It is easy to forget that cooperation and kindness built all forms of community and states run through domination are only a recent aberration. And that this latest emphasis on tech alone is more recent still

"we're so sorry! our Black Friday promotion was so successful this year that our demand has spiked and all of our interns have killed themselves from the stress! kill a few more with the discount code VIOLENCE"

wow, and you're telling me this only costs 500 billion dollars? every year? what a steal

All aboard the Kafka Subway!

I’ve had dreams like this. Sculptor Michel de Broin took doors from MR-63 métro cars and turned them into this interactive installation at Arsenal Contemporary gallery in #Montréal.

Très Inception!

guy who helped turn off the flow of capital to young people: looks like the flow of capital is fucked for the young?

fucking good

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Some mornings I wake up thinking this timeline can’t get any weirder, but I am always immediately proved wrong

fucking dumb as fuck

right [now] now all I [wish] want is a [wafer] way to [try] turn [on] off [automobile] autocomplete in [Microsoft] Microsoft [Outlook] Outlook

if only he wasn't such a loser

"meet the people saying NO to opiate addiction in their small towns (sponsored by Purdue Pharma)"

among academic granting bodies to move to a "narrative" CV which takes away all of the strengths of the CV to move towards brain-sapping bullshit platitudes that only an administrator could love, precisely at the moment we are flooded with such writing by AI. Chef's kiss, 10/10, no notes, admins

Just to clarify that last sentence was what I didn't think you were talking about

can you fill me in? what's this about?

No, I'm saying you cannot be racist against computers because computers do not have a race. You can be mean to people who are making a choice to use AI but that's not the same thing. If you used a real racial slur against a computer that's something else but is that what we are talking about?

okay but you're dehumanizing a group of people who are acting in a way that threatens other people (privileging slop) which is actually totally fine as a behaviour to discourage doing that and has nothing to do with race or racism at all

if this is about "clanker" I won't hear it

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

I can't believe I have to think about that guy again. He deserves to have a little ice cream thrown his way

no

yeah I'm sure lol, considering the "autism" and "vaccine" link is junk science and the original study has been discredited

also many more people who take vaccines and trust in modern medicine who also don't have autism?

Mark Zuckerberg presenting his Pervert Glasses for perverts

I'm not sure about this branding but I'm not the billionaire business genius

what a moron

what if instead of becoming incels online wayward young men became obsessed with Kierkegaard and started believing they were the biblical and extreme Jesus Christ. where is the billionaire super-fund supporting that???

I looked again at this list—not only are there absolutely NO consequences listed for many of the professors noted as being "cancelled," they are often people who have said justifiably heinous things. I'm supposed to care that a white prof was censured for "race realism"? give me a break

literally got into a back and forth with an author who remembered lots of firings in academia due to "micro aggressions" and when I was like "no, that did not happen" they continuously told me to Google it, as if I would find hundreds of articles about profs axed bc they mispronounced names

why is it that one of the worst feelings in the world is remembering a mid band you liked from the early 2000s and then discovering that they have put out fifteen more albums between now and then

why would I waste time on a resource that seems to think boycotting a zionist is not a legitimate political action?
