I’ve only ever heard it called fascist by people at both a) have no idea what iran is or b) have no idea what a fascist is.

I just finished with it and its terrible in this regard. There is no disambiguation between “just the facts” and the author/ narrators political opinions and identity. Not to say those opinions are wrong or invalid but its incredibly important to separate them and to clearly identify which is which, which even the most amateur journalist understands.

Its the framing that’s the problem, and its often what a framing leaves out that ends up being more telling. You might re-watch it with a lens for what is missing rather than what is said, and honestly, its not my job to make the gaps in your political education apparent. Like, if you come away from this video with its explanation of “why” things in Iran are the way that they are, you’ll come away wildly miseducated.

Just because something agrees with your bias, this doesn’t make it correct.

Minute 1:30, it calls them a “fascist dictatorship”…

Look, I’m not going to apologize for Iran in any manner. But calling them fascist isn’t, its not quite right. Fascism is a form of political identity. It has a specific meaning. The regime in Iran might be terrible, but its not fascist, per se…

Also the comments on this video are wild.

This video is hard to suffer through. I’d love to hear a deep dive, but I can’t stomach this.

Right now? Burning their hats.

But last time they stormed the capitol. So like, sure, dismiss, but don’t underestimate.

Its not the best production value, but I helped put this together last year:

Its literally your job to refuse an illegal order as a US service member.

I think the combination of

taking away their healthcare, pensions, income and safety nets

is making the redline more material.

Also, like, its hard to overstate how central the pedophilia/ pizzagate / “secret cabal” / qanon shit was to the movement that got Trump elected. Its practically their whole identity, and Trump, I think, I think he see’s himself as no longer needing or having a use for these people.

And those people have had their foodstamps cut off, the mexican placed is closed because of deportation fears, the economy has gone to shit and labor is drying up because no one is doing projects in bad economic times, and now it sure fucking seems like its their fucking guy protecting the pedophiles.

I had an aunty once say to me “there is rarely one reason for anything”. So yeah, its more than one issue, but clearly, if Trump looks like he’s protecting pedophiles (which they objectively are), welp. The right has been arming up for decades. Maybe this time they’ll find the right target.

drowning in bussy maybe

I truly do not think any of the ruling class in congress or the white house understand how utterly exhausted and incensed people are at this point.

they’re truly playing with fire.

And they say male intimacy is dead

Isn’t this how some people at like, a very high level, were communicating??

Like it wasn’t in excel, but they had an e-mail account which they both had access to, and would just edit drafts back and forth instead of sending.

How do you know Kelly Rowland isn’t just texting back and forth with a high level CIA operative and is engaging in quality opsec?

Apoligies, but I can’t understand what you are saying unless its presented in the form of a 19th-century lithograph.

I was going to say, its not like truck stops stopped existing…

seems simple enough to solve, just need to come up with the male equivalent of this:

Man… fuck the Saudis.

Its phenomenal. I have found a few places where it falls down, and its usually when the text is incredibly small. You can see its being down sampled before it gets handed off to the model. It falls down on like, one example I found, some bank disclosure documentation from bank of america:

It just came out as all I’s and o’s.

For the emails, book text, letters, etc… I genuinely haven’t found a place it didn’t work correctly as I’ve been spot checking the output.

If you have colab you can just try the script I put up. All you need to do to have it run is to book mark the house oversite committee google drive folder to your local google drive.

Yeah its ridiculous how much is in there. I’m pulling their current repo to see how they are building their DB so if they don’t get back to me, I can at least combine the two databases.

And if any one reading this wants a copy of what I’ve processed so far, I’m more than happy to share.

But it looks to me like they dropped a couple hundred on just processing those text files. It would be north of 2.5k additional to process the data I’m creating.

That being said, mine only goes as far as extracting the contents and creating a sha256 hash to keep track of the documents themselves/ document tampering. It doesn’t take the next step to extract names, locations, dates, etc…

I’m working that out now but it seems like the way to do this would be so it fits into their DB seamlessly.

Naively singing along:

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb

In the shape of an “L” on her forehead

Thanks for sharing this.

I’ve been running OCR on the images folder of the files since last week and just reached out to the creator to see if they want the data I’ve processed. Right now that entire graph is ONLY the “text” portion of the dump. There are 26k images, which are mostly pictures of emails and other documents. I’m like 80% through processing them (although I’ve had some hiccups in the past 24 hours).
