Most people have the political awareness of a flea or other small insect. Almost everyone cares about other people and want what's best for them. Politics is disagreeing about what's best for people. It's often more difficult than you think to disentangle self-interest from altruism.

Ozempic owes the world a great debt after they've prolonged the life of Donald Trump in this way.

Liberals be like: "If only there was some annoying guy who told everyone that the right wing was racist, then they would stop supporting it."

He's really giving "JRPG final boss" vibes in this one.

i think it was deleuze or foucault who said that religious garments like the veil and hijab would each far outlive their respective religions as sexual fetishes and i don't think there's a better contemporary anecdote for this than the zoomers who take up the mantel of "trad life"

If I train an AI model on a single piece of media to produce an almost exact replica as output, have I effectively removed the copyright from that work? There is genuinely no coherent case for why AI companies shouldn't need to get permission to use copyrighted works in their training data.

I can't imagine looking at this and feeling anything other than nausea and despair. It's an ad for voluntarily surrendering your humanity in exchange for a low-intensity jerkoff machine.

As someone who is against capital punishment, I condemn both the recent attack on Israeli diplomats and also the actions described below. If you view the events differently, I suggest you reflect on why that is.

Destroying the most basic low-level ecosystem on the planet in the name of getting more minerals? What could go wrong? I suppose at least it might cut down on our use of African slaves. A better solution would be to stop putting out new iPhones every year.

I hate the farming lobby so much. You can't just call a random benefit UBI and doing so discredits the actual concept of UBI.

Incredible. This planning reform nonsense seems to simply be a smoke screen to avoid the reality that we need more social housing.

"The Government [must recognise] the actions of Israel in Gaza as genocidal acts. We must suspend all arms exports to Israel, and ground the surveillance flights being carried out by the RAF over Gaza" @carladenyer.bsky.social‬ writes in the @metro.co.uk‬ 📷: Mohammed Ibrahim

Bubbling under the surface of many a Canadian is a seething hatred that just cannot be matched. It's a miracle that they've tricked everyone into thinking they're the "nice" country.

*giving speech at a funeral* I know yall are pretty sad rn, but can we take a moment to talk about the real sadness affecting Amerca…

Average slop hater: I can't stand these AI articles!!!!😡!!1🤬!!! Distinguished shit eater: mmmm, sweetcorn. 😋

"Hot" people are so made up. They don't actually look that much better than everyone else and people are just gaslit into saying they do.

The AI art guys genuinely don't get that art communicates something to the viewer. They think it's just pretty pictures. I always assumed they got it but had some kind of principled position, but I don't think they do.

It occurs to me that man of he "trapped with crazy people in space" stories can probably trace their lineage to Moby Dick.
