🚨Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity
A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology.
They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her.
She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance.
The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others.
We need justice, accountability, and answers.

This video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder 15 medical workers who are clearly in ambulances, and then they buried them and their ambulances to cover up their War Crime was released 18 months ago.
Of course it was completely ignored.
DONT LET THEM.

UK police arrest 94-year-old human rights lawyer Margaret Owen outside the US embassy in London for protesting against genocide and for Palestine. There is no democracy in the West. There is only capitalism, imperialism, and fascism.

This is historic!
Dockworkers across 5 continents and 113 ports are striking today to demand an end to their workplaces being used to transport bombs.
This is what our rulers fear most: workers coming together to liberate humanity from capitalism and imperialism.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it’s “quite terrible” that people have so much DRAM sitting in their own PCs instead of being used in data centers.
“Everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer. And be used 5% of the time,”
He argues that cloud data centers should make better use of limited memory supplies instead of people running AI models locally.

Sam Altman is laying the ground work to take away everyone’s computers so he can use the RAM to build more data centers. Someday soon folks are going to wish they had listened to the socialists instead of these psychotic tech billionaires.

Ian McKellen reciting Shakespeare's writing on racist anti-immigration riots in London during his time.
It is excellent.
They have been banging the same drum for 400 years.

You need to watch this murder on live television. This is Pete Hegseth’s pastor getting absolutely wrecked.

It's amazing how often we will see the Chinese tank man picture, and have it used to demonise China.
But for this identical picture of a boy resisting Israel's illegal invasion of his homeland, a boy who was very soon after murdered by Israel.
Absolute SILENCE.

Fox News Reporter: “Tom, why are you here [at Trump’s rally]?”
Tom: “Because there’s nothing like seeing a cult right up close!”
Tom is out here doing research on cults at the Trump rally. He is definitely in the right place. 😂

lol my lawn mower is only used 1x a week. Should I rent one from OpenAI instead?
Also, who caused the DRAM shortage? It wasn't consumers...
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”
I don't agree with this guy about a lot of things, but I agree that censoring expression, artistic or otherwise is dangerous and evil.
