usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

you gotta wonder, haven't you, what did @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social have to talk about with Trump in that recent visit? Are we the price?

I’ve tried to be as fair to Mamdani as possible. I’ve reached out, as have other journalists, several times. They’ve stonewalled us. It would go a long way if they could just say if they’re willing to direct H+H to absorb the patients, which is what she was asked about and she refused to say yes.

what all the AI stans really want is slaves, and it would be terribly clarifying if they just said so.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Whenever there a violent attack by a man, and it's almost always a man, the media swoops in and asks locals "how do you feel about [x demographic]" to stoke the culture war narrative.

"X demographic" is never, ever, "men"

Yep Hadley Freeman reprinted this lie in her Guardian column, and refused to apologise for it.

The Graun printed the most graceless retraction possible, never retweeted it or apologised z

so i wonder what he had to trade when he visited trump recently?

so we know you admire Mamdani. It turns out, once he got in office, he dropped support for us at the very first hurdle. maybe that's what he went to meet Trump for. Any words? bsky.app/profile/erin...

ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people

"How can it not know what it is?" Idiot kid knew this resonated but didn't figure out why for about 15 years. except she did always know really, but was being an idiot.

Also it was kind of haunting me all my life. imaginary friend etc.

Didn't look up the meaning until after. Felt a bit sheepish.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

so, are they doomed whatever happens, but it's more painful without palliative care? or if rescued in time they could recover, either partially or totally? something that could be managed like kidney failure, diabetes, or they just need an antibiotic or something.

if it's curable it's not terminal. 😉 terminal if effective treatment exists but is being withheld. probably also counts out eg: radiation poisoning.

dysentry?

Gave a speech he hadn't read, sends letters he doesn't read, hires people he believes despite a history of lying. Keir Starmer's entire defence since he got in to power is 'I'm shit at everything, it's not my fault'

The harm risk is less than going to the NHS.
