Well done Labour Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you. Anyone who didn’t, still won’t. People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience. You’ve managed to turn off everyone. Quite the achievement!

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

UK politics: I keep thinking of the Honor Harrington books when the corrupt Solarian government keeps ignoring people begging them to take shit seriously, because they absolutely cannot escape the mindset that it's all a game that they can bribe, manipulate and propagandise their way to victory.

Because now we get chronic conditions instead of DYING OUTRIGHT. This is actually fantastic! It means we get eczema and arthritis at 65 because we didn’t die in childbirth at 25!

Every authoritarian leader needs some sort of a national security emergency. If there isn’t one, which is most of the time, they invent one. State of emergency, state of exception, martial law, or “under invasion” are used to systematically crackdown on civil rights/liberties, & the rule of law.

the best heuristic to decide if an AI use-case or theory makes any sense is to just substitute "machine learning" "I trained machine learning to do text classification" -- wow, yes, awesome "I asked machine learning for advice on my divorce" -- weird, dumb, why

A gentle reminder that Copic markers are not lightfast, my friends! Copic and all alcohol dye based markers are a medium meant for production work; storyboards, sketches, approvals, ideas, and things that will be reproduced - like prints! It is not meant for final, original gallery style art.

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

Good commentary on the recent "AI"-related troubles of this year's Worldcon. It remains a general rule that you should not trust Large Language Models to produce accurate information. They're not designed to produce accurate information. They're designed to produce statistically probable sentences.
