This is like one of those origin stories from a superhero movie.

'Blind Side' subject Oher alleges adoption was lie (www.espn.com)
 

Michael Oher is a great guy with great talent. It is sad to see a rich family pretended to care about him to make money off of his talent. The entire family is making money of his story while he gets nothing because all he wanted was a family.

Love this song and love Frente! You have to check out their version of bizarre love triangle. It is haunting.

Great story about how the christo-facists can abandon the teachings of Jesus will still calling themselves "followers of Jesus".

Jury awards $13 million to LAPD officers accused of drawing Hitler mustache on arrestee (www.latimes.com)
 

It appears that even the LAPD believe the LAPD cannot conduct an investigation without discrimination.

A response to the Sarah Silverman suing OpenAI post from yesterday: [AI doesn't read or write like humans, and we shouldn't act like it does.] in c/technology@beehaw.org

I think this has to do with intent. If I read a book to use it for the basis of a play, that would be illegal. If I read for enjoyment, that is legal. Since AI does not read for enjoyment, but only to use it for the basis of creating something else, that would be illegal.

Is my logic flawed?

Didn't they recently blow up a launch pad because they cut a corner? And then they had a couple of rockets blow up?

Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] Gumby@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I shared the article this morning and we have all been discussing this. One option is to request they immediately switch to Whatsapp and delete the FB message. The good part, is that our state coalition is already looking into this.

I work for an agency that works with victims of crime. State and federal laws allow for privileged, confidential communication. We have had people ask for help via social media. This is very concerning.

Veterinarian sues after Sheriff’s Department dog dies in hot patrol cruiser (www.latimes.com)
 

They killed a dog, forged a vet report, and then forged an investigation. It is almost like the police cannot be trusted.

Which music streaming app should I use? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I hate I phones and most things Apple. Maybe I am being stubborn? Is it worth looking into, even on an android?

Which music streaming app should I use? (beehaw.org)
 

I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different "stations" based on my mood. Any suggestions?

It is nice to see someone being welcoming to asylum seekers.
