You're one of the clever people 😅 I saw you present over zoom about neurobiology and psychedelics. It was so interesting! I learned a lot, thank you! 😊

I think it's hear hear because it's saying "hear this person"

It's not the same arguments though. AI steals from real artists. Photography doesn't do that.

Right! If you're not in favour of DEI then you're in favour of homogeny, inequality and exclusion

Oh absolutely. And his radio silence is so telling. If I'd somehow accidentally made that gesture you can get I would say "oh god no! I didn't intend it like that! I somehow just lost control of my motor function in all my excitement but I condemn anyone who does that. I'm so sorry!"

There's so many parallels. Like a fake Christianity that wants to present Jesus as strong and nationalistic. I wouldn't be surprised if The American Christens rewrote the Bible to take out any "wokeness". This is probably her Fuhrer Principle moment. Just hopefully she won't end up martyred as well.

I think if we want to be supportive of POC in 2025, we shouldn't be using reading apps that discourage people from heavily reading books written by POC. Don't you?

Wanting your oppressors to stop oppressing you isn't anti-Semitic. Even if your oppressors are Jewish.

It's actually a fun read. Perfect for English weather this time of year

Do we think maybe Bella is neurodivergent and maybe that's why she doesn't fit in, and maybe why Edward can't read her thoughts?

So Bella was an ugly duckling in the big city, but in her small rainy town she's suddenly the hottest person ever... To the extent she has 5 boys after her?
