If either "reality has a liberal bias" or "scientific institutions have become ideologically captured" then something akin to this would make sense. Of course, how you would distinguish between the two I'm not sure.

Maybe on the coasts, but I can tell you that here in the mid-West, booze is still going strong.

Does anyone else feel like Signal is acting like Recall is the only app that could record your screen on Windows? It seems like this is something they should have been stopping for a long time and they are finally addressing this loophole?
As somebody who had to use signal messages as evidence in court, there are legitimate reasons to capture screenshot of signal. If people have spyware then that’s on them. When the OS becomes the spyware… well I support signal’s timing on this.

A lot easier to do when about half of it is already going to his ex wife.

So if I own stock in a company that purchases materials that use a mining process that pollutes... I am therefore responsible for that pollution? I mean what about the people who buy my product then? I wonder what percentage of academics are responsible for tenuous studies meant to push a political agenda?
I've been doing music composition and songwriting as a hobby for a decade. 4.0 is where Suno added enough features where workshopping things conceptually there first made it worth it, even for someone who can and often will, break apart stems into composite instruments and then manually adjust as needed. People always worry about what this means at the low effort "spray and pray" approach to music, but ultimately, it also allows for faster and cheaper iteration and development for all involved. Is the finished product ultimately "better" though? You be the judge.
For comparison, here's a song where I forced myself to do everything within Suno (took less than a week):

And here's one where I did the manual composition, worked with session artists, and it took a couple months and cost me several hundred dollars:

The worst comments are the flagged ones. The most untrue are the dead ones. Trust the establishment to not falsely characterize their critics. Why woudl anyone call something that opens with, "With the rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., brain worms have gotten a bad rap..." a hit piece?
Oh baby, give me that big pharma K street revolving door propaganda! Empiricism is dead, credentialism gutted it to make a skin suit that academia now wears, so it's the science now! Preventative care is only legitimate if you pay the health industry for it! I look forward to the day when we can just label anyone who doesn't trust "the science" as insane so we can lock them up. Maybe if I'm a good boy they'll give me a weekly vaccine to protect me from misinformation. I wouldn't want to risk me having unapproved positions if I'm accidentally exposed.
