I’m just thinking of all the “gender criticals” who have told me women only do this sort of thing because they are innately suggestible and only out to please men. You see, Cambridge gels, you’re all airheads only there to improve your marriage value. (C) “defenders of women”

And there’s something about how she says it that I think might resonate. She might have that charisma the grift needs. I get the feeling she smells blood in the MAGA waters.

Listening to the third grader and her friends writing, singing, revising, and singing again an original pop song and it's wonderful to hear them negotiate and try out different things and the thought that a tech bro wants to deploy some chatbot toy into their play is just so so sad and ridiculous.

I keep coming back to this point: genAI overall has the potential to provide marginal improvements on already existing intelligent tech and infrastructure. It’s being sold as if it is all of tech now vs a 1990s desktop.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

SPOILER ALERT: The super-rich don't leave when you tax them, because they can afford to stay where they are. They just tell you they'll leave to stop you raising their taxes.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

This is a brilliant article - with a horrific beginning testifying to the crisis in UK university management - that evolves into an elegant account of the limited, repetitive, and unedifying nature of LLM creative output.

How many people ever substantially use their specific degree knowledge in their subsequent jobs? Fairly few Yet we know that having a degree in anything leads to higher earnings *over a lifetime*. I’m not confident AI is being used to maximise whatever it is in education that does that.

Thing is, this has been the general view on Bluesky for quite some time. Guys guys - what if we’re NOT the ones in a bubble

The Economist Says We Need to Invent Phrenology Again.

Trans people, feminists and a bunch of Jewish researchers pointed out the thinly veiled repackaging of antisemitic tropes by the Heritage Foundation back 6-7 years ago but because they were deploying it in anti trans rhetoric ("trans people are well poisoning child sacrificers) noone paid attention.

600k people murdered by a Nazi as part of a eugenic program to horde resources for white people. I think it's reasonable to call that a genocide.

The thing is, it didn't take hours because of inefficiency. The experience itself was the education, not the arrival at an answer. These are such false economies. And it's so thoroughly strange that so many people in education in the US in particular don't seem to grasp that.

We have to talk more how transphobia has taken strong root among well-to-do journalists & politicians when in both the UK & US, the evidence is that voters do not share it. The demographics of transphobia are people least likely to suffer prejudice in their lives. Richer, maler, whiter, straighter.

One thing to remember is that many of the people at the centre of this genuinely believe that everyone else agrees with them about the evils of government and “wokeness”. They’re like Marxists trying to provoke a spontaneous revolution that ain’t coming.

Is there a word for how companies now contact people who might buy their products once every couple of years every single fucking day with new offers. It's not just spam. I do like their products. But I'm not Imelda Marcos. I don't need shoe offers every fucking day. I don't forget I have feet.

What a fucking insane question to ask in 2025

When Republicans win elections: The people have spoken, we must let them implement their agenda. When Democrats win elections: This totalitarian FREAK must be prevented from implementing the policies he ran on nypost.com/2025/11/05/o...

And also, the way that SO many of us had a European identity - that we didn’t see any stupid burning xenophobic “sovereignty” issue - has been swept under the carpet like a dirty old family secret.

I recently made a burner account to search for material on X. It’s not even subtle.

“We want the right to incite murderous violence”

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

I also have some doubts after Greenblatt defended Elon Musk, a Hitler-saluting antisemitic conspiracy theorist openly supporting the barely legal descendants of the literal Nazis in Germany. Greenblatt is a far bigger risk to Jewish Americans.

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

There are many insidious aspects to antisemitism. One of them is that a whole lot of people only care about it if it suits their political agenda. That is true for both the left and the right.

all the other things aside the Daily News asserting that Zohran Mamdani has never indicated any position on any kind of nationalism other than Zionism when a) he has been a very vocal opponent of Hindu nationalism and b) his father is a world famous postnationalist scholar is so damn lazy

I’m waiting for the NY daily news or NY Post to start claiming there are no go areas of NYC with Sharia Law enforced. And then the NYT to have above-it-all articles on “the debate” about it.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Hey yo here’s some blue meat from me on yesterday’s election results. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

So it’s over 14 years since the Fukushima disaster, the mass deaths hoped for by cranks haven’t happened. It’s bizarre any of them are still around doing their ghoulish thing. But they are, sadly.

Unabashed. The key word is unabashed.

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

The radical right attacks trans people as a deliberate strategy: To soften you up, to weaken resolve to protect human rights and democracy. They pick on a group many people have prejudices about, to make “the left” look extreme. Mamdani shows defending democracy doesn’t mean ditching principles.

Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral race, with a campaign that was explicitly supportive of trans rights. Back when he won the primary, I made a video about why that’s such a big deal xtramagazine.com/video/zohran...

What is this feeling that isn’t cynicism and despair?

🧑‍🍳 👌 ❤️

Oh look - standing up for what you believe might just be a good idea

Greenblatt is an Islamophobe. That is disqualifying as head of the ADL. He should be forced out.

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

The GP practice are doing what the NHS says they can do: existing trans patients on PBs are allowed to continue on them. Vindictive cruelty against trans kids is the only reason this is happening.👇 One day, I hope we get a public enquiry into the Cass scandal, and ICB Sussex are held to account.

Does this ring true to anyone in their field? I am really wondering.

I've just been called a "rape enabler" by the X AI tool Grok. This is a shocking allegation which has totally taken me aback & beyond anything I've ever encountered in normal political discourse. These AI tools are supposed to be there to serve us honestly with facts. Disturbing.

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

And all the self-styled Free Speech campaigners are silent. Again. After Trump goes, they should never be let off the hook.

It's utterly disgusting for Labour to describe the appalling situation in asylum hotels as "luxury". www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

It took me a while to twig, but genuinely, even the most rabidly transphobic women have never actually encountered anything like a safety problem with trans women in their daily lives. I mean, you’d think *something* must have triggered them. But no. It’s ALL moral panic. It’s so weird.

So basically when GenX were young adults, the peak age for violent criminality. We're such an arsehole generation.
