I keep hearing otherwise smart people say that people should train as plumbers and gardeners and other trades to protect their employment from AI. Wh-who are their clients going to be?? Probably need that goose meme now.
Was so nice to see @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social and @therickwilson.bsky.social in the flesh last night. You guys have been a huge comfort these last years.
would be nice if my concerns about racists, fascists, and a white supremacist, who’s called for the government to be overthrown, using his far-right skewed social media platform to spread hatred were seen as legitimate as racists’ concerns
@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, Russia is on a war footing. If we (Europe) don’t increase defence spending and weapons production then deployment of peacekeepers is just a paper tiger. We need to sell the threat to the population.
One of Russia's strategies is to intimidate the West, convincing them that supporting Ukraine is a risky endeavor. They aim to suggest that allowing Russia to act with impunity is acceptable because "or else.." One tactic they use is exploiting media sensationalism.
