My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Marc Owen Jones@marcowenjones.bsky.social · 12h agoHere is a clear example of how corporate capitalist forces (and their media) try to undermine science & create their own counterfactuals (and enemies) - in this case using useful idiots. A clear example of false consciousness - where publics must be deceived to protect corporate capital accumulation
What would I do if AI tools suddenly vanished?

Weird bit of deja vu happening RN as I sit in the (metaphorical) place for my child my father did 35 odd years ago for me. That break the cycle stuff is trickier than it looks.

So: Fuck Max Miller and reminder that abusers are everywhere and demanding accountability is the absolute moral baseline.
Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg@theradr.bsky.social · 3d agoAnother day, another reminder that about 15% of US women & 4%of men have been injured via intimate partner violence (IPV) & 30% - 60% of IPV perps also abuse children in the household. Accountability for perps + safety for those harmed. Always.
New Atheism quickly went off the rails but there's a genuine grievance there in that a lot of social life in flyover USA centers around religious institutions and for the secular types this can be incredibly alienating even if they're friendly and that's before we get into how a lot of them aren't

This is the problem with populism: you cannot build a republic on a foundation of conspiracies. Corruption and special interests are real challenges, but reducing politics to “us” against “them” infantilizes the electorate and sows the seeds of authoritarian rule.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
Adored Katherine Kurtz's digressions on mediaeval costumes in her Deryni series. Predictably, an SCA fan in RL.
David J Prokopetz@prokopetz.bsky.social · last wk.To write in the classic high fantasy mould, you need not be hung up on food specifically, but there must be SOME very mundane thing you're sincerely interested in and prepared to describe in excruciating detail every time it comes up. Clothing. Furniture. Architecture. It doesn't work without it.
I mean, capital always adapts in the medium term.

The idea that there's a deeper, older and more "true" reality which "naturally" overrides the social is deeply toxic.
Damon Young@damonyoung.com.au · 3d agoI'm so tired of "social construct" being used to mean "false beliefs", either for or against. Things that are socially constructed -- e.g. money -- are palpable and often extraordinarily powerful. The denial of the social is a curse.
Personally am against Darrell Lea because the family adopted my uncle as a plaything for their biological children and medicated him to keep him docile and obedient.* * This actually happened, to be clear.

"Today we are banning under-16s from access to glasses, putting control of vision back in the hands of parents."
Greg Jericho@grogsgamut.bsky.social · 3d agoThere is zero reason for the Govt not to ban pervert glasses except for cases where they have been prescribed for medical reasons (ie assistance for those with vision impairment).
