Unsurprisingly for a Gen-X geezer, this is the Asha Bhosle song I’ve listened to the most, Cornershop notwithstanding.
Courtesan Umrao Jaan sings and dances for elite patrons while silently declaring her love for Nawab Sultan, creating an intense private dialogue within a very public performance.
Yeah, Zelensky's Zionism is smh OK, right?
I want to see him with the McDonalds McBeth

1/ NYT out with a huge piece on the decision to go to war. It's much as we thought: Bibi sold Trump a rosy scenario that he heard over the mild to moderate warnings that it was BS but the details are so...appalling/demoralizing.
Vance clearly a source:

Now would be a good time for someone to invoke the 25th amendment or draw up articles of impeachment.
The President of the USA declaring that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" is not something that arrives out of a vacuum. It is precipitated by the widespread international failure to hold USA, Israel, and their allies including the UK, accountable for their actions for many decades
What the actual
Destroying "a whole civilization" would fall under this heading.
i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you
The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh
Day jobs are starting to feel like indentured-servitude in the AI era.
I'm already doing 11-12hr workdays. haven't found a single hour for art in the last month or so.
I hope my blood pumping apparatus can keep on taking this state of constant fight or flight panic mode.
Anxeity is the default for millenials all around me now.
I can't believe Katherine Johnson used to do these sorts of calculations and simulations BY HAND. I'm flabbergasted.
Humanity going back to the moon, and almost no one gives a F, because we have FUBAR'ed the planet completely.
So much love for you and the team, Meg.
all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

Oh my god, one thousand people.
When people say “prevent Autism” …
I hear “prevent Autistic people (like me) from being born”.

Artists/creatives with day jobs, how do you get through the work day when all you want to do is write or paint or draw or craft?
Tell me your strategies! 🎨✏️💥

It's not a tool, tools are deterministic, not probabilistic. Tools will spit out the same output for a given input set. That's not LLMs.
It's like using a hammer which may or may not put a dent in your neighbor's wall, even though you struck it against yours.
Youtube dropped a gem on my feed, listening to new music after a long time.

Trans people deserve compassion, comradeship and now fierce advocacy.
Transphobia is a social illness; societally embarrassing, unscientific, antisocial, failing to improve human happiness.
Oppose it where you find it, either in yourself or others.
I am old enough to remember that people ignored and maligned women’s sports until suddenly caring about when they could integrate it with their transphobia.
The greater threat to women in sport are violent sexist cis men, who they tend to be silent on.
Also, is Atrophic Backroom Dysphoria covered by insurance?
Is she charging by the minute, hour or qntm days?
I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools already
Trans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults. For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selves
Somewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.
When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.
This is my trans agenda
So much for a classless society on the net, eh?
We still cowtow to inherent power-differentials.
Oh look, the blusky class structure is emerging.
Lowbies vs.... Bigbies?
