Tough times often signal that something isn’t working, whether it’s a strategy, a relationship, a career path, or an assumption about how the world operates. A positive mindset allows us to view these signals as valuable data rather than personal indictments.

Look, nuclear war is really bad, but so is paper straws and being respectful of others.

It's only since i started to listen to @impq.bsky.social that i started to understand what people think are good Iron Maiden songs. Let me tell you, Flash of the Blade is a grade A song that has few peers.

Sex test used in IOC’s new transgender ban more likely to exclude from Olympics intersex women who were assigned female at birth Genetic testing is now required to participate in women’s events in the Olympics. But the new policy oversimplifies biological sex and risks discrimination against some female athletes.

“Sex testing has switched from genitals to genes to testosterone levels, and now back to genes. While the stated goal for these policies was to uncover males pretending to be female, they have never found any. Instead, they identified and excluded intersex women.”

Sex testing in sport harms women.

We didn't just find his videos - we also found Farage's outtakes, which show when his money-making sideline is interrupted by a text message or phone call, requiring him to re-record the video, he appears quick to anger.

A gigantic billboard beside a road shows (at life-size) an enormous, grand building. Text beside it reads:
"Foundation For Astonishingly Extravagant Gestures" 
a sticker below adds
"Coming Soon"
Dwarfed by the billboard is a shabby little building with a sign reading
"Institute of Pragmatic Solutions"

Agnes was incredibly pleased with how lifelike she’d made the top half of the tree stump but decided she couldn’t be arsed with the bottom half as male genitalia are notoriously difficult to whittle.

One nice example of generative slop degrading quality is in auto captions for social media vids

Speech to text is getting MASSIVELY worse as it becomes more and more generative, and often it completely changes the meaning on insta, tiktok etc. That gets worse as companies squeeze compute and power
