legislation cannot fix this. at present, a profesisonal civil service is unconstitutional.
The idea that deep institutional damage can be easily rolled back seems like a very odd take for a conservative. The damage to the civil service system is huge, and legislation is needed to reassure future hires they won’t be fired on a whim.
by 2029 there is a more realistic path to this than there is to any social spending btw
imagine a future where *we* appropriate the vicious symbolism of ICE in a merciless crack-down billionaires and the MAGA class: fancy production value videos of bashing down their fancy doors, slapping bags over their spray-tanned heads, black helicopters, shattered ugly gold homewares, etc etc
the best thing about the AI Hater label is that it makes me feel way more confident in blocking people for a single bad take
Synthesized hormones have only existed for 100 years and are only able to be produced at scale do to industrialized chemistry. Any movement against modernity and pharmaceuticals is going to be inherently hostile to trans people's healthcare no matter how queer and counterculture you paint them as.
I’m saying that one of the reasons LGBT people are still better off in the US than almost anywhere in the world is that most of the things we’re oppressed for are clearly speech acts and the expansive protections afforded to same in the US are something we will miss if they’re gone
i think this also bites people by making them act as if problems will just go away after a defined period of time
mostly I assume that the twin complaints of "it's cheating" and "you can't take credit for that" are just relatively young people who are still wearing off their schooling hangover even before AI, there's this transition when you realize all work is an open-book test; there is no 'cheating'
the speculum of consequences rarely arrives lubed
We tried to warn you, you indulged in your little transphobic fantasy. You thought you could just have a little transphobia in some areas and not others and that's not possible. You made this world too. Now unmake it, it's your job.
never gets old using a frontier AI model to autonomously complete a complex series of tasks only to then login to bluesky & see the masses declaring that what i just experienced 1st hand is actually fake and not possible it’s like they’re saying the earth is flat or the moon landing never happened
> be MS > add TPM 2.0 as a hard requirement to win11 upgrade, locking out way more old hardware than on normal upgrades > AI let's you literally ask a Linux computer to fix itself, removing all remaining barriers to entry > there's just no way to know why people are switching
maybe copilot knows why www.techspot.com/news/113326-...
queer people have rights and aren't dying en masse of aids you complete privileged piece of shit (OP, not Constantine)
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
star citizen should pay zitron for sponsor segments the ROI would be great
just heard someone seriously talking about 'model collapse from synthetic content' in 2026 smh
Because I put cocks in my mouth. And before you say it, not judging. My best friend is straight. Totally an ally here. But it's my thing.
Because I don't put cocks in my mouth. And before you say it, not judging. My best friend is gay. Totally an ally here. But it's not my thing.
I don't think enough has been said about how having to take *anyone who sounds like this, regardless of substance* seriously as our health secretary is a humiliation ritual
RFK Jr yelling at Dana Bash sounds like a rabid dog barking
the most annoying thing about the What We Should Have Done With COVID discourse is that the actual viable option to accept more health risk in exchange for less disruption was not to rawdog the plague, it was to push the vaccine wide earlier with worse trial data

every so often someone will drop a silver bullet Solution to AI scraping by "poisoning it" in a way that does nothing and makes everything suck more. and the most annoyingly reactionary people you know will insist on using it for like 6 months
I think we should combine philosophy BlueSky's position that "flirting can be unintentional" with the emerging Gen Z norm that "flirting outside of dating apps is immoral" to create the most neurotic generation ever before seen.
UK defamation laws are an abomination. US free speech extremism is the only thing that has kept Trump from shutting down a ton of criticism and investigative reporting aimed at him. But in the UK the law makes it trivial for JKR to tyrannize anyone who says mean things about her.
Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
