Utterly ridiculous and the cowardice of companies like Apple has to be called out. You might think it's a coincidence that Apple pulled a show about infiltrating online extremist groups right as this white nationalist government is going after TV shows, but I do not. 9to5mac.com/2025/09/23/a...

Hard agree with this, though frankly I think the author gives publishers a little to much credit re: the cynicism of publishing reskinned fanfiction. I think it is almost entirely cynical. Why take a chance on original thing when fandom thing already has a built in audience?

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

Jeg er tilhenger av og ønsker at Norge skal ha en statsfinansiert ikke-komersiell formidlingskanal for kultur, underholdning og nyheter. Hvorfor må #NRK gjøre det så jævla vanskelig å forvare dette standpunktet.

Dette er velkjent. I Norge verdsettes ikke kunnskap. Det er viktigere å ha litt møkk under neglene. www.khrono.no/ny-rapport-u...

Reminder to my fellow bisexuals: do not do crimes today. You are briefly visible. Wait til tomorrow when you can no longer be perceived.

One of the most common use cases of generative AI is to create pornographic images of imaginary people and unwilling real people, and in both instances that includes children.

IMAGINE THAT. HUH. Paying people to do the things they want benefits everyone!! This makes me so so happy.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

This pilot experiment PAID FOR ITSELF. Ireland spent $105 million on artists providing them basic income, and saw that drop to $72 million after accounting for economic impacts, then with $80 million in psychological wellbeing impacts, that dropped to -$8 million.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

They look at political problems and presume AI can just somehow type out The Answer and that it'll be so smart and revelatory that everyone will have no choice but to recognize its brilliance, when the reality is the answers to the problems exist but the issues are power and politics and sacrifice

It's important to recognize that there's a disturbing amount of people who do not even see AI as just a way to replace labor (because if they did they'd be losing steam rn), but as a god that must be built to solve the world's problems and they really believe that.

Our mentally impaired President is rambling and yelling at the UN right now and the UN is just listening in silence to the gibberish. Again, I try to find a place and use for my fury at the MAGA people in my life. What can I do with this energy--what truly useful things? Because I could power a city

It's just so deeply painful every day to think about how many people had to not understand the assignment for this guy to get back into the presidency. A mix of elite failure, amnesia, evil, racism, misogyny, and misinformation at so many levels.

Om NRK og andre medier kunne slutte å være så kåte på høyreekstreme verdier og USA hadde det vært kult. Takk på forhånd

:::looks at the post-rapture community of atheists, queer folks, abortion activists, non-evangelicals, etc. etc.::: oh look, all my friends are here.

It's hard to believe this is all in one speech.

Spent på NRKs normalisering av dette. En konservativ inspirator? Kristen er fyren garantert.

The number one cause of death in children is gun violence. If they’re so desperate for something to get in an uproar about while claiming they care about kids, maybe start there.

Perhaps Trump and Musk bonded over their totally normal childhoods.

Tenk at so mange tek «paracetamol er årsaken til autisme» på alvor når det kjem frå den same mannen som råda dei til å INJISERE SEG MED KLOR FOR Å DREPE CORONA for typ fem år sidan.

Glemte å si det, men det virker åpenbart: norske medier ser ikke ut til å ha forstått dette fenomenet og tar "åpen dialog"-kortet for god fisk. Til tross for at dette trikset har vært gjennomskuet på internett i så mange år nå at det er masse memes om det.

Goldman Sachs has a rosy GDP outlook on AI even tho this piece is saying all gains have come from spending on construction of data centers and not AI itself. Why are the dumbest people always in charge of our money?

I am so confused. Goldman Sachs is saying line will go up for non-AI sectors cuz they’re using AI and will boost productivity but all non-AI sectors are down even tho they’ve quickly implemented AI and eliminated jobs. The rosy projections all feel like AI fanfic??

“Errol Musk has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren since 1993, a Times investigation found. Family members have appealed to Elon Musk for help.”

Foreslår at vi gir 10 milliarder til Ukraina hver gang russiske kampfly og droner krenker norsk luftrom.

Det virker som det har sivet inn en oppfatning i deler av NRK at deres samfunnsoppdrag nå er å roe ned, nyansere og sørge folk at folk ikke blir for opprørte. Det er i så fall en grov misforståelse. Jeg bygger dette på at ellers oppegående folk der sier helt rare ting som de må vite bagatelliserer.

It is normal to feel insane when the entire political and journalist class across the Anglophone world is getting horned up over the idea of segregating, criminalizing, and exterminating you and all of your friends.

Vi får kritikk både av folk som er intolerante for andre meninger, og av de som er intolerante for usannhet, dette beviser at vi har perfekt balanse, jeg er en veldig smart journalist

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

I wish I could get cis people who see how rightfully terrified people are of what is being said about autistic people, and what will come next, is the fear trans people have been living with for a decade. You understand this, why not that?

Tell you what. When the autists withhold their labour, you’re gonna see a damn shutdown in innovation. Laser focus on niche interests is the shit that got people to the fkn moon.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS: I WAS RAPTURED. TO EASE THE TRANSITION, I HAVE PREPARED MANY TIMELESS SKEETS THAT WILL POST AS NORMAL THROUGHOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE REST OF MY NATURAL LIFETIME.

Milicent Patrick illustrating Creature from the Black Lagoon, released in 1954. The credit for the Creature’s iconic design was stolen from her by a jealous male colleague.

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

See, when a pedophile makes a product, he makes it for himself most of all.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

"Kommentator beundrer egen balanse"

Ja, ser vi nå hvorfor det kunne vært smart at ikke TikTok også var amerikansk-eid blant de største vestlige mediene? Og: Venter fortsatt på gravesaken som viser hvordan TikTok var verre enn Meta og X.

Sånn.

Eg valgte vinklinga Pedagogisk Dame (ca. 63?) som ikkje er oppteken av referanser, men som -forklarer- i lekmannsspråk kvifor det er dumt å ikkje seie heile sanninga, eller i det minste velge ut det viktigaste som er sant. Den demografien må også brøle litt.

Any work of literature that is worth its salt will, in some way, comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Bollocks is it about white guilt. White people are not centred in that novel. And that's one of the many reasons it's a great choice for teens.
