The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

the humanity of the AIDS crisis: the ward by gideon mendel

But thanks to government indifference to AIDS and HIV, never benefitted from safer sex information programming that I did in the late 80’s.

A few years is all it took to go from men dying alone and uncared-for, ignored by an ignorant and hateful government, to our community angry and outraged, launching the safer sex and AIDS awareness campaigns that saved lives like mine.

Viimeiset kolme vuotta olen viettänyt Manse Priden yksin, katsoen vierestä, kun bissetyttöset nuolee toisiaan. I say: NO MORE! Tänä vuonna on Kaltsun vuoro!

Täällä siis ikäisekseen nuoren oloinen kolmenkympin puolivälin korvilla oleva, alt/punk-tyyppinen, trans nancy boy etsii MansePride-kuningastaan. Power bottom, switch, short king, down to clown. Kuumaa menoa luvassa hauskalle ja karismaattiselle (vanhemmalle) herrasmiehelle, jolla on hyvä hygienia, avoin mieli ja seikkailunhalua.

Olethan valmis lähtemään jatkoille Väärän Väen reiveihin, mulla on jo lippu enkä aio missata niitä kinkereitä. Seikkaillaan yksi ilta tai jos oikein natsaa, niin katsotaan mihin tie vie.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.
