Someday AI will be able to make me look like how I feel on the inside; Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me, and despair!

Not to be stubborn, but the inclusive bit is antithetical to the argument made here against the ad... Is it not ?

In some of their copy I think they talked about protecting/cherishing/partnering with indigenous cultures which is maybe a bit different from "inclusiveness" but in the same general spirit.

I would think this sort of angle wasn't exactly uncommon even at the height of colonialism.

That's some incredible restraint shown by the Moroccans, I am in awe.
It's a real shame the police wasn't called so she could spend some quality time in jail.
If she had assaulted people like this in her homeland, that's precisely where she would have ended up.

The security industry responded, promoting and selling programs that schools and local law enforcement officers adapt with fake blood, menacing masked “shooters” and simulated gunfire. Last year at Short Pump Middle School in Glen Allen, Va., school officials staged an unannounced active-shooter drill featuring multiple fire alarms, loud noises and unseen people jiggling the handles of classroom doors.

Thinking it was a real attack, students wept and texted goodbyes. Afterward, parents were furious.

law enforcement morons turning school shootings into a grift is the most amerikan shit

The bench with spikes was made by an artist [presumably to make a point about capitalism], but I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen this for real already.

There hasn't been literally this but for the last decade or so it has become a big undercurrent in urban / public design to make spaces and furnitures (including benches) "homeless-proof". You will quickly find examples by googling "hostile design" or "hostile architecture".

The video is also 11 years old (as an aside).

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #1549 on:** September 09, 2019, 12:52:38 PM »

Yeah, there's some designs out there to mess with homeless people, though as far as I know nothing has tried to monetize it yet.

Isn't it just quotes from the original article ? Can't he be both "one of history greatest revolutionary figures" and a murderous tyrant ? Do the NYT really need to preface every tweet with orange / yellow / nazi / insert your own man bad ? Is Twitter really the best place to have long context notes ?

As a huge proponent of alternative (and affordable) housing models, it was such a treat to tour the Los Feliz location of @Podshare. It's great to see such innovative solutions to housing in the midst of rising rents and high costs in Los Angeles.
