Like I stole from gender theory: there are two genders, women and faggot. “Man” is just being a normal human.
May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄@goddessblade.bsky.social · 15h agoLRP: The vertical view of gender—with men at the top as the "full, complete" human gender—is a much older way of understanding gender than "the gender binary" and remains a big influence on how we see the sexes today. Women have long been viewed as defective, inferior versions of men.
Treating cancer. Difference between 40 years ago and now is STAGGERING. Fuck, the treatment I got was approved the year before I got sick. Treatments are more effective and side effects are much easier to manage.

I wrote about the definition of genocide, and how—contrary to public discourse—genocides are not unusual, but are an accepted part of state action and policy. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/genocides-...
Genocides Are Not Uncommon
It is politically convenient to treat them as rare.

For context: the world’s largest parking garage holds 20,000 cars. The largest garage in the U.S. is at SeaTac airport, and holds 12,000 cars.
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle.bsky.social · 2d agoOne part of Trump's $22 billion makeover of Dulles that's been missed is his big, beautiful, world-record 32,000-spot parking garage. That's *way* more parking than recent estimates show the airport needs, and it would tower over the historic terminal: www.notus.org/metro/dulles...
The best part is, I recall hearing a senior Tory grandee - I forget which - telling Times Radio that Cameron and Osborne picked austerity as their great project not because it was smart or necessary, but because they needed a great project and that felt like a Tory thing to do.
Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
I see the “protect women” crowd are busy eulogising a man who at age 45 assaulted his 23 year old girlfriend when she was 20 weeks pregnant
“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 2d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage.

Rod Liddle was very much like Marmite, in that you wouldn’t want him on your television screen, radio, or newspaper.
The shaman of Bad Dürrenberg are the remains of a 25-35 year old woman, who was buried 8600 to 9000 year ago in Germany. Around her, were the remains of an extraordinary head-dress, made from the bones and teeth of different animals such as deer, wild boar, crane and turtle.
You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop Seems relevant
LLMs and other chatbots are dangerously addictive in a novel way. Most people have no immunity to sycophantic "let-me-do-that" behavior. This is why celebrities/Royals/the wealthy so often grow out of touch with reality. And now it's happening to the average person on an industrial scale. Scary.
Bruno Dias@brunodias.dev · 5d agoThe problem with using an LLM for some narrow use case where you think it’s actually appropriate is that you’re using it in the context of a UX system designed to make you expand your usage and change your views of what is “appropriate”
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
Ecuadorian prosecutor Alexandra Bravo was fatally shot on June 14 by a hitman. Bravo had been investigating U.S. strikes on three Ecuadorian boats in which 36 passengers survived, many of them recounting alleged torture by American gunmen in U.S. military uniforms aboard a U.S.-flagged patrol ship.

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Most people approach ethics & epistemology as tactics of positioning & browbeating spurred by an affective experience. If something sucked, then that means it was unfair & predicated on untruth, all that's left is conjuring a rationalization. Whereupon disagreeing means asserting it didn't suck.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d agoit’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
we had an entire ICU team that was dedicated to flipping patients onto their bellies to give them a last shot at oxygenating before their inevitable deaths, but ok

the TLDR is, yes blaming e.g. carbon emissions only on the producers of fossil fuels is dumb but the "midtwit" take that has emerged the past five years that the silliness of that take means ownership and distribution mechanisms are irrelevant to the social impact of consumption is also very wrong
