This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence

Health insurance company got a chatbot and I have to admit it does make the process faster

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition. Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

I think one of the real challenges in discussing anything to do with trans people is that the media simply cannot accept that the anti-position is entirely eliminationist. There is no way to "exist in public whilst trans" that they will accept, right down to celebrating a doctor quitting.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Just imagine, today, if children got referred to "clinical support" if they expressed any interest in "gay feelings" with the Government saying that approval for them to be allowed to express being homosexual at school would only be likely in very limited circumstances. That's what this guidance is

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

the chairs on voyager look like the among us guy. thank you

Mornington Crescent: a rant. Or: how a goofy word game about train stations is the key to how devout causes can ruin people's ability to have a conversation. Stand clear of the closing doors, let's begin. 1/18

As much as I agree that it’s obviously very important right now to put pressure on the admin to release the full Epstein files and prosecute all of the predators involved This org is anti-sex work, pro-Nordic model, and classifies consensual sex work as exploitation.

That’s Brett Ratner there on the right.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

Wow, first the metaverse and NFTs and now this. I can't believe this keeps happening with all these expensive products that don't do anything. futurism.com/artificial-i...

This is *way* too on the nose funny

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

I'm sure I don't need to break down everything wrong with this, so consider this a recreational round of ranting. Let's start this thread 🧵 here: I can't be the only one that thinks it's worrying the zealots who named their god "God" are getting used to naming their religion "Religion".

big bill shakes is goated. sorry but i will never entertain the argument that he’s overrated. to write something like this and have it ring with such tremendous clarity four centuries later would be incredible if he pulled it off once but he did it dozens of times

Wes Streeting wants people to forget. Never let him forget.

There is no such thing as "ethical AI" when we're talking about ANY of the LLMs/genAI models that can create even somewhat usable text, images, videos, music or voices because they were all trained on stolen data and they all use massive amounts of resources. Pass it on.

I got another one: Let's say you have a net worth of $500,000. Jeff Bezos spending $100 million a year to maintain the Washington Post would be the equivalent of you spending $200 a year. In other words, less than $17/month. Roughly the cost of Netflix. To maintain a storied institution.

An autistic woman who stays up to date with current affairs still remains convinced that she’s worse than anyone in the world, sources have reported.

Explaining “no you don’t, Oprah” to my father until he tells me how much he loves me

She said: “We all probably have some autism in us. For example, I really like Call the Midwife.”

i would be overjoyed if the U.S. had a president as ethical and even-tempered as Chancellor Gowron

It's important to remember, as some people in Scottish Labour will keep reminding us, that they defeated their party's anti-trans leadership in a conference motion last year. This mattered and was important and shows the validity of their continued presence campaigning for the party as we can see:

In honour of Melania, here's a reminder that the thing Kane is applauding in this popular gif isn't good. It's very bad! It's his wife singing poorly in an opera he paid for.

Just saw a film negatively described as “sexualized” “porn-washed”, “porn-brained” and “porn-rotted” all in the same comments section and it cannot be overstated how we have lost the sex positivity culture war and purity culture is fully back and mainstream again.

ME: yeah could i get the impossible burger with cheese. THE VIZIER WHO'S BEEN ADVISING ME: ahh, an excellent choice sire. an imitation of the genuine article. there are some "friends" of yours to whom it bears a passing similarity ME: you want anything VIZIER: [chuckles] what i want is of no import

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

If you, as an 18+ year old that has never engaged with the IP previously, can pick up Philosopher's Stone and become a fan, I will assume you are lying and/or transphobic. I say this a former super fan/nerd: The books aren't very good, or interesting.

Only a literal island of pedophiles could come up with using a hate campaign as a grooming technique.

These goofs overcharge for contaminated bread, put a mutating subscription model on the circuses, then act like they've given us anything worth investing in. "Capitalism cures diseases" they reason, to people increasingly priced out of medicine, because billionaires are irreplaceable GENIUSES.

You can just ignore anyone who thinks we are currently on a path to Artificial General Intelligence let alone artificial consciousness btw. They're fucking idiots who have fully drank the propaganda kool aid. LLMs are not and can never be conscious. They don't think. They can never think.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

Desperately need people to understand that AI "upscaling" or "enhancing" footage is not magically accessing some previously invisible detail, but instead generating an entirely new image BASED ON what you feed into it. The moment it's mediated through AI to any extent, it's fantasy.

It is so fucking *weird* that the *murder* of a young trans person is framed *by her mother* as a result of social media. And I will say this too; even well meaning parents don't necessarily know *shit* about what they are talking about.

okay I'm sorry but I fundamentally do not see how this is anything other than victim-blaming Brianna?? Brianna met her killers, one of whom was a friend, in broad daylight. How is that some kind of online-influenced risk-taking?? They could have been meeting up to go to the cinema

People in England don't get free prescriptions

I wonder why our parliamentarians, who are hugely overrepresented with ex-lawyers, might see "having been a lawyer" as a requirement to serve the Justice portfolio but reject that kind of experience qualification for every other ministerial job.

This whole thread is excellent. But here's the thing - remember the criticisms of Ministers for a Health Minister who doesn't understand the NHS, an Education Minister who doesn't understand teachers? The only one that seems to have an experience requirement is Justice. Tech illiterates run tech.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
