But who needs regulation?

all those people who called me "irresponsible" for advocating air strikes against specific data centers better be eating crow.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

It has always been my view that the Appleby Report was nothing more than a transparent attempt at a cover-up. Anyone trying to cover up the suicides of children disgusts me beyond words.

Caroline Litman@alicemydaughter.bsky.social · yesterday

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

The BBC censoring any mention of support for trans people is a sickening new low.

Jacey is a suitable combo of my actual name for privacy reasons@spacegrace.bsky.social · 22h ago

Never watched a full episode of Strictly, but the BBC showing themselves to be pathetic yet again by blurring out a participants “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt. Their excuse will be that it’s a political statement so had to be neutral but we know it’s because they can’t show an ounce of humanity to us

This is an emergency need we should fulfill!!!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Gender Neutral spaces only work when trans + people are not legally expected to use them.

the fundamental thing wrong with this ai-driven "hyper personalization" pipe dream is that your preferences are constantly changing, primarily in response to experiencing things that are different from your current preferences and expectations, through this little-known process called Living.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.

All ethno-states are racist, they have to be, or they cease to be an ethno-state. The moment you prioritise one ethnicity, you discriminate against the others. Equality is a binary choice.

You might ask “where is the British Mamdani” and the brutal truth is that the US press - as bad as it is - gives left wing politicians time and space to talk about their ideas. A British Mamdani gets swiftly kicked to death on camera in an avalanche of all-channels screaming hate.

The goal of all this "is an LLM a real boy?" bullshit is to get cultural approval to get around the IBM statement. If you can create a computer that you hold accountable, you can use it to take the blame for every reprehensible decision you want to make.

Stories is such a good way of putting this. Can a novel be full of pain and suffering? Clearly yes. Does a fictional character suffer in the real world? They're fictional don't be a dumbass.

You can buy a huge media conglomerate with money you don't have using leveraged debt you'll never pay off and then immediately start firing its workers, but people will still say that capitalism is compatible with democracy and is capable of "reform" or "regulation"

i didnt mean to sound dismissive of angine de poitrine, who are very good, i just think it's funny that they were probably toiling in obscurity playing 27/5 time signatures in montreal for many years before they thought to put on costumes

The daily sea surface temperature is now so high, they had to add more chart because the previous version only went up to 30C

They listened to me. There is now more chart.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Our built infrastructure robs kids of their freedom of independent mobility. Streets are dominated by oversized vehicles, piloted by aggressive and distracted drivers where one mistake can turn lethal. We sacrificed child development to subsidize the auto industry.
