"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

This is Lance. He may have overreacted a little bit to a leaf, but when you are two inches from the ground, anything could be a potential threat. 12/10 (TT: katiemhartline)
This is Westie. He met a boy at the park today bravely trying to get over his fear of dogs, and Westie was just the pup for the job. 14/10 for all (TT: rahlor)

So picture the scene.
You’ve got Spain, right. A normal country. Tapas. Siestas. People arguing about football and drinking wine in the sun. And suddenly they wake up one morning and…

Hostia, acabo de leer una cosa en el otro lado que me ha encantado. Se supone que es la opinión de un australiano que le ha llegado a la autora del tuit. La voy a copiar entera, porque es larguísima, así que siento la brasa. Al final pego enlace al tuit.
Empieza el hilo 🧵.
Just read this article on the US & Israeli strikes on a school in Minab, Iran.
- At least 168 killed, including many girls aged 7-12.
- The school was bombed THREE times, not once.
- There were claims this was on an IRGC military base, but the base was closed 15 years ago.
This is a war crime.

Como? Que un violador no entiende un "no" y responde con amenazas? Increíble.
There won't be any reporting on this in the US btw because the US / UK backs the monarchy in Bahrain and therefore their people don't need liberating and should not liberate themselves.
Only countries the US does not currently control, like Iran, deserve regime change that everyone cheers for.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
The real question now is not necessarily who will succeed him, but rather how they will approach the US. Whether through the hardline approach, or a more pragmatic approach.
A greater takeaway: It's insane that the US can just kill or kidnap world leaders with zero consequences as everyone shrugs
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
I hate that the debate we are constantly having in the 21st century is "we have to let the most evil fuckers alive do whatever the hell they want VS no we don't"
Americans need to understand that only they view Israel this way. Everyone else views it as the US. We all know Israel doesn't do anything significant without the US okay-ing it first. Israel's actions against Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran are done for the US's benefit as much as theirs
The Palestinian exception is so fucking glaring and gross. It pervades everything.
We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
“Evil starts when you treat other people as things. There are perhaps worse crimes, but they begin when you treat other people as things.” - Terry Pratchett
We invented the Internet to work remotely. Then developed all the tools we might need. Then had a world historical event prove that remote work was effective and necessary.

Hearing people casually say “ask ChatGPT” with their whole chest and salespeople genuinely try to sell me products by reading what ChatGPT says about that product makes me want to run away and become a reclusive witch in a bog.
Why are we outsourcing our cognitive function???
