@aral well, there is an implicit judo in it.
To acknowledge losses on both sides means each side has to acknowledge the deaths of the other. Extremes only tend to look at one side. Theirs. The middle is what moves and needs to.
Of course, the football team could have done nothing. Apathy.
Instead they chose to speak for the dead.
The dead don't have sides.
Just the living do that.
I completely agree with you on all of this. It's all so absurdly transparent I can't believe anybody over age 12 falls for it.
To follow, totally tangential joke on the interview question bullshit.

@dalias I'm not surprised. I mean, I am a little, but really not.
I've long seen ACLU as "neutral" (read: libertarian) who only cares about the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. The many bastions of freedom failing is what has gotten us into this mess, and now ACLU hits me up as if they just keep doing what they've always done will get us out of it.
To see EFF go down the same sanctimonious path does not surprise me as much as it should perhaps. Thanks for the heads up.
The Stratos AI datacenter in Utah got the go-ahead. 2x the size of Manhattan, & at 9GW, it will consume more electricity than Utah itself. It's also likely to directly imperil the Great Salt Lake, due to the absurd amount of water needed for cooling.

If you use BigAI, you are driving up demand for such computational obscenities, projects whose sole purpose is to mal-distribute wealth, power & control to those that already have far too much of it.
To use is to support.
Settings in #Fedilab have been reworked to improve the UX.
A search feature is now available to filter them. The settings are also organized into clearer categories, and the matching item is highlighted when you tap it.
To translators, this feature introduces many new keywords used for filtering. Thank you for your contribution.
@WrenArcher The thing that's wild about it though is the disconnect. They literally interact with us daily and don't even notice, let alone care. But if they were told we're trans...oh, then suddenly it'd be different. Maybe even worse because we got away with it.
To hit the double word score, I'm nonbinary and letting people presume I'm a woman is itself a compromise for self protection. And I'm not even on HRT, so what they perceive as woman is really a slight shift in aesthetics.
