I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

So disastrously irresponsible of this Labour leadership candidate. Any politician willing to promote burning more fossil fuels whilst Scotland is on fire, the UK is in drought and the just transition is starved of funding, is selling all our futures.

Nothing could be more damaging to our climate and the future of the North East than offering up even more of our North Sea to oil and gas giants. To create well-paid, long-term jobs in the North East and tackle the climate emergency, we must invest in renewables.

A very, very dark day for UK rights, and feminism in the UK. Now ALL women will be scrutinised and policed by their appearance. This does not solve any problem that existed, and makes life much worse for a targeted minority. For shame, IHRC

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

• panters cannot pant hım; looks like someone else (38b)
• insensitive to music (38b)
• despises death and the dead (38b)
. is affected only by relics that are older than he is (38b)
• can create evil thoughts in others, banish good ones, and destroy will (38b)
• cannot be photographed; photographs come out black or like a skeleton corpse (4, 38b)
• can tell if bodies are dead or alive (4)
• sees man semingly dead and says "no" (4)
• has to be brought or carried over threshold. Dracula visits an asylum where he stumbles on the threshold (4, 16)
• named "Count Wampyr" (1)
• can determine and prove if people are sane (24)

The techbros who STOLE data to build their slop machines of world domination remain unaware of what life is like for everyone else & the damage done to our planet! Big Tech is NOT our friend - they don't understand us, they don't want to - they just want to exploit us for profit more efficiently!

Imagine thinking the first victim of AI has yet to pass... It's people of colour, women, people in the global south, the planet... How embarrassing!

The EU will require AI labels on any authentic-looking online content. Text, images, video and audio designed to look truthful must be visibly marked as AI-generated and contain a digital watermark to show the artificial origins of the content. Please can the UK have the same?

AI labels to be compulsory on authentic-looking content under EU rules

Companies must ensure people know when they are interacting with artificially generated images, audio and text designed to look real

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU

Very occasionally, I think about leaving the West. Then I think about how the West has pretty well fucked almost everywhere else so there's few places to go. The West continues to fuck me and anyone else who either seeks safety or show the diaspora of the global south compassion. #immigration
