There is no child out there identitying as a hologram, the only way they could put that in a newspaper is to get an attention-seeking dickhead to say it.
And even she couldn't bring herself to pretend to have direct experience of dealing with the child.

...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?
Say what you will about Sisyphus, he had a real grind mindset. Dude was locked in. Absolutely bouldermaxxing.
Carter: Colonel!
O'Neill (p90 pointed offscreen): come on, Daniel, what does it say?
Daniel Jackson: well if Im reading this right, they worshipped a being named "Miette", who had the power to imprison you for... one thousand years...
Teal'c: I believe it would be most unwise to awaken this "Miette"

We live in Rip Off Britain.
We have to lower people's bills and tax wealth fairly.
This morning I'll be starting to lay out our vision of how to do this.

A photo of a hand holding up a subversive Crosstitch kit with the theme “what a fucked up time to be alive “ designed to resemble old-fashioned Crosstitch samplers with some cute animals and decorative lines.
We just did another restock on popular styles of our subversive Cross-stitch kits, and added their book and some new styles!
Find them at hartfordyarnworks.com under “other goodies”

Apparently they labelled me "AI Hater" as well 🤣 what a privilege!

ok but can I just......
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.
thank you so much! omg that sounds amazing! i hope you'll post your results here <3
What's combo spinning?
Now I am convinced this lady has never spun yarn in her life.
Elad Simchayoff on twitter: I interviewed two Israeli Air Force pilots who are part of the operation in Iran. When I asked what it felt like to enter Iranian airspace for the first time, one of them said: “You find yourself thinking, what do these people, so far away from us, actually want from us? They have a huge and beautiful country. Right now full of snow and lakes. Truly a very, very beautiful place. What do they want from us, this small piece of land? It’s such a strange feeling.”
A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.
British politics, more than any other, has an unrivalled streak of paternalism where marginalized people are easily dehumanized as spoilt children who must be sternly punished and managed and whipped into shape.
Our advocacy is simply seen as as tantrums.
Israel’s military orders residents of four southern Lebanese towns to flee ‘immediately’ Israel’s military has issued another forced displacement order for parts of southern Lebanon, this one directed at four villages in the Nabatieh governorate. In a statement on X, Israel’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee urged residents of Arnoun, Yohmor, Al-Sharqiyah and Zawtar al-Gharbiyah to “immediately evacuate” their homes and head to the north of Nabatieh.
We should probably have a long and frank discussion about the concept of forcing evacuations in countries you're actively engaged in bombing and dropping white phosphorous on.
I mean, I talk a lot about how everyone is bending over backwards to make AI seem inevitable, but this is pretty intense.
Important thread providing more of the detail than I could be motivated to add.
The '10 studies' do not merit detailed analysis of everything they get wrong - & thread is just the tip of the iceberg in what they get wrong, but a useful starting point nevertheless.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.
This video is lowballing it.
A reminder that humans in cars - notably omitted from this thanks to motonormativity - kill 1.2m people every year
