you cannot start a breaking news alert with “A helicopter carrying President Trump” without dumping a gallon of serotonin into my bloodstream. please be more careful with words
if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.
Alex Hanna@alexhanna.bsky.social · 7h agoIt keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.
Apart from this. Handy "This is impossible. You will be sued either way." Letter. Still not the basic fucking point (go back to how it was) but at least it directs annoyance
![To whom it may concern,
I visited your [ONE OF] shop/café/restaurant/business yesterday.
During that visit, I needed to use the lavatory. I note that you have undertaken to provide separate "Men's" and "Women's" facilities.
[ONE OF]
[A]
I asked for directions from member of staff. At no time did they try to confirm which facility was appropiate for me based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".
[B]
I asked for directions from member of staff. They asked me a series of deeply inappropriate, private questions as to my eligibility for a particular facility, presumably based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".
[REVERSE ORDER AS NEEDED. A ->.C,D. B -> D, C and add "However"]
[C]
By not enforcing the "biologIcal sex"-based segregation which you have undertaken to provide in your infrastructure, you may be subject to litigation.
[D]
Challenging service users or demanding evidence of their "biological sex" may be subject to privacy-invasion-related litigation under Article 8 of the European Conventionm of Human Rights. It is also a deeply dehumanising approach to treating your customers.
I sympathise with your predicament. The guidelines are unclear and contradictory. Only switching to unisex facilities would completely avoid this problem which didn't previously exist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gwv4re7u3kij4hc3tftufhpj/bafkreicewrnszjcnczqarzsfq4bkhoitqj4znvi3xnaazomcyog4xd3uoq)

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime and it has nothing to do with AI, crypto, metaverse, robots or any of the other massively hyped "tech" the media always talks about instead
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
The road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.
A bit of a more unique post: The site's ChatGPT source prevention screen!
i started this train of thought as a joke but now i do think there's something to the idea that the way to sell the green revolution to the US public is that we're being denied Good Deals on cheap chinese cars and solar panels and there's nothing more unamerican than saying we can't have a good deal
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.
I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

What I want for trans + people in the UK. The puberty blocker ban lifted. The toilet ban scrapped. Supreme Court ruling overtuned/made ineffective. An informed consent model for gender affirming care. Self ID. Non-Binary people legaly recognised. No trans + censorship in schools.
