i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

The "e" in "electronic" is for "evidence."

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

People in general are terrible about this, but really, you’d think Democrats would do better

Especially if they expect folks to actually read what they post

LLM makers makers do not want you to be able to understand. It's about turning the means of understanding and sensemaking into externalized products to rent.

Yet, this well-documented pattern did not appear among Black participants. The data provides evidence that Black women do not shy away from competition, nor are they any less willing to take financial risks than Black men. This suggests that the broad behavioral generalizations scientists have made about men and women for years are heavily skewed by predominantly White study samples.

So again moderation is turned over to an external source ( usually a woman)

While the data is corrected by an outside source ( usually someone in a heavily colonized country)

While it boils the earth

So one person can have the experience of having a digital yes man …

Not a single Democrat in the Colorado legislature says Jared Polis should reduce Tina Peters’ sentence. He appears set to do it anyway. The Colorado Sun asked every Democrat in the legislature Wednesday whether Polis should offer Peters clemency after the governor all but said on social media Tuesday that he plans to do so

Galloping Vapor is first with 1:3 odds
Magic Beans places at 5:4 odds

The hosts are now leaving the starting gate to return to the paddock…
