“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”
My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.
🤣🤣 You'll have to leave me coded messages 🤣
I can't even see them! The UK has forbidden us from accessing them....
On it, ta. It'll come from my work email, so don't be alarmed :)
@miseryvulture.bsky.social I can't DM on here, because UK... can I drop you an email?
A reminder, at least, that "my exterminationist policies are protected speech, but your custard pies/milkshakes are AN ACT OF VIOLENCE THAT MUST BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW" is a tale as old as time
When "neutrality" discursively favours the aggressor (pt. 97)
"I have nothing but admiration for her passion & the strength of her conviction. While she held views some may find challenging - her desire that we be criminalised and die painfully, for example - no-one among us could deny the value of her contribution to the citrus industry.
A titan of a woman"
It's Lesbian Visibility Week 🏳️🌈👩❤️👩
So...
Go ahead: perceive me, textually!
(I'm happy to say, there are dykes as far as the eye can see in every book I've written: horror dykes; con artist dykes; Dykes To Watch Out For, Lest They Turn Into Werefoxes...
You can't go wrong)

It's Lesbian Visibility Week - time to get yourself some lesbian horror/crime action ⬇️
With things in their current state, I would genuinely choose to remove LLMs from the pool of possible technology forever if it meant killing the technofascist oligarchy.
I know there are legitimate and beneficial uses for them, but the baby isn't feeling worth the bathwater on this one.
Thank you! Hope you like it, evil empire or none :)
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Ironically in this instance: I do. Almost every year, Lesbian Visibility Week passes without my realising it's happening
This year, however, I plan to be so visible I will be perceived from space

I have not! But will take a look now...
(Wait: is it Lesbian Visibility Week again? Why am I never aware of these things? I've been Lesbian and Visible for 30 years, damnit!)
TalkTalking Heads!
Just realised this second that I have, for decades now, mentally conflated Talk Talk with Talking Heads - the realisation providing an explanation for what I had previously assumed were just some VERY unexpected pop-punk cover versions
*and yes, I know that's neither strictly him nor strictly Spivak's translation, but this is the internet, and I split the difference. Do not come for me
There is nothing outside-text, and I'm sorry if some of you kids just aren't ready to hear that
New university free speech complaints system to come into force this year S hours ago Branwen Jeffreys > Education Editor A new freedom of speech complaints system for England's universities will come into force for the next academic year, the government has said.
The freedoms of racists and transphobes must be defended at all costs in Starmer's Britain
If cruelty, hate speech and the academic browbeating of vulnerable communities cannot run free across the corridors and lecture halls of our universities - well, what is education even FOR?
This is excellent advice that I recommend everyone follows
So many! And *every. single. week*!
Great stuff, thank you. I'm about to start writing for audio for the first time ever, and the realisation of *just how many words* you need to fill 28 minutes has me breaking out in a cold sweat. So I needed to read this today :)
What's this?
An incredible zombie epic from smalltown horror master @brennanlafaro.bsky.social - AND you get a free copy of Saltblood thrown in?
BARGAIN.

Discworld too. Mainlining Granny Weatherwax will make you into a good person.
And a lot of the people using it purport to be familiar with exactly this research! It's maddening
I'd honestly have more respect for them if they just outright said, "I'm done thinking now"
*without any of the necessary interrogation of (social, cultural, medical) constructions of "intelligence," obviously
I feel like it's exposed a really clear divide among people I know, especially at work, effectively sorting them into: people who want to seem intelligent* without actually learning anything, & people for whom learning is the end in itself
Makes sense the former would be easy prey for sophistry
