It is *fucking insane* and a damning indictment of humans as a whole that even the people who design these systems to mirror what’s given to them cannot see it when it happens to them.

Ben Ansell@benansell.bsky.social · yesterday‘Culturally British by my standards’ is one of the most chilling phrases uttered in British politics. Entirely unsurprising to me who it’s from.
russians kill children, women and men, the young and those whose hair has turned silver. russians destroy homes where someone had breakfast yesterday. They burn warehouses full of books. putin is evil. But this evil has hands that kill, destroy and burn.
Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy
the supreme court: "stop saying we declared trump a god-king, presidential immunity was a limited and reasonable ruling" trump, constantly: "I am absolutely a god-king and I can do anything I want at any time"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoTrump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."
Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Mrs Quent@quarkquent.bsky.social · 4d agoExcuse me, I have just been made aware (by Reddit) that some people butter both slices of bread in a sandwich. I need to know that this is a minority of perverts, and not the done thing.

The "Is AI alive" conversation is 100% this, too. If you can be conned by a chatbot, I fear for your general safety. You are the guy at the stripclub who think the dancers really like you.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · last yr.We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

Just remembered that I went to the dentist to see the hygienist at the end of September and the receptionist said “Merry Christmas” when I was leaving and I told her I was calling the police.
The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards Jeremy Clarkson spending decades denying global warming only to sink his fortune into a farm just as global warming really starts to kick in
I’d love to see what would happen if a reporter actually got in with the “fake news” jab first.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoREPORTER: Why are you telling your supporters to vote by mail if you think it's fraud? TRUMP: I'd rather have them vote in person, but they can vote by mail if they want. But there is a lot of cheating in vote by mail. REPORTER: There's no evidence TRUMP: You are fake news

Jess Nevins@jessnevins.bsky.social · 5d agoI'm sure the Mesopotamians really meant it when they worshiped Enki, and believed in him as god of freshwater, etc, but somehow in my hands he's acquired the kenning of "that rat-bastard" and every time he opens its mouth dialogue comes out that wouldn't be out of place in VICIOUS.
Read fucking history books, for the love of god. And if someone ever tries to get you not to vote, ignore and block.

It’s brilliant the PM has recognised the issues Lib Dems have campaigned on for so long are central to fixing our country & growing our economy. As a result of his speech, social care, closer ties with EU and PR are now firmly in the political mainstream, which is exactly where we want them to be.
The hilarious thing about Whole Foods banning MSG is that Whole Foods is, nonetheless, packed full of MSG.
