I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
see you in 50 years for Hidden Figures 2 (this time they're trans) i guess
I think I'm coming to view LLMs as essentially being the Fae.
The Fae are usually seen as not having souls, and therefore not having consciousness in a way we can recognize;
they don't understand the difference between lies and truth, kindness and cruelty;

Hans Zimmer is possibly my favourite composer of all time. I think it's important that we sep-
Nah. No. Fuck 'im.
Trans rights are human rights.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
I have an Excel joke it's really good most people rate it Oct 10
Your mobile phone exists because of software I wrote in the 90s (seriously). That hardware exists because of another trans woman. The book on how to do microelectronics was written by a trans woman. Loads of the internet is kept running by trans women.

Govt: "Any reform ... must also ensure that AI developers can access high quality content. It is clear through the consultation and our subsequent engagement that there is no consensus on how these objectives should be achieved."
Authors: Pay for work.
AI: No.
Govt: There's no consensus 🥺

I have a p-hacking joke but I can't repeat it
I have an artificial intelligence joke and whether or not you're interested, I'm gonna tell you it
I have a comedy writer joke, but because there's one other comedy writer joke being made it can't go ahead, but would you like 5 identical Celebrity Going On Holiday jokes instead?
If you bought into the "won't someone PLEASE think of the children" narrative for even a second, you're an idiot and I fucking hate your guts. This was never about kids. Trans people have been saying that since the start. The goal is to slowly legislate trans people out of public life.
‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.

They never ask the question of the evidence of harms from withholding treatment. Despite the fact they found no evidence of harms from HRT. Wihtholding treatment from a population like this is not a neutral act, it is an intervention in and of itself. One that has no basis in medicine.
The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Send us your leaflets! We'd love to know what claims candidates are making while standing for public office. Are the parties' claims consistent across wards? Are they achievable? Do they even relate to the council for which they are standing?
We'll write it if you send us the leaflets. Email in bio.

Weirdly, I once dated someone with a similar name. I had to double-check that it wasn't this guy. It isn't, thankfully. Anyway, the post is a screenshot that says: Chris Bakke ® @ChrisJBakke I've started joining every Google Meet 30 seconds early. When you join early, everyone's virtual note takers join early too. I spend the first few seconds screaming about how I'm on the Titanic, we've just hit an iceberg, the end is near, and I need immediate assistance. I then do the rest of the meeting normally. When the meeting ends, everyone gets an emailed transcript where the Al summary is: "Chris hit an iceberg, is trapped on a sinking ship, and general Q2 pricing updates"

Got meself a wee project which took up my whole evening, I think people call this kind of thing a "timeline cleanse"?
how many very large and long term studies have there been on this now, that everyone who's "just concerned" is free to ignore? but their feelings are all that ever matters, over any number of lives
