The "Gooner Bait" debate and harsh negative reactions over characters in media that people find attractive can oddly be summed up by watching the hunchback of notre dame

Techbros keep being like AI may be unethical, but at least it burns outrageous amounts of fuel, is expensive, and is not good at its job

I'm glad to be working on .meow and not in the wider world of security right now, with agentic AI running roughshod over everything it feels like trying to stick to even core principles of information security would be akin to putting a band aid on a bullet wound

LLMs lack the self-learning feedback loop to become AGI. The model does not inherently learn from it's interactions. Most LLM "improvements" are driven from integrating non-AI code, using more hardware or more training data. Since 2017, It's mostly just efficiency gains in this kind of AI tech.

Bluesky is made with AI, the engineers and even some non-engineers use Claude code

We're supplying military equipment to Israel. And Labour cares so little about it that Belgium has to step in and stop the shipments. I guess Labour's too busy arresting protestors against the genocide?

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Transphobia is a religion and its clergy are billionaire child rapists. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Pass it on.

Disney cancelled their deal with OpenAI and Sora went offline? Doest mine ear hear an bubble poppe?

perpetual reminder that Neil Druckmann, based the conflict in The Last of Us off his anger about Israeli soldiers being killed, the ‘border’ architecture in the game is based off the West Bank, and Naughty Dog has exploited some of its devs almost to death

It's true that the Tories stuffed NHS institutions with transphobes, but not removing (or sidelining) them was 100% a Labour decision. This latest surge in transphobia (including the Supreme Court decision, which they could have overturned but didn't) is 100% Labour policy and 100% Labour's fault.

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters. We were proud to meet Zack at launch of the Trans Lives Report by @transactualuk.bsky.social

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

🗳️ Gorton and Denton turnout: 47.6% (+0.8) This is HIGHER than in the 2024 general election!!

only the greens can stop reform, a vote for labour is utterly wasted right now, they are collapsing everywhere

Labour positioning themselvies as the only thing stopping Reform. Green also polled 28%, but have massive upward momentum. While Labour polled 28% with massive downward momentum. Green are the best bet to keep Reform out based on the poll.

I saw this in bluesky a few months ago and this is how to win at bluesky.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

girl you went to the poop store either eat your shit sandwich or leave

I didn’t even know misconduct in public office was a crime here 💀 You’re telling me that’s been illegal this whole time??!

"I'm fine with you being gay, but why does it have to be mentioned? Why can't you just keep it to yourself? Why do I have to hear about it?" Oh I dunno. Probably because it's something that's constantly under threat of being forcibly repressed or even destroyed.

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

The NHS closed Tavistock over trans care concerns – there were just eight complaints all from cisgender people. 1. JK Rowling 2. Maya Forstater 3. Helen Joyce 4. Graham Linehan 5. Kathleen Stock 6. Posie Parker 7. Wes Streeting 8. Rosie Duffield www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.
