praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.

[bideogaymes]

like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!

paying liberal lip service does nothing but make sure history doesn’t remember you as the “actual bad guys”, just the cowardly bystanders & it damn sure doesn’t make any moves to protect anyone Black!

[creatingblackcharacters]

It's also like... Unless everyone over there is wearing shirts that say "Safe Catholic Irish" and "Bad UK Irish", there's no way a Black person is gonna know who is safe and who's not. So this idea that "it's not the real Irish" well then yeah the Real Irish need to stand up and get outside then because otherwise... You look just like the guy who burned my house down and I don't have time to give you a ten minute interview on your politics 🤷🏾‍♀️

was going to reply on the post, but it's restricted. agreed, Carol is 1000x more likable than Walter White. there's honestly no comparison for me, aside from the fact that VG likes writing flawed protagonists. but I think that makes it an even bigger question of why her "likability" is such an issue, when Carol is a slightly misanthropic alcoholic, but is also caring, funny, craves connection, and overall, yeah, reacts in ways that are very understandable for someone grieving their wife and dealing with an apocalypse. I do think gender is a major factor, though I understand why Rhea wouldn't want to be the one to say it

Sadly real on both counts. I only ever saw a couple episodes of BB but the thing I took away most about Walter’s character was anger. Which was completely justified! He was in a terrible situation! But I didn’t find him half so rich or compelling as Carol’s mixture of grief and fear and loneliness (one of the ironies the show does so well is demonstrate how alone she was long before the events of the show take place) and desire.

I assume White grew more multidimensional over the course of the series, given the strength of its following; it just didn’t interest me enough to stick with it.

Here’s a top tip: when a Brit makes a post about societal or institutional racism, just assume that they’re talking about their own country first instead of assuming that every single thing revolves around the United States 🤷🏻‍♀️

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.

[aetherograph]

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

[fandomsandfeminism]

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.

So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.
