"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

The media is entirely responsible for Donald Trump in our lives and Elon Musk as well. Real engineers and scientists knew he was a moron long ago. I was told repeatedly by my brother and his nerds at JPL that Elon was a dolt. But tech press don't know shit either and access is the name of the game.

the faux-AI evangelists see the artistic process as a race to get to a finished product, instead of something valuable in itself. the process is where you develop those skills you don't have yet, it cannot be skipped, it is where the art happens

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

This is one of the biggest problems with so-called "AI". EVERY branch of computer science and thought ever accomplished is now included as part of "AI". It's a gigantic hoax. Guess what? Computers, research and algos all existed before the current hoax.

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

loathe and resent how funny this is

Shabana Mahmood's proposal to stop being told to "go back home" is to send people "home". Her proposal to stop black and brown people from feeling like they don't belong, is to bake in to the immigration system that they will never belong.

Agree, but the fact that they proposed it in the first place makes them morally unfit to be in charge, and the fact that they will end up overturning it also makes them too incompetent to be in charge

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

SOMEONE: Fuck you! BOVINO: That’s not very nice. THE MOST MOM VOICE YOU’VE EVER HEARD: Well, are you doing nice things?

I’m hearing from a charity that’s reluctant to support an anti-racism event because it’s too “political”. I’m explaining to them that opposing racism wasn’t at all “political” until very recently. Also (1) everything is political but (2) it doesn’t need to be party political. Charity IS Politics.

Good God

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

lol she got his ass and he knows it

in unrelated news Paul Pelosi is retiring from investing

curtis sliwa supporters currently booing andrew cuomo. he really did bring the city together

To be fair, they’re losing MPs at a much faster rate.

a nonzero amount of wanting to ban it is because the chatGPT using people are annoying

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

the muppets are enduring cast of characters because each of them represents the duality of man kermit is nervous but charming fozzie is confident but untalented gonzo is deranged but dignified miss piggie is rude but elegant sam eagle is socially liberal but fiscally conservative

I fucking knew it.

We commissioned @yougov.co.uk to poll trans people on how they feel about parties, institutions and the UK. A striking 91% of trans people distrust the Labour Party. goodlaw.social/wcsv

That the murder of Brianna Ghey has been so completely co-opted by the "ban kids from using phones" brigade sickens me to my fucking core. Whatever her killers were looking at it's undeniable that the landslide of transphobic propaganda in the media played a crucial role in their choice of victim.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

persecuting minority groups who they imagine are poisoning society is an inherent part of the ideology, they need it, even if they were handed an ethnically 'cleansed' fascist state it would collapse in a witch-hunt for secret jews and suspected homosexuals and insufficiently committed fascists

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

WATCH: ‘Portland Frog’ pepper balled by ICE agents

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

Cant even have men Archbishops any more Because of Woking

One of the things I always find telling is the idea that we have to judge past people by the standards of their time, as if the fact that they did bad things means that everyone thought it was okay. They didn't. Pretty much every obviously evil act had people saying that it was, in fact, bad.

Jane Goodall was actually the only one keeping the apes in control. Now there's a power vacuum

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

This is the kind of shit Scarecrow's hallucination gas would make you see to hijack your amygdala.
