Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."

four years ago I posted this image of paleontologist Jan Smit looking at rocks and his son-in-law replied with something even better

I understand this view but I think we should consider the implications of preemptively giving up charging a criminal with crimes because the jury may not convict

Doctors when a pain patient has a well documented form of chronic pain with a well documented treatment pathway: time for acceptance therapy and nothing else!

Being in terrible pain, exhausted, foggy from medication and then having to tease out some doctors Kafka-esque logic for why they won’t even try to help you, but knowing if you get upset they’ll just put “anxiety” on your notes.

Sometimes being a chronic pain patient is working out exactly how knowledgeable to appear, which words to use, how to perform reasonableness, all while asking for the documented treatment pathway. Then perfectly controlling your face while they say “doctors know when diagnostics aren’t needed!”.

Hello. Would you like to play a game?

There's a lot of ways to dunk on this shit but I really think the loudest method we need to hammer over and over again is that famously one of the cruelest things you can do to sapient life is enslave it. Yes obviously the techbros like that part. But make them admit it every second of every day.

I don’t support AI companies banning people from hurting the feelings of AI but I do support BioWare banning players for cheating on Liara in Mass Effect because she’s your blue wife in STEM and you need to honor that relationship

few things funnier than "gimli, son of gloin" in my book

I've been following Doodle Date as long as my spouse and I have been together and it's been heartbreaking seeing Steph struggle this much. I'd love to see this come through for them.

As a lot of you guys know, i stream almost daily on twitch these days to take the pressure off Steph as we better accommodate for her needs. We're currently doing a fundraiser to try and put a deposit down on a bungalow which will VASTLY improve her quality of life.

Far less fanfare and media panic now that the proofs are proving to be, err... unproven. aiweekly.co/alerts/opena...

Far too many people simply hate children for existing

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

NEW from me: Over the last 4 years, America has lost more than 200k jobs in creative fields like publishing, film, TV, or graphic design. It's the worst stretch for arts jobs outside of recessions. How much is AI to blame? And can the arts' business model survive?🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/ai-and-the...

Anyway, like I said. Federal fascism is already here.

This is clearly not acceptable

sometimes the world presents you with a driver that cat calls you from his car with blue lives matter stickers and a very close, very open window, and you just have to spit in it

friends, romans, countrymen… happy out of touch thursday

I don’t even have a child in primary or secondary school and I’m ready to challenge every single school board to a brawl in a Waffle House parking lot for letting this anywhere near their districts

I miss when the worst horrors of genAI were it hallucinating a concerning number of eyes into the background of every image. That was so much better than this era of your kid’s school district is letting an AI company train their identity theft bot on videos of your child with no real consent

happy day for two best friends
