respectfully, you understand we can do better than punch? I know just the crew — in Brownsville. The boys in the press call them Murder, Inc.”

Jewish gangsters once took on Nazis in the streets of NYC

In the late 1930s, America’s fascism problem was eventually solved — with some Jewish toughs and their fists, a new book reveals.

Then, riffing on a type of prompt you've used before, I asked it "Write a rap battle between Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein". The results were... disappointing.

Newton vs Einsteins, who’s got more genius?
I’m sure you’ve heard of me before! I am Sir Issac Newton, known for my laws of motion & gravity; but don’t let this fool ya’, cause when it comes to physics there ain’t no competition here!
Einstein on the other hand… he was just some German dude with crazy hair.

etc.

This is your irregular reminder #Adobe are fucking dicks:

> Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

Please make sure you absolutely read the letter that Julian #Assange just wrote to #KingCharles in the occasion of #CoronationDay.
It should be on ALL UK media, had it been written by #Navalny, you would read 3,000 of articles by UK and US press:

WikiLeaks founder calls for “mercy” from King Charles as the political prisoner highlights England’s jail conditions.

This take is annoying.

But it's also not entirely @gruber's fault because the media doesn't really talk about the Fediverse, and when they do, it's as a synonym for "Mastodon".

How would @gruber know about the massive development efforts to build more user-friendly alternatives to Mastodon?

No one in the media talks about the growth of *key apps, and how they're now the #2 most used Fediverse platform.

That story isn't being told.

Microsoft's AI is boosting fake stories about sex changes for toddlers on the MSN service, blindly furthering the extreme right's project to eliminate trans people.

The issue with MSN's algorithmic aggregation after they fired their human team was first brought to their attention last December, when the service boosted fake stories about Bigfoot and Mermaids. #trans #journalism #AI

Microsoft AI Aggregates Lies From the Daily Caller

There are no medical interventions for transgender young before puberty. A false Daily Caller story claiming otherwise was disseminated by Microsoft’s AI-powered MSN service.

Well since I've not uploaded any #ElevenLabs content in a while, here's the stock Adam voice giving a speech, even though he's crap at writing them. but apparently the reason why people still hire him is because of the demonic noises he finishes with.
Seriously where the hell it's getting those noises from I have no idea.
And he doesn't seem to know what his accent is supposed to be.
Transcript is in the alt text thing.
