As long as NYT is asking โ€œDid women ruin the workplaceโ€ can they also ask:
โ€ขDid men ruin safe workplaces?
โ€ขDid men ruin domestic safety?
โ€ขDid men ruin public safety?
โ€ขDid men ruin global peace?
Or is a clear โ€œYESโ€ to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to acceptโ€”so NYT avoids it?๐Ÿค”

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner thatโ€™s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

40 years ago weโ€™d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot thatโ€™s all like โ€œbet you wonโ€™t commit suicide chickenshit bitchโ€ & the government is like hereโ€™s $5 billion

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Paneraโ€™s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAIโ€™s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Have to say.. very tired of this now. We all know Brexit is a shitshow. Nothing is better. No one is happier.
No one who really cared about our country or understood how anything actually worked would do this and then stand around scratching their heads at the mess.

๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธThe women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

If gave you โ‚ฌ1 every second since you were born:

You would have โ‚ฌ1 million within a week and a half.

You would have โ‚ฌ1 billion by 32.

You would never have โ‚ฌ1 trillion. Generations upon generations after you would not reach โ‚ฌ1 trillion. Because it would take over 31,700 years to reach โ‚ฌ1 trillion.

The only way this would be more accurate is if you removed the words "like Rockstar"!

Alsoโ€ฆ if you are a man in employment in the private sector in the UK/US the biggest act of feminism you can do is tell your colleagues your salary.

If you havenโ€™t seen much news about Palestine lately, itโ€™s not because the killing stopped.

Israel has reduced coverage of the genocide, killing ~250 Palestinian journalists since Oct 7th.

Since the ceasefire, Israel has rejected 107 requests to bring aid into Gaza
and continued attacks.

Do they believe gendered nouns in Spanish are biological too? Does my chair have a biological noun that renders it female while my car is biologically male? What the fuck are we doing here.

They're literally erasing the entire concept of gender in service of harming trans people.

Shamblinโ€™s conversation partner wasnโ€™t a classmate or friend โ€“ it was ChatGPT, the worldโ€™s most popular AI chatbot.

A CNN review of nearly 70 pages of chats between Shamblin and the AI tool in the hours before his July 25 suicide, as well as excerpts from thousands more pages in the months leading up to that night, found that the chatbot repeatedly encouraged the young man as he discussed ending his life โ€“ right up to his last moments.

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.
