the video was indeed posted today. I watched it.

some of the AI things he showed are nice but they are not tied in any way to his other main idea, that of projecting staff on your hand and using only voice controls. That seems absolutely terrible to me. FAR less capable and FAR less convenient than a phone. what if I want to scroll Mastodon, or watch a video, or look at a map, or play a game?

Trump bei CNN: Lügen, Spott und große Versprechen https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/trump-cnn-110.html?at_medium=mastodon&at_campaign=tagesschau.de

Mass General Hospital has removed their statement saying that patients cannot ASK practitioners to mask.

Major reversal.

Everyone should be asking for N95 masks to protect themselves and their loved ones. Standard of care does not allow for preventable infections in hospitals.

I don't think it's sufficiently sunk in for people that the entire "controversy" over Bud Light's partnership with Dylan Mulvaney was that she exists and the right doesn't want trans people to exist.

She didn't do anything. They sent bomb threats to beer bottling plants and cowed a brand into submission over a popular trans woman merely existing.

The right is saing they get decided who is allowed to live their lives in peace and who isn't, and they'll enforce it with threats and violence.

Harbored "neo-nazi ideation" here is a funny way of downplaying that he had nazi tattoos and sometimes signed off his posts "heil hitler" https://mastodon.social/@washingtonpost@press.coop/110341102827087195

Despite all its promises of equality and due process under law, America has always had its scapegoats.

I didn’t know it at the time, but when I was a child my entire community became scapegoats. The attack by Imperial Japan upon Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941—a “day that will live in infamy”—made most Americans look upon anyone with a Japanese name or face as the enemy.

May is AANHPI Heritage Month, so I want to take a moment to zero in on the history that led Asian minorities in the U.S. to come together as a group and demand America fulfill its promise of justice and equality: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/scapegoats-aahpi-george-takei-essay

1. @elonmusk@twitter.com is using the Twitter to promote various memes about the anti-white bias of the media to his 138 million followers

The stuff he is tweeting is complete BS

Follow along for receipts 🧾

Getting pretty sick of seeing gun violence being framed as a mental health issue. In the UK you have more chance of winning the lottery than you do of being seriously harmed by a stranger with a diagnosable mental health condition. Many American gunmen seem motivated by hatred or women and minorities, a horrible trait but not a mental illness. Mentally ill ppl are statistically more likely to use guns for suicide than murder. So stop it.

A “remove me from this conversation” option would be great on Mastodon @Gargron

What's the point in being an Apple fanboy in this day and age? I like some of their products too, but at some point you gotta recognize that the world's wealthiest corporation doesn't really need your enthusiasm.
