Indeed I made that point in my post. Getting liars on the record is an important function. It is however an empty gesture if the news organization is unwilling to take a #CommonSense stance when confronted with an ugly inexcusable reality.
This moment now, is that point in time, when legitimate #NewsMedia organizations get to fulfill the obligations of membership within the #FourthEstate
To spell out the obvious is often to call it into question.

5/5 I have suggested to Harry and Meghan that they might find a more practical use for such newspapers in the private quarters. Given the quality of the prose, it would be far more useful as—shall we say—domestic paper for the water closet. It is the only way to treat a rag that has forgotten its place.

and so this should bring up the next obvious question:
What happens to the AI investment when the AI slop has replaced the copyrighted human generated data because all the humans have been fired or are not being paid to generate new content

#democracy is more than voting. Lets start asking the hard questions.
Greens injecting common sense into Politics in Australia:
"The legacy of the horrific and appalling violence in Bondi cannot be the undermining of political, civil and human rights or a law that can be weaponised against people who use their conscience to speak out against human rights abuses and atrocities in this country, or overseas.
This bill is broad, it is vast, and it is really complex. And we need to make sure that it is scrutinised and we do our due diligence on this bill."
Greens deputy leader, Mehreen Faruqi, said.

250 years ago today, Thomas Paine's Common Sense was published anonymously.
"Common sense will tell us, that the power which hath endeavoured to subdue us, is of all others, the most improper to defend us."
250 years ago today "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, advocating independence from Great Britain, was published. In the 47 pages Paine collected moral (not the FITWH kind of morals) and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government.

Thomas Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense was published today, 1776.
Still perhaps the best-selling American work of literature, #CommonSense by #ThomasPaine was first published #ThisDayInHistory in 1776. The English-born #Enlightenment #deist presented an argument for an emergent American #NationalIdentity as distinct from that of Great Britain.
in case you alway wondered where it is - "[Rep]Public University of Common Sense" is where #TalcAlf lives :ma_dundee:
Totally doing this. What could go wrong?
🎩🤓 Behold, the blog that bravely attempts to explain the mystical Q, K, V #matrices as if they're the holy trinity of #AI. Spoiler alert: it's mostly a glorified game of 'which word matters?' because we all need another reason to overcomplicate common sense. 🙄🔍

As 2025 wraps up here with 6 and half hours left. I want to remind everyone that with “#GoldenRule” and little “#commonsense” each new day will feel little better than before.
Hope 2026 turns out great and wonderful for everyone 🎉

I struggle with the concept of #commonsense, which I prefer to call #commonprejudice. Especially when it's used to describe #default #mental #skills, usually labelled #thinking and #decisionmaking. Most folks in love with "common sense" & how it's absent these days, ironically are the same people that seem to be competing to win first place in showing absolute absence of any mental skills.
