Chaya Raichik went on Tucker Carlson and said the "LGBTQ community has become this cult... It's extremely poisonous." She later says "They're just evil people, and they're out to groom kids. They're recruiting."

This is one of the most bigoted interviews I've ever heard.
This is 1970's Anita Bryant level bigotry and it's getting promoted by Tucker "Dan White Society" Carlson. These bigots feel so emboldened to spew their hatred openly and incite violence against the LGBTQ community.
I did an in depth thread on the connections between Chaya's tweets and bomb threats. It's not just her but all anti LGBTQ moral panic stories invoke this response now.

This woman is a child. She laughs her way through her explanation of her public bullying campaign of Taylor Lorenz. Then, Tucker tips his hand and talks about "controlling the language to control the conversation."
Chaya Raichik was on Capitol grounds on January 6th.

Do those Catholics want to go there? The catholic church has the largest systemic child sexual abuse scandal in history.
Fixed it for them.
And it isn't over! More and more child sexual abuse scandals keep coming out all over the world.

There's been a network of anti trans hate accounts that sprung up in mid November after Elon relaxed moderation rules around trans folks. The result is now people directly saying they want to throw trans people into woodchippers.
At least two of these accounts, "troonytoons" and "transphobesWs_" changed handles, scrubbed all their content before mid November, and rebranded as anti trans accounts. Others are popping up and they're all following each other. Their follower counts are quickly growing.
Given how high profile accounts like Chaya Raichik, and Maya Forstater follow some of these already, this network of accounts helps cultivate ant-trans content that can percolate up to bigger accounts that can get wider distribution. It's a social media hate machine.

For the last year, bomb threats have been connected to anti LGBTQ hate.

In particular, there are multiple verified instances of correlation between bomb threats and Libs of Tiktok's tweets within a broader epidemic of bomb threats tied to anti LGBTQ hate.

A thread: 🧵
Back in May, LoTT tweeted about Kiel, Wisconsin launching a Title IX investigation into the bullying of a trans student. The school was hit with several bomb threats causing them to close and go remote. The school caved and dropped the investigation.

pbswisconsin.org/news-item/bomb….
The most high profile instance of bomb threats was Boston Children's after LoTT spent weeks going after them. At least 2 people have been arrested for making bomb threats against Boston Children's. It's still happening, but due to how often, the news stopped covering it.

I'm a copyright abolitionist but doesn't compiling the AI generated work into a book require some level of creativity? I mean, if clicking a button to take a selfie is sufficient for protection, why isn't authoring certain prompts to create a narrative?
If the author edited the photos, and edited the text to the prompts to make them coherent, wouldn't that count as having a degree of creativity? Looking at it another way, the book as a whole is a result of human authorship even if individual components are machine generated.
Making AI generated images and text are not as easy as just entering prompts in and getting a complete work back. It often takes precise language using the creativity of the person using the AI generator similar to a photographer positioning their camera in a certain way.

Elon is self destructing in real time. He is attacking Ross Gerber, a major hedge fund manager and Twitter investor. This isn't going to end well.
The point Elon was making about capital flight to bonds as interest rates rise generally works at the broad market level not individual stocks. The SP 500 is nearly flat over 6 months while Tesla is in free fall.
His point about interest rates and bank accounts isn't even stating it accurately. The vast majority of equity, 83%, is owned by the top 10%. Most of those folks are not stashing their cash in money market accounts but instead moving funds into bonds and debt based funds.

What's mind boggling about insane conspiracy theories about systemic child sexual abuse, is that there have been several institutions that have been guilty of just that. The Catholic Church, Southern Baptist Convention, and the Boy Scouts all had massive child sex abuse scandals.
You don't need some absolutely bonkers conspiracy theory about children being shipped in Wayfair furniture to find evidence of systemic abuse of children. There's plenty of powerful institutions that do engage in systemic abuse but they are protected by the cultural zeitgeist.
Sexual abuse is typically a function of power and authority. The worst abuses always occur in institutions where power and influence are unquestioned. Churches are a perfect example of this. Accusing a priest of abuse could mean a whole family was ostracized by the community.
