Making them sound like Alvin & The Chipmunks is known to decrease the rage effect.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

So, you know, fuck the government of Kansas. They are dead set on making sure everyone knows that they are trash.*

*No offense intended to actual trash, which doesnโ€™t have a choice in the matter.

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

I often find I canโ€™t listen to some podcasts that are highly edited. Like human speech without the pauses and breaths โ€” even if you canโ€™t hear the breathingโ€” becomes almost incomprehensible to me.

Itโ€™s interesting though. One of the keys for me and actually connecting to people via things like podcasts and Vlogs are all of those ticks, pauses, etc. When I get my podcast going one of the key parts is, weโ€™re not gonna edit the fucker. I wanna leave the human in there.

Looking down from an airplane on snow capped mountains, land, clouds, a stripe of sunset.

Yesterdayโ€™s view:

A continent.
No strife,
Just land being land
Mountains being mountains
Clouds being clouds
Sky being sky.

"Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men.

This isnโ€™t a guess. Itโ€™s the finding of a Harvard Business School meta-analysis examining eighteen studies, over 140,000 participants, across multiple countries."

i want to point out how the specificity of this declaration makes the reality of their endgame undeniable. thereโ€™s no space left to pretend that fascism is seeking anything less than the complete elimination of trans people in our society.

Just received the new, revised edition of @thorncoyle.bsky.social โ€™s Evolutionary Witchcraft, as well as the brand-new Stars of Power. I read EW during my hiatus from magic in the early 2000โ€™s, and look forward to diving back in.
