Ah yes, the two genders

It appears we may have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law. But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Don't tell me what you "meant" by your post. I, the post consumer, will decide what you meant. And frankly what you meant was disgusting

“In a race to the bottom where the value is solely blasting through to the next set of deliverables, your skill and craft and taste are maladaptive.”

All true. Also, the macguffin at the center of this — “productivity” — has no standard metric. It’s like saying “we restructured to increase our ‘phlogiston’ metrics”

Finally, a company named after the noise I make when I stub my toe

If it wasn’t for the heroic efforts of thousands of trees like this, our nation’s rivers would be at a standstill

Yeah I like to do circuit training

Fine Gael eyeing this up as way to reduce A&E wait times

You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to Anthropic" The bar is SO low for ethics that we’re cheering on Anthropic for rejecting only the most egregious uses of their product. Beyond that, they’re super happy to work as a close partner with the military-industrial-surveillance complex.

I say block people for any reason you like. Their hat is the wrong shade of green? Blocked. Too many vowels in their latest skeet? Blocked. Three people will block me as a result of this post and you know, I’m delighted for them
