corporations will do everything possible to neuter the greatest mass communication device in history (the internet) so that it can’t be used to organize against them
Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

American liberals & the American "left" refuse to see Israel as an instrument through which the US subjugates West Asia because any acknowledgement that their country's interests & the logic of capital are realised in colonised regions through openly exterminatory violence runs
the vast majority of russians were illiterate peasants, infant mortality was through the roof, and the working class lived in terrible conditions. the bolsheviks not only built a better economy quicker by every metric, but also made everyone’s lives better
The reality: Communists destroyed the Russian economy and derailed the very successful industrialization under Nicholas II. There was literally no reason for a 15-year gap of terror and mass murder, and then having to play catch-up with even more terror and mass murder

Every NBA champion since 2001 finished the regular season inside this Title Zone.
At least +3.3 points per 100 possessions better than average, with no real hole on offense or defense.
Two weeks in, 10 teams are in it. History says about half will still be there in April.

marx believed a peaceful revolution was maybe possible under extreme circumstances which only existed in the brief period of history he experienced and that STILL doesn’t mean he thought you could vote liberals into office and achieve socialism
Massive cope. If Marx was alive today you guys would call him a liberal. Bro said peaceful revolution was possible, fervently opposed organizing around ideological unity, and personally wrote a letter to Lincoln praising him. You guys are anarchists who LARP as Marxists

the idea of a “peaceful” revolution hinged on the bourgeoisie not actually holding total state power yet in some countries and therefore being susceptible to mass movements without violence. those conditions no longer exist in any capitalist nation

It was never about efficacy.
Sidious doesn't need Anakin there to deal with tougher Jedi. He can keeping dumping clones into the temple until the job is done.
He sends Anakin primarily as a test of loyalty. If Anakin will do this atrocity, he will do anything.
But also, this+

This is a direct consequence of the blockade imposed by the United States of America
Doctors in one of Cuba’s hospitals tell 60 Minutes that when backup generators fail, they have finished surgeries using the light from their cellphones and pumped oxygen by hand for critically ill patients on ventilators. cbsn.ws/47SmDPm

Do not quote Rosa Luxembourg you are in the DSA. At every point social democrats fought against what she's stood for. Social democrats abandoned the German revolution, like they will abandon the American revolution.
BP throws that he’s hitting for infield popouts
Indian cricket bowler Deepak Chahar hit a baseball 175 meter heights like he eats 100 - 500 baseballs for breakfast every day
Baseball looks so easy yet Americans have hyped up this useless game for no reason
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clip is from MLBx Mumbai (Oct 24), a 3-on-3 exhibition held on a small field inside a football arena. No report records a 175 m hit. That would beat the longest home run ever tracked in MLB: 505 ft (154 m), by Nomar Mazara in 2019.
