Trade embargo.

CRETAK: A glass of Romulan ale, Doctor?

BASHIR: Thank you, Senator.

ROSS: The trading embargo has been officially lifted, if you were wondering.

BASHIR: It hadn't crossed my mind, actually.

ROSS: To one of the many benefits of the Alliance.

Not only is it normalized, but it's being weaponized. See, for example, the recent XZ backdoor which was equal parts hacking and a psi-op against the maintainer.

The bill lists specific actions that fall under the proposed definition: abuse against children that includes animal torture, bestiality or cannibalism, or forcing a child to ingest urine or feces, enter a coffin or grave containing a corpse, or take drugs as part of the ritual.

Wouldn't this include celebrating communion?

In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.

In other words, they're not going to act on the ones that don't align with their own political ideology.

I think we should have a rule that says if a LLM company invokes fair use on the training inputs then the outputs are public domain.

“I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run — the freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do,” Haley said at the beginning of her response.

She went on to say: “I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. And I will always stand by the fact that I think government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people.

Darned guv'ment trampling the rights of slaveholders.

"Jarring" would have also been acceptable.

Most people are so desensitized to ads that they barely register. So the advertisers ramp up the attention-grabbing. Repeat. So when I actually see an advertisement it nearly knocks me out of my chair because I'm not desensitized anymore.

This article is frustratingly vague on what the judge actually did. Probably because it's not nearly as clickbaity. The judge has blocked enforcement of the new law until the lawsuit has been resolved. Given the 1st amendment implications that's the right call for the judge to make even if the law is ultimately upheld.
