Who? Weekly | Patreon Creating podcasts

After literal years of being a gigantic fan of @whoweekly.bsky.social I finally got off my virtual ass and subscribed to their Patreon and now I get ad-free commentary on the absurdity of celebrity life, plus excellent analysis of recent pop culture. Winning. www.patreon.com/cw/whoweekly

this is, honestly, such a no-brainer buy. Like every single one of these books is a banger at a total steal of a price, you support great causes, *and* @charliejane.bsky.social and @annaleen.bsky.social are complete delights as people so you get the bonus of supporting A+ folks too.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

There are just 45 minutes left!

Get in on this!!!!

Relatable

I was thinking that we need to do another run of the shiny "anti-fascist noodle" stickers when the paperback comes out in a few months!
