What if the biggest conspiracy is our government’s refusal to believe more than a 1000 women (and children) for many decades?

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

oh god it under my keyboar keys

Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things

The political rant at the end of this video is something else. Unexpected, strong, and very well stated. I liked @techconnectify.bsky.social before, but even more so after this. I hope people listen.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

att kräva ID för att använda internet (för annat än typ, myndighetskontakter, betaltjänster och bankärenden) är en jättedålig idé och kommer alltid vara en jättedålig idé oavsett vad syftet är.

"Men lagen berör bara barn under 15!" Fel. Lagen tvingar de sajter som satts upp på en lista att ID-kontrollera _samtliga_ användare. Vilket innebär ett förbud mot anonymitet, samt en kännbar kostnad för mindre, ickekommersiella forum. Och hur blir det med Wikipedia? Seriös fråga i sammanhanget.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

See me for more ICE melting tips...

As I've written before, people don’t trust institutions because institutions aren't doing the job. Democracy rests on three pillars: Verification, Deliberation, Accountability, which can be understood as being substantial, performative, and simulated. demos.co.uk/research/ver...

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

" For Trump, there are no allies, only enemies and marks—and of those, only enemies can deserve respect."

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I'm so happy for her

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

All amerikansk aggression är möjlighet att ta tillbaka en till marknadsandel från amerikanska företag och för europeiska aktörer att expandera, särskilt inom tech. Sparka ut dem och bygg ett bättre internet enligt EU-standard!

When the racist meme becomes national policy

Been thinking a lot about how many of these anti-trans laws may become outdated within a decade or two as advances in biotech may allow trans women to obtain working ovaries grown from their own cells which by their definition mean that they are a "biological woman" and vice versa.

The solution is not to age gate the Torment Nexus

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility. The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

Molly's being characteristically thoughtful. I'll be more of an asshole: THE AI COMPANIES HAVE USED WIKIPEDIA'S SHIT FOR YEARS. It costs millions of fucking dollars in infrastructure to serve up content to these companies. Should Wikipedia subsidize them? No? Then it's *good* they're getting paid!

I love that Wikipedia's edit history is public because it only takes two clicks to get to the very first version of the "ant" article in its entirety from 2001. Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia! You've come so far

Tror min största rädsla är att 1989-2014 kommer vara ett underbart undantag i världshistorien

I'll go fight for Europe in Greenland I guess but could we maybe distract Trump til like May or ideally June

Nürnberg var mycket bra! Ganska rolig (witty), och jävligt tajt om egonas kamp. Castingen! Mycket lost opportunity att inte ha med en Hannah Arendts eller (nån kvinna som kunde spela nåt annat än sin makes cheerleader, onåbar drömfru eller lögnaktig fresterska = de enda tre kvinnorna i filmen)
