Amnesty also making their own job harder as they demonstrate that every tinpot dictator and murderous oligarch simply has to issue a legal writ of "It was actually very HURTFUL when you described me as genocidal despot" and they fold like an origami coward

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!

Saw someone say that I was a hypocrite for using an LLM. To test the claim that it would reduce suicidality. It told me to KMS within 10 minutes. “Think of how much water you wasted” Okay, I did, and I’ve decided I’d gladly throw a bathtub of water out into space to help expose this shit.

You wouldn't know it from how some people talk, but it is incredibly easy to not use AI for anything.

It's too hot, I have restless legs, my back hurts and one of my nostrils is blocked... Trying not to complain about it TOO MUCH

I don't normally like "this is just a distract from..." takes but NIGEL FARAGE IS JUST TRYING TO GET THE ESTABLISHMENT TO STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS GAJILLIONS OF DODGY DONATIONS AND IT'S WORKING YOU ABSOLUTE CUNTS

So a trans woman got slammed for taking photos of herself in the mirror of a public toilet (which I, a cis woman, did A LOT in my teen years) but now the wizard lady wants you to take photos of people who you THINK are trans in public toilets without their consent?

Concrete proposals made for UK public enforcement of washroom trans ban. Lgbtq visitors to UK please be aware and all trans people travel in pairs, avoid any known conflict sites and do not take direct action but withdraw and call police if harassed in washrooms. From twitter/X

These glasses should only be accepted if reasonable. For eg, I follow some visually impaired creators who utilise them. cyclists find the tech useful. But sitting in a cafe wearing them should be like sitting in a cafe with a steadicam strapped to your chest. Like why are you wearing that sir?

I don't think Depp is right for the project. I'm seeing: Before he was Scrooge he was...a right old geezer Vinnie Jones is Ebegeezer Scrooge in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Orphans

Agriculture, writing, medicine, metallurgy, domesticating dogs/horses/cows, corn, money, pottery, art, the wheel, etc....all valid contenders, and certainly way ahead of "Access a Big Enough Database with a Fast Enough Processor and it can Pretend to be Your Girlfriend".

Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.

Dang they really got a category for everything

you know how haloarchaea (microorganism thought to be bacteria but are actually molecularly distinct & aren’t bacteria or complex life but a secret third thing) turn the algae & water red, and that turns the shrimp red, then that turns the flamingos pink, well those tiny guys got Jordan Pickford too

I know no one *cares*, but it annoys me.

We didn't realise it but "you'll never be bored again" was a THREAT.

There was coverage of the British Wimbledon semifinalist on BBC2 earlier, but now he’s on BBC1. Cross-channel Fery.

There’s an advert for Booking.com that starts with “you haven’t seen the sun for days” and I nearly threw a chair at the TV
