PugJesus@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Former OpenAI Board Member Says Sam Altman Created a Culture of ‘Psychological Abuse’3·1 year agoThe thing is that when all this went down, there was speculation that he was fired by corporate drones wanting to make Line Go Up, because a large percentage of the company’s employees signed a letter demanding he return.
PugJesus@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Spying, hacking and intimidation: Israel’s nine-year ‘war’ on the ICC exposed4·1 year agoSadly unsurprising. Israel doesn’t interact with international institutions in good faith.
PugJesus@kbin.socialOPMto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Woman condemned to die of starvation for the crime of adultery, Mongolia, 191316·1 year agoI took over the community because it was unmoderated but already active, but I’m not a fan of the ‘x-porn’ name. In any case, this is just a place for historical photographs of interest.

PugJesus@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Jerry Seinfeld is interrupted onstage by pro-Palestinian protesters — again9·1 year agoMy favorite part is where he was the least funny member of a very funny show in literally every episode.
PugJesus@kbin.socialOPMto HistoryPorn@lemmy.world•German-American farmer tarred and feathered at the height of anti-German bigotry in the USA, WW1, 191823·1 year agoPart of the reason why WW2 didn’t spark the same level of anti-German backlash is because many who were beginning their political careers during WW1 were horrified at the anti-German bigotry that arose during WW1; and thus when WW2 came around, made sure to portray the WW2 German government as tyrannizing the German people, rather than synonymous with them.
