Det er klassisk mobbaråtferd å krevje retten til å definere identiteten til andre basert på ditt eige visuelle inntrykk.

Meet the academics refusing to use generative AI Researchers say they have their reasons for avoiding AI tools — and they’re sick of arguing about it. www.nature.com/articles/d41... h/t @maartenp.bsky.social

“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”

when u tax the rich

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Not that the US isn't a lawless land anyway

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on here, the Greens aren't splitting the left vote because this Labour party isn't left wing.

I'm going to be 10 times as woke, just to make her wrong.

bunch of fucking idiots. feel horrible for BIPOC and queer people in the UK today.

No one needs a trillion dollars. That kind of wealth can’t be earned. It’s stolen. Hoarded. Accumulated by keeping others impoverished. It dehumanizes you. Musk could have funded USAID for decades with his pocket change, instead he sentenced poor people to death. Abolish the billionaire class.

keir starmer is not taking responsibility. he's just saying the word 'responsibility'. taking responsibility would be resigning.

Slop is death.

😬 PSA time! Your body may be qualified to make food for infants. With the a lot of expertise and RIGOROUS safety we can mimic that food. But *you* definitely are NOT qualified to do that. Because; 1. Infants are very easy to accidentally kill. 2. Bacteria are VERY hard to intentionally kill. 1/2

OG: Folk flest er dritdårlige på å skjønne hvordan bakterier fungerer og holde god nok hygiene når de lager og oppbevarer mat. Det går som regel helt greit for folk med ganske ferdig immunforsvar, men er ikke noe jeg ville testet ut på små babyer akkurat

I'm honoured to get the Amnesty Award, but honestly this was a group effort. Thanks to the crew, fact-checkers, lawyers, journalists, and the team at Nebula who helped bring this scandal to light. And thanks to @jessothomson.co.uk for collecting the award on my behalf! Here’s my acceptance speech:

Not even inviting representatives for groups that are actively sabotaging international efforts actually helps with progress?! Who would have thought! Thanks so much for posting this video @simonoxfphys.com, learning this conference exists gave me an energy boost this morning. 1/3

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

John just invalidated the US legal system, btw. If courts, laws and judges aren't political, then they can have no say over what is or isn't allowed in a society, nor over how resources are to be distributed. Because deciding that *is* politics, in a democracy.

Planning to procrastinate later today.

"... Vi må vise at vi er mange flere enn de som sprer drit, sier han." Kommentarer kan helautomatiseres om de ikke trenger å fremstå som intelligente eller gjennomtenkte. De som sprer drit kan se ut som så mange flere enn de egentlig er som de bare vil, i kommentarfeltene. 1/2

I will never vote for a party which attacks trans human rights. In any election. That's a hard line for me, and any party who wants my vote will need to bear that in mind.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

So, anyway. I recommend @waterfox.net

Your right-wing commenters have some weird takes @humanistreport.bsky.social. But so do I! I think socialized healthcare is the best of 3 options to profit from healthcare under capitalism. Each of which structurally incentivize different societal changes affecting their long-term "ROI": 1/7🧵

The men think women are womening wrong again.

For a moment, I thought I was somehow managing to burn the water I was trying to boil. Panic never leads to rational conclusions, does it? No, my chaotic ass had just managed to somehow get a nicotine bubblegum in between the pot and the resistive cooktop plate. I *DO NOT* recommend trying this. 👃

Schibsteds «betal ekstra eller la oss selge dine data til annonsørene»-grep er i realiteten en devaluering av mediehusets aviser. Hvordan kan Aftenposten og VG heretter ha troverdighet i saker om personvern ?

Coming soon to a right-wing party near you

I'm just going to assume that every single politician who doesn't push to ban "AI" and targeted advertisements is corrupt

and *every* other meta owned platform/product

BUT What if we "de-extinct" arboreal squid that climb around pretending to be bark on trees in endangered forests and spray huge clouds of potent aerosolized hallucinogens instead of ink when feeling threatened?

Norwegian politicians right now: - Big Tech is evil so we should give Big Tech even more data for their constant global surveillance

Even if Streeting weren't lying -- which I'm sure he is -- he'd be showing a pernicious type of bigotry. It's the type where trans people are "accepted" as a deranged underclass that needs Wise Sane Adults to tell us what we can do. We have to be the poor folks they "help" and can't have agency

I hate having to ask this. Does anyone know how to get an article removed from Grokipedia? I've just discovered there is an entry about me, and I'd really prefer there wasn't one. Seems my sites are also 'referenced' several times.

It was one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen in real time. I was watching from a livestream from @filmthepolicela.bsky.social and watched a guy get cold cocked in the face and then watched the students and colleagues be attacked by outsiders while the cops stood by. I didn’t know what to do.

People are dying. I do not have the time, energy, or inclination to coddle the emotions of those who will not engage voluntarily, and therefore will bail once they are uncomfortable or hurt. Fascism hurts. Blaming antifascists for telling you this gives it all away.

Så RAs redaktør bedyrer ytringsfrihet først. Bruker god tid. Tilbyr samtidig imøtegåelse. Publiserer. Det ligger ute en stund. Så kommer reaksjonene. Masse reaksjoner. Og nå har de bestemt seg for å avpublisere. Sååå som transkvinne.. er du avhengig av at streite cis-folk står opp for deg.

It should be way more expensive still since they should be getting tagged for every dollar of climate impact/electricity cost/etc externality they’re imposing on all of us

I need y’all to explain this to everyone you know. It has never been more important. The world is too fragile right now for us to be this naive.

Were they tipped off by the fact that trans athletes weren't a problem for all of human history until conservatives started purchasing every major media institution in 2013 or so

Yeah, my initial reaction is that this is astonishingly obvious, of course trans women aren't a threat to women's sports, we don't have a psychical advantage, and it should be obvious to everyone, but then I remember how often cis people are astonished to learn trans women's breasts develop with HRT

Kan Aftenposten-kommentator Synnøve Vereide Trampe ha basert teksten sin om transpersoner på et avisinnlegg fra en britisk anti-trans-aktivist? Andre har kritisert selve forskningen. Jeg reagerte på at teksten føltes fremmed og at hun har tatt rare språklige valg. En tråd 🧵⬇️

Hvis du faktisk har lest det jeg har skrevet så vet du veldig godt at jeg ikke har noe imot en aldersgrense, jeg har noe imot at vi må bevise alder digitalt. Jeg hadde heller sett at vi blokkerte Instagram/Snapchat/Facebook for hele landet. Så ille mener jeg at dette forslaget er.

chuds watching indiana jones and getting mad when their boys get got

Listen. I can’t sit in a chair for more than an hour, I can’t walk or stand. I can’t do politics. I need folks who can to reach out to politicians and tell them that digital age verification is a Trojan horse.

Them: "think of the children!!!!" Me: omg yes you are so right. we should abolish child prisons, stop funding militaries that slaughter children, ensure every child has access to medical care and healthy food, provide mental health counselors in schoo-- Them: NO WE MEAN CENSOR THE INTERNET!!!

I’ll make kid friendly tutorials on how to make your own VPN. I will on purpose teach anyone who’s interested how to subvert this bullshit.

The anti-trans playbook is being wheeled out against neurodivergent kids more and more in UK papers [Saturday Times]

Jeg synes at de fleste av kravene burde være bare for boliger som skal selges eller leies ut, ikke for å bygge egen bolig. Vil så veldig gjerne få meg en flekk med bakke midt i skogen for å plante et hus, men det er så mange rare krav og regler som tvinger meg til å forholde meg til boligmarkedet.
