Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.
You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext*

what do you do when your desired outcome (banning gender-affirming care) goes against the medical consensus? easy: simply exclude 97% of the relevant medical studies from your review...
When you think about it, you can't really own bones.
every day i wake up and say "surely the NYT cannot stray any further from the light of God" and they apparently hear my incredulous statement as a challenge to print the dumbest fucking shit imaginable in a paper of record.

Moveon dot org petition to send brian kilmeade and the hosts of Fox & Friends through the strait of Hormuz on a tanker in order to show some guts.
Thank you, @wired.com, for acknowledging that, as a category of thing to report on. "AI" is not actually tech, nor is it culture, nor can it really be said to be a business, nor does it have any capacity to reach anything we might call "beyond."
So like... Did Ethan Phillips have "no pictures of my unadorned human face" written into his contract, or...

If nothing else, AI psychosis makes me feel a lot more justified in my belief in tarot. That's archetypes motherfucker, that's states of being that persist across time and cultures
I'd rather light some candles and pour over cards than talk to an autocorrect machine pretending to be a President
You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

Men think they were meant to live in the Roman Empire until they’re getting conscripted into open-ended territorial wars by pedophiles
So uh, any idea what would happen if a trans person from a different state got pulled over while driving through Kansas rn? Like sure, legally a driver's license issued in a different state is valid in all states, but following the law is increasingly optional for gov't actors so....
Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
This, by the way, is why we don't let billionaires, venture capitalists, and libertarians define freedom or do "utilitarianism"
When you think about it, the 3 million horses alive in 1960 were a lot more free that the 26.5 million horses alive in 1915.
A horse born in 1915, reaching the end of their life expectancy in 1940 in a world with half as many horses probably thought "this makes me twice as free as I used to be!"
Genuine question for pro-AI people: what DO you want to do with your life? Because it sounds like you don't actually want to do anything that requires effort, ever, and I think you need to consider that you are clinically depressed.
This morning, someone on NPR was asking a Republican strategist and former speechwriter how the SOTU might affect the midterm elections, and I don't know that I've ever heard anyone ask a question more fundamentally untethered from reality.
Gotcha. I'm mostly familiar with micaceous clay ceramic pots, which are rad for their own reasons.
Additional follow up: is there a benefit to mica pots for this purpose other than how they're glittery and sparkly and pretty?
Witch here: those people aren't witches, they're debauched nobility satisfying their obscene whims upon the children of the commoners.
This isn't a witch hunt, it's a peasant revolt.
I have follow up questions, like "oooh what kind of mica pots?"

Everything we do to protect communities, we do for free, as willing volunteers. That goes for the vast majority of those who resist ICE.
Everything ICE agents do to terrorize communities, they do for money, and that money comes out of our pockets.
The longer they go without paychecks, the better.
