Garpur Dagsson - he/him

They really do hate coffee, and there have also been some health studies recently that it has no negative side effects and that it might prevent alzheimers. So they can go suck eggs. I can't remember where anyone stands on eggs these days.

"An adult human with psychologically-congruent female-sexed phenotypes, next question."

"Would you call me a woman?"

"Negative, Madam Representative; I'm not entirely convinced you're an adult."

I make exceptions for people who have genuinely and fully acknowledged what they got wrong, and who seem to have learned from their mistakes. E.g.:

To follow up.

I'm heading for 60 (man, that number looks weird, because I don't feel as old as 60 looked when I was a kid).

If I'd had kids ~40 years ago, they'd be in the range of having kids now (my "baby" sisters... 20 years my junior, have kids, ~20 years old)

Measles is alien to them.

literally your customer base was 90% parents of young children who want a good future for their kids in which they can be free to be themselves, no matter who they are. you told those people to go fuck themselves. they won't be back

It’s an ICE staging center that told its queer and Black customers to go fuck themselves.

A DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. ICE has bought access to similar tools. @evystadium.bsky.social reports.

BLUMENTHAL: Wouldn't you agree no citizen working lawfully should be arrested?

NOEM: There are times when they may be arrested or detained until identity is confirmed

B: Would you agree citizens should not be arrested?

N: When there's probable cause ...

B: They said, 'Get him. He's Mexican'

This spells out what we've always known about institutional and community contempt for trans people in death, and elaborates on how that is intensified by anti-Blackness and transmisogyny.

Transmisogynoir means Black trans women's deaths are dismissed, lied about, and not investigated.

If Trump’s war in Iran drags on due to poor planning, the biggest winner won't be in the Middle East.

It will be the Kremlin.

High oil prices from a messy conflict directly pad Putin's war chest and fund the invasion of Ukraine

Newsflash. ICE never left Minnesota.

I'm always saying this but if someone posts a screenshot of texts and doesn't mention or link to the source, please pause to ask yourself "where is this coming from" rather than assume you're looking at credible news reporting

there's not really a point to this, i just wish non-tech people knew: every part of the web has become worse because of GenAI. Millions of SEO-optimized sites packed with cognitive asbestos. Companies taking down our services scraping every word they can find. Hardware is too expensive to buy...

the best we've found so far is middleware that detects sus connections and, instead of redirecting to the app, feeds them garbage. but it still burns CPU, and, when the answers come faster, more bots show up to feed on the garbage. It's not sustainable, the small web cannot keep up much longer.

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you:

you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

I'd go further back to when we let a classroom full of kindergarteners be killed and we did nothing about gun control.

Here’s Marco Rubio telling the world that America First is, in reality, Israel First

“Oh you think no candidate should go on a podcast where the host has flirted with racist conspiracy theories???”

Like… yes?? I’m sorry, this is a high bar?

I agree this is a problem but if Dems can't (or won't) tie this to Trump and the entire GOP like a giant millstone then they should retire. Say it loud: "Trump's war, the Republican war, Hegseth's war."

"Forget the myths the media has created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand"

hold up does this mean there is now precedent for saying that "agentic" development systems, at the very least, and potentially other more hands-on genAI development systems, leave companies vulnerable to their products no longer being protected under copyright?

lol

lmao!

Petition: bring Thames Water into public ownership Thames Water is in crisis AGAIN. The government must intervene NOW to protect the public and the environment. Sign the petition to take Thames into public ownership.

Channel 4's docudrama 'Dirty Business' has exposed the scandal that is privatised water.

Right now, politicians and water companies will be extremely worried about water privatisation being exposed exactly for what it is: 1/3

Adams also says he’s worried about where the current court is taking Arkansas law, pointing for instance to a pending case in which he fears justices may weaken protections against pretextual arrests by law enforcement.

Conservatives Play Musical Chairs to “Cement” Majority on Arkansas High Court - Bolts How seat-switching, plus a new state law, is helping gubernatorial appointees reap the benefits of incumbency before they’ve earned it from voters.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointed 2 supreme court justices to "cement" court's conservative majority.

Arkansas' constitution banned them from seeking a full term for their own seat. They decided to circumvent that by... running for each other.

This Tuesday, one of them faces challenger John Adams:

You think him going on an antisemite's show in January - as in two months ago - and talking about how he's a long time fan of the host - is evidence that he's changed?

You can't be serious.

I know many of you already know this because it’s obvious but you can absolutely take a survey of an opinion desk’s output over time and pretty accurately surmise the views—or at least the intentions—of the people who are in charge of deciding what gets published. I thought we were all adults here
