It’s very good of Prince William to distance himself from his horrific uncle Andrew, while on a visit to hang out with journalist-murdering bastard Mohammed bin Salman. I

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.

APPARENTLY it costs the
NHS over Β£300,000 a year
to remove foreign objects from
people's rectums. Why aren't we
removing British objects instead?
Was Brexit all for nothing?

So many people in the world see others on the streets as something being done to them personally for having had to notice it.

Reposted with alt text for people with screen readers - this is a welcome departure from how certain large organizations are handling revelations that high-profile members associated with and accepted money from Epstein and his organization, _AFTER 2008_ when he was convicted for soliciting a minor.

Are those measures really "extreme?" Isn't it just smart thinking to mask during the height of winter virus season if you have plans you really care about and want to keep illness from ruining them?

Health Advice From A.I. Chatbots Is Frequently Wrong, Study Shows

Remember last week how Dr. Oz called AI the best solution for rural healthcare shortages?

Well, a new study finds that when patients turn to chatbots for health advice, they end up taking the wrong steps and getting the wrong diagnosis more than half the time.

Pretty cool that calling yourself a "gentleman" is now just a way of saying "I'm a huge piece of shit"

Like if Sabrina Carpenter laundered lies to get us into a war resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of human beings I honestly think she’d at least regret it.

And yet all the stupid obviously fake AI plant listings and AI crochet/knitting patterns I've reported on Etsy the last few years I have never once seen actually get taken down. Cool cool cool.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

Etsy Witches Say Spell Casting Is No Longer Welcome on the Platform For years, you could hire someone on Etsy to curse an evil ex, protect your home, or manifest better luck. Well, until now.

Etsy just kicked witches off their platform.

What could possibly go wrong.

No. Stop.

"I won't support additional funding for ICE" is a complete sentence. Stop there.

Actually, continue to "I will work to abolish ICE and prosecute its agents."

The problem isn't training. The murderers have been with DHS for years. The entire agency is rotten to the core, to the root.

I feel like part of being a surgeon and why they get the big bucks is being the one who makes the decisions, not a jumped up spellcheck.
