I'm guessing conservative politicians in the UK don't get the same deal conservative politicians in the US get, where bulk purchases of their shitty books inflate the sales numbers to be not so embarrassing?

Is there a cleverer way that Ukraine could have hit back at Trump doing a dirty oil deal with Putin to help him with gas prices in the midterms than turning off the army of Russian propagandists posing as heartland Americans with concerns about trans socialists?

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 3h agoIf you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, not fascism, was the greatest threats to American society.

cults aren't the only type of organization that uses vocabulary control — inventing a jargon specific to the cult to distinguish insiders and separate and alienate them from the outside world — as a method of controlling its members, but all cults do vocabulary control.

When I have conversations with these pro-AI people and push them about consciousness or intelligence it seems like they converge on consciousness/intelligence without perspective, intent, desire, or interiority. Wow! If you simply refefine your words you can claim anything!

‘Protect the Dolls’ is a term meaning ‘take care of trans ppl’. Its origin is due to the campaign of persecution & violence aimed at this vulnerable part of the Gay community. LGBTQ ppl nationally, & internationally, have been flagging that UK state TV is actively transphobic, for years. More proof!
