i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Niin kerta. Tekoäly ei sovi tiedonhakuun jos asiasta ei tiedä itse mitään.

Photo of a textless comic in a magazine. It depicts a small boy with a speechbuble made of scribbles over him as he struggles to explain himself. But upon visiting a library and reading some comics he is able to pour his thought scribbles into a comic. The final panel depicts the boy grown up, selling his comics at a convention.

I have a comic in the latest issue of Booklist's, a tribute to how much comics helped me as a dyslexic kid with lots of ideas but who struggled reading traditional books or articulating my thoughts. Comics told me there was another way!

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

Anti-Islamic US biker gang members run security at deadly Gaza aid sites BBC identifies members of Infidels MC gang hired as armed security at US and Israel-backed aid sites.

BBC on näemmä selvittänyt, että Gazassa israelilaisilla avustuspisteillä toimiva Trumpin humanitaarinen järjestö on pestannut turvamiehikseen rasistisia moottoripyöräjengiläisiä.

Kaverit saavat myös aika tuhtia liksaa. Käytännössä kyseessä on Trumpin oma Wagner, ja Netanjahu on Trumpin Assad.

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

Who's the worst cartoon character?

I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics.

It's gonna take a thread.

So regularly destroyed is trans stuff that it's an obscure fact that 2 words beginning with trans (transfeminate and transection) were in English dictionaries to describe someone who 'changed sex' from the mid 1600s until well into the 20th century.

OpenAI on jälleen kusessa, ja mielestäni aivan ansaitusti. Ruutukaappaukset sisältävät kaikenlaista inhaa sisältöä, jossa kielimalli mahdollistaa ja jopa kannustaa teini-ikäistä itsensä vahingoittamisessa. New York Times julkaisi aiheesta aiemmin tänään jutun, lahjalinkki löytyy samasta ketjusta.

Tiesitkö, että nuorten ryöstörikokset romahtivat Helsingissä?

Todennäköisesti et. Ja se on outoa ottaen huomioon, miten isoa meteliä ryöstöistä vähän aikaa sitten pidettiin.

Syy on selvä: media, poliisi ja osa poliitikoista hyötyvät enemmän pelottavista mielikuvista. Niillä saa rahaa ja valtaa.

Miettikääpä jos Posti rutiininomaisesti avaisi kaikki lähetykset, selvittäisi niiden sisällön, kirjaisi johonkin tietokantaan, ja vasta sen jälkeen toimittaisi eteenpäin.

Niin ollaan tekemässä digitaaliselle viestinnälle.

Ei ole koskaan itsellä ollut niin vaikeaa katselukokemusta kuin nähdä oma veli televisiossa kieltämässä palestiinalaisten oikeuden omaan valtioonsa.

Siellä ihmiset kuolevat nälkään ja hyväosainen jaarittelee, ettei heidän oikeutta edes omaan maahansa voi tunnistaa.

Suomalaisen innovointikyvyn ja poliittisen kunnianhimon huippu – lisää hoivataakkaa ja -köyhyyttä naisille Jos poliittisen kunnianhimon korkein muoto ja innovointikyvyn kirkkain kärki on se, että naiset jättävät työnsä hoivatakseen lastensa lisäksi myös vanhukset, niin voidaan todellakin jäädä odottelemaan sitä viimeistä, joka sammuttaa valot ”vahvasta ja välittävästä Suomesta”.
