    Yeah, Dems taking better than nothing deals my entire adult life has put us in a great position so I think we should definitely keep doing that.

    Right? It worked out so well during and especially immediately after the Obama years, I’d love for it to happen again.

    Best bet as said us to keep everything in but shorten the duration. Give the people good shit and then hopefully the threat of it going away works as a campaign cudgel in a few years.

    I’d rather do that than cut things completely.

    The bigger cudgel would prob be the dental/vision/hearing for Medicare. It might be a huge pain in the ass to make it temporary but it’s also easy to get old people to get really pissed off at losing their benefits, and politicians tend to care since they know the olds vote

  4. Clearview AI Has New Tools to Identify You in Photos
    Some of Clearview’s new technologies may spark further debate. Ton-That says it is developing new ways for police to find a person, including “deblur” and “mask removal” tools. The first takes a blurred image and sharpens it using machine learning to envision what a clearer picture would look like; the second tries to envision the covered part of a person’s face using machine learning models that fill in missing details of an image using a best guess based on statistical patterns found in other images.

    it's been the reality since the 2020 election that if Dems aren't aggressive on climate change now while they have the white house and house and a 51 majority in the senate then nothing else matters. If the flimsy infrastructure bill is going to water down climate change proposals NOW then we ain't getting shit "later on." there is no "later on" that matter, it's now. right now. if it gets watered down even further then enjoy your next few years on earth while they're somewhat tolerable in the US because we're fucked in the coming decades.

    I can’t wait until Trump dies and they still use him to grift people while he rots in the ground in a fake painted gold casket.

    while that tweet is satirical, it's not a million miles away from what varadkar actually believes

    That’s not fair!!! I paid my late fines over the years and now that I’m debt free, these freeloaders can get away with overdue books at taxpayer expense?!?! They should suffer like I suffered!!
