On November 15th, Twitter(X) will update its Terms of Service to remove the opt-out for allowing user content to be used to train their AI.

If you know anyone who's on Twitter and is tired of being a commoditized product, please let them know this change is coming, and suggest they move to an alternative social media service as soon as possible.

The alternative service? Isn't it obvous? ๐Ÿ˜‰

@phac3ti0us Trump does outrageous things like this only to provoke a knee-jerk response from his deplorable base, not to solve real problems or address actual issues.

He is MAGA's favorite shock jock.

November 13th marks the beginning of Transgender Awareness Week, a week dedicated to raising visibility for transgender people and addressing the issues that members of the community face. It leads up to Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on November 20th, which honors the memory of those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence. ย 

@Graci The erasure of LGBTQ people from the American consciousness is accelerating. Will there also be concentration camps for these folks?

Senate Republicans select Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as their new leader, replacing longtime GOP stalwart Mitch McConnell. t.co/2DPN56Xzzy%20https://t.co/xLAFd3pWcZ

Before Musk, Twitter was one of the most important journalistic outlets in the world. Now The Guardian, one of the most important newspapers in the world, has abandoned it.

The purpose of America's border walls will radically change over the next four years of a Trump administration.

Originally built to keep unwanted outsiders from entering the country, they will eventually function more to imprison Americans who are looking to escape a country devolving into an armed camp of fascism and religious mania.

The success of the Republican party is based on training people to be proud of their shitty behavior instead of feeling guilty for it. An undercutting of the very fabric of society. A nation of self-righteous, selfish bullies.

Jack Smith will step down as Special Counsel before Donald Trump takes office.

The move will allow him to finish his report and leave the job before he can be fired.

A critical mass of voters simply did not hear about [trump's] positions, or did not believe them if they did. (The most bleak thread in this story are interviews with unauthorized immigrants who say they would have voted for Trump if they could, assuming that surely he would not deport them, as theyโ€™re honest and hardworking folks.)

NEW TRUMP "PROMISES":

1. A new national University w/free tuition.

2. Ten new โ€œfreedom citiesโ€.

3. A new countrywide missile defense system.

4. Manned missions to Mars.

5. Completion of the southern border wall.

6. Cut the overall federal budget by 33%.

Oh, and Mike Huckabee will achieve peace in the Middle East.

If you believe he'll keep even one of these promises in the next four years, I have a NFT of a bridge I can sell you.

@SFAstroStone We're already irrigating Gaza with Mike Huckabee. Should have the same effect.

@Zevon Mike Huckabee is not Jewish. He is an evangelical Christian. And he will do without question anything Donald Trump tells him to do (his main and AFAIK his only qualification).

Trump is appointing Mike Huckabee ambassador to Israel.

This feels simultaneously like the punchline of a really funny joke that I want to laugh my ass off at, and a nightmare that I can't wake up from.

"Grammy, is it true that girls used to be able to vote, and have real jobs, and not have babies if they didn't want to?"

"Yes child, we used to be able to do all those wonderful things."

"Why did they stop that, Grammy?"

"Because the price of eggs was too high, sweetie."

@TLP32 Trump will never acknowledge that the economy was great when he wasn't president. Instead he'll claim, after less than a day on the job and with no supporting evidence, that he has miraculously made it great again.

And his cult followers will believe him.
