as a serious journalist (Times, Slate, Bioligical Woman's Weekly, Der Sturmer) I am dismayed the left can't get their tiny heads around simple ideas like my paper printing weekly opinion pieces explaining "why war is necessary" =/= being for the war

gorton and denton by-election result: she gets 706 votes, 1.9% of the total
underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

one thing i find a bit grating about how people talk about AI chatbots is how they supposedly "isolate" us, and i don't think that makes sense. people turning to chatbots for company and comfort feeds into people's isolation for sure, but it's the isolation itself that makes them susceptible to em.
i see that post about managing your agents and think “the promise of ai is that we can all be small business owners”
One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
i had a dream once that i was trying to trick someone into thinking he was in The Thing
the reactions to this show—as usual—a narrowly focused AI panic distracts from questions about broader economic conditions. what she's saying is bleak but also straightforwardly true—& AI did not create the conditions under which writers compete to pump out identical books as quickly as possible !

I'm no expert, so by all means let me know if I'm off base here, Random YouTuber, but maybe you wouldn't need to be so grovellingly thankful to people for "making it to the end of the video" if you hadn't indulged in nine minutes of vacuous filler before getting to said video's ostensible topic.
It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition. Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.
Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.
"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."
Using a VPN to do something as simple as pirate a show that isn’t available in your region meanwhile richest man on the planet was just sending emails like “Hey man when’s the next trip to Pedo Island, let me know when things are the most Pedo, so I can come to Pedo Island.
And now, can you imagine anything funnier than the fact that there are people who have read Capital without discovering any materialism there!
On the 17th of January, 1961, the US, UK and Belgium assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's mineral reserves. Remember Lumumba!
i think if you make a video game and you feel the need to put in the Mysterious Ancient Temple That Is Completely Abstracted From The Social Role Of A Temple for no fucking reason you need to be smacked. it's a tired, dried up settler colonial trope and it serves no purpose but it's everywhere.
YOU - “So I should just... just... get a hat and FUCK it, right?!” (Point at your head, where the hat should be.) “Engage in sexual intercourse with a hat right here in front of you, because you told me so? On the SEA ICE?!”
Friendly reminder that the third-world diaspora person who's really expert at call-outs and talking about the marginalised (if they do talk about their marginalisation specifically it will both be framed as really severe and also somehow light on actual details)-

Man goes to a doctor. Doctor says go see the great clown Pagliacci. Man says, but Doctor, you went to medical school. I thought maybe you'd give me some medicine or something. What the fuck. See a clown? I am right now, Doctor!

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.
This is a fact.
No one will ever be able to refute it."

I think one of the worst parts about data surveillance is that ads now feel insulting sometimes
that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion
