Is opposing Genocide ever going to come up?

#Music followers: if you were going to make a "All-Time" The Factory playlist, who'd be on it band/performer wise? Besides Joy Division et al. www.factorymanchester.com #Alternative #Manchester #UK #Venue

#AI is a virulent virus. And Corporations are superspreaders.

Further evidence that widespread covid vaccination is better for everybody.

Yes @valvesoftware.com why?

Helvetica is a Swiss made Modernist font. A deliberate rejection of tradition. An example of a novel form of cultural expression & socially #progressive design. The abstruse *stratagem* of ditching Helvetica for a font designed by a #socialist for journalistic use is just weird.🤔 #Art #FontDebate

A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for. The strongly worded letters have to stop someday.

@mfromoser.bsky.social "Since October 7, 2023, member countries like Algeria and communities worldwide have continued to call for a ceasefire in #Gaza and the return of all hostages. Despite pleas and protests, at least one permanent member of the UN Security Council has vetoed every draft..

In "The Principles of Newspeak", Orwell explains that Newspeak follows most rules of English grammar, yet is a language characterized by a continually diminishing vocabulary; complete thoughts are reduced to simple terms of simplistic meaning." Swap out "rules of grammar" for anything. #Gemini #AI

Gemini AI AKA #Newspeak, which is a controlled large language model of simplified data, grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking. Who knew literature would be the canary in the coal mine? #Books

Jimmy Fallon is a Brand. He is a fan of everything, dissents nothing. His moral agency is to act in his own self-interest. Attracting people to brand. If you want something promoted he is five stars awesome. A multi channel marketed brand..A jocular ethical egoist. Expecting more from him is folly.

Consider this.. #LGBT

#DearWhitePeople Show me how many times last year James Talarico trended on Bluesky or X concerning his work w/ #Democrats, party leadership / fighting GOP ardently during the same time period compared to the work of Jasmine Crockett? I'll wait. She can't win!? Or is tit something else? #privilege

Black voters have supported ALL Democratic candidates at over 80% for over a decade, something no other demographic can claim. It won't be our fault that a candidate loses. Look elsewhere. “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is faced.” - James Baldwin

"How do you borrow a cup of sugar" is crazy cuz the Spanish word for sugar just sounds kinda like sugar, it's actually a great example of a problem someone who mainly speaks Spanish and someone who mainly speaks English could solve together

Pro tip: If you’re constantly advocating for legal precedent to return to any year that starts with “17” or “18,” (and often a “19”) you’re almost certainly on the wrong side.

Netflix becoming Steamberry. 🤔 Life does imitate art. #BlackMirror #SciFi

Oh brother did the Dave Rubin art in SPACE SCOUTS #1 knock my socks off!

The process whereby "anti-woke" evolved into a general purpose shield to protect white men from accountability was as predictable as it was rapid.

Stating how someone was wrong by citing their chronic behavior after they admit they were wrong is hardly unique. Being unimpressed by their change is contextual. Esp. if they arrived at flawed, harmful, illogical positions that were obvious to their peers despite evidence to the contrary. #vetting

The racism is just cartoonish. I can’t stand it. Honestly

Reading up on some subjects tonight. Should prove helpful tomorrow.

Penn Jillette. Is a clear example why Intelligence doesn't give a character a Wisdom bonus.. They are separate stats. and sadly why you can get away with a Wisdom of 6 and still be an illusionist.. 🤔📕📝 #Dungeons&Dragons #Gaming

Not interested in people who have selective focus, ardent intellectuals that clearly have the capacity to analyze a complex problem & literally make it their job to "Not be fooled" and to see things for * what it is* masters of manipulation..only *discover* the OBVIOUS after 7 decades on the planet.

We are experiencing service disruptions and are working to resolve the issue. Sorry for delays!

IMHO the answer is simple: In this instance LLM's don't provide *information* because that is not what political advertisements do. It's directive is to direct the user to the goal it is designed to favor. Political ads appeal to bias. It's directive: It's not about Vanilla. youtu.be/eW87GRmunMY?...

I'd much rather discuss the Carmine Infantino run on Spider-Woman.. #Comics.

If Dems can't handle 1 woman saying factually : Not supporting women in midlife is a problem & expressing her opinion is *hate*.. If so, Dems have a problem. If their position is so fragile it can't stand up to facts & scrutiny @ policy is a sign of weakness: It's what Republicans do. #HalleBerry

Pantone makes a cold, empty and austere statement. An attempt at what could be explained away as peaceful neutrality while a not so clever virtue signal nod. Wave that flag. #Design #Art #GraphicDesign

Still.

"In fact, it's the seeds of the unraveling of a democracy. If everyone is voting in for what they think is true, what they want to be true, what their religion, their politics, or their culture tells 'em to be true, rather than what is objectively true, established by the methods & tools of #science

Moral errors leads to intellectual indifference. *They* will always find a intellectual loophole to justify choosing hate and harm. Why? Because they see value and self interest in making that choice.

And the resilience of a soap bubble...

In 2022 Mamdani was clear sighted on Hakeem Jeffries. "Now, the mayor-elect said he supported Jeffries to remain House speaker in the next Congress. That statement is a striking reversal of Mamdani’s previous position." www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

seriously who is primarying hakeem jeffries in 2026 I will come to new york and canvas for you

unless you are willing to openly own that you are a baddie, you have to absolutely wreck your critical and (more importantly) probabilistic reasoning skills in order to be a bigot

When will RWers realize that their flawed *Diamond* is cracked? Garnet is right: While It's good to believe in everyone and to have a little more patience than the rest of us..but the truth is not everyone deserves that patience. Peridots are rare not commonplace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMMz...

@npr.org Fresh Nonsense for all of you to consider.. Awful.

Yes. The first truth ever said by her at that podium is ironically about herself.
