While waiting for 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR, check out CHAIN REACTIONS on Shudder for @horrornonna.com's insightful analysis of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (the strongest segment in the doc imo)
If you're dealing with a suspected narcissist in your life, especially if you're hurt and confused by their behaviour, this is an excellent primer from one of the best in the field. It can also be comfortably listened to at X1.25 speed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bLO...
Thanks for saying so. That’s really kind.
Also, if global businesses don't get on board with this new reality their companies will go extinct.
So, essentially, we're planning on spending the treasure of planet Earth to wire every single company and person with their own deadman switch and we're never allowed to sleep ever again.
Cool. /
... we will need very talented and passionate artists and craftspeople to help us rise above a gravity-fed AI-perpetuated race to the middle - but also they'll somehow need to come into being in a world that tells them the only hope they have of surviving is to become a meat-based algorithm. 3/
... while exponentially multiplying the power and reach of surveillance and oppression - all for no discernible difference in profit or innovation whatsoever.

What I'm hearing is: we'll fast-track global water shortages, price-restrict the availability of technology to the wealthy and radically inflate the everyday cost of living for everyone on the planet... 1/

image shows person talking through a skeleton in a wall from a patent drawing to a person in another room. text including poster names says: mygoodbabushka in 1930, helene adelaide shelby patented an apparatus for obtaining criminal confessions. the police put the suspect into a darkened chamber where they are confronted by a human skeleton with glowing red eyes that questions them with a voice transmitted from the interrogator behind it, through a megaphone in its mouth. a camera concealed in the skull was to record the confessions slimy what jkrockin confess your sins to the crime skeleton source: juliekschuler 142,810 notes.
remember when you're posting in public (also applies to direct messages this is NOT a secure channel any more than using incognito browser) you're also talking to the crime skeleton, there is literally always a cop in the room, with modern data collection it doesn't help if only 5 users saw the joke
Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.
Starting the new year on the right foot.
No, I don't.
i'm in this, i saw the rough cut (still need to find a moment for the final cut, lol) and it's fucking great and you need it
hammers home how "AI" as we know it is built on foundations of race science and colonialism, in multiple directions
anyway, see if if you possibly can
I really appreciate that. I was one of the writers, on it from day one, and wrote the parallel timeline novel ‘Zero State’. I’m so glad it resonates in that way for you. I can’t speak for anyone else but that was certainly my intent.
To me the strangest and saddest thing about these MAGA types talking about Valhalla is that Odin hung on the world tree to win, for the people, the runes - language, organised thought. And the same MAGA types are doing their utmost to take that gift away.
(Also, @dieworkwear.bsky.social is a great follow.)
Pretty sure there's a Nine Inch Nails lyric that addresses this moment perfectly.
like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering.
if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.
Also I’m wildly proud of you, Germany trip is cancelled and I’d love to talk to you soon.
I’m sorry it costs what now?
Please do something, Canada. This is an outrageous incident and I really hope you're not going to let it slide. I'm sorry my country is full of violent garbage people.
They‘ll keep making UBI studies until they happen upon the one combo of people who all „fail“ to make something out of their lives, and then they’ll stop and parade that one study around until eternity.
Hulk Hogan exemplified the idea that, with focus and discipline and belief, a person really can become a nauseating piece of ambulatory human garbage.
With the right casting the actor is always the final characterization’s missing third.
Brendan’s on BlueSky btw. bsky.app/profile/bpka...
On paper the dialog looks a lot like nonsense, but with the right actor and background it totally works.
