h/t @robertfreundlaw.bsky.social holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

it's advent you know what that means

The looting of aid in Gaza by "humanitarian rights organisations-backed Hamas" was -of course- actually by Israel, because Israel lies, Western media just prints it, and now a year later the rectification is published after the Palestinians are dead already. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The Doctor is right and correct

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

Ever feel like the world has gone mad?

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

Look. These are Nazi talking points. That's not NICE to say, but it's true, and it makes me sick.

I'm not an economist but seems worrying that the whole US economy is seven companies in a trenchcoat, passing the same $20 up and down

If you want to know about the state of British media, these 'formidable obstacles' include assault of a police officer, ABH, football hooliganism, entering the US on a false passport, mortgage fraud, stalking, endangering a grooming trial, defaming a 15 year old refugee and a lifetime of racism.

Live your life in such a way that if people directly quote you after your death, no one will accuse them of "speaking ill of the dead."

I don’t celebrate Kirk’s death, but I’ll be damned before I say one word of praise about him. Every day of his adult life he worked hard to diminish the rights of people he didn’t like, and I refuse to pretend otherwise.

NO MORE MISTER NIGHT SKY.

Know that Greta Thunberg and the other brave folks abroad a UK-flag humanitarian mission were kidnapped by armed Israeli pirates in international waters, abducted into a genocidal nation, forced to watch re-education, & then "deported" from genocide-land despite having been kidnapped into it.

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

how are we supposed to believe this guy is an expert in friendship when he clearly doesn’t have any friends close enough to tell him that he looks like life coach for sex offenders

“The practical effect of the EHRC's guidance is intended to force those who want to be kind to the trans community to be unkind to the trans community, which is a bizarre thing for a government department to want to do” says Jo Maugham @goodlawproject.org www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...

No way, Israel lied about war crimes? Who could've predicted that, given that it has only happened six or seven times just this week?

This is the way.

This is why you should live every day like it’s your last. Because who wouldn’t want their last act to be telling JD Vance not to be such a knob? www.europesays.com/2009702/

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

The World Press Photo this year was taken despite a genocidal apartheid nation violently murdering journalists that tried to cover its child murdering, red cross executing ways. Israel cannot stop the truth of its unparalleled evil reaching the world.

Israel will murder any Palestinian that speaks up, because killing a Palestinian is just one of millions harmed, starved, maimed, murdered - but letting Palestinians speak will tear down Israels' ability to commit apartheid and genocide. deadline.com/2025/04/gaza...

Wake up babe, new farts just dropped

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

What kind of piece of shit father says this about their own child?

Who said the Germans have no sense of humour?

Literally none of this is going to happen btw

Your town may have a skaven problem

america has lost the trade war, a humiliating defeat

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

The person who should be expelled is the toadying lickspittle who did the most cursory of due diligence before proposing that the scientifically illiterate eugenics-adjacent Musk should be elected in the first place.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people. There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

May we all find this level of courage in these unsettling times.

Police have advised they have nothing to go on

Shame, because it was a brilliant cross.

"when his church refused to integrate, he left to help found a new one that welcomed everyone" www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o... many lovely factoids I didn't know about Carter, in this eulogy from @nickkristof.bsky.social

For Christmas Day, Israel went and bombed the last operating hospital in North Gaza. It persevered, so today Israel assaulted the building, all medical staff has been forced into concentration camps, and the hospital was set on fire. Israel's genocide can't have any survivors in Gaza.

If I have to find out what an Alpaca looks like without wool, then so do you. *runs away screaming
