This lol.

Me getting melon seeds at the Turkish supermarket: man Waitrose has barely an useful spices or herbs

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

hope you and your family are safe!

I can’t emphasise leading w/ empathy for civilians *everywhere* on a day like today enough.

The first casualty here in the UAE, where I live, is an Asian civilian at a residential building.

Many Ukrainians, Palestinians, Iraqis, Syrians, Sudanese & other war-traumatised people live here.

Beware, I guess?

All of the smug liars who fomented the US atrocities in Iraq are still snug in their sinecures, so the mongers of our latest war of aggression against Iran are hardly bothering to pretend they believe their own justifications. Nothing learned, same blithe evil over and over.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

(Sorry I just assumed banker’s spouse is female but the same logic applies)

And of course the thing not obvious is that working class classmate will have to pay 3x the college fees of the richer classmate!!

Apparently yes.

Not just this. Banker’s wife, who may be a relatively low earner, will probably qualify after banker’s kid.

It’s too early in the morning and I misread this as something else entirely 😭

From “A computer can never be held accountable therefore it must not make a management decision” to “A computer can make life-or-death decisions”

where are people’s BRAINS

“But our systems are not like that” —

It is a NON DETERMINISTIC SYSTEM! OF COURSE it can be “like that” !!!!

Meanwhile in crimes against ecosystems and Indigenous communities

“Absurdly, to make up for felling an estimated 1 million trees on the island, the government has approved compensatory afforestation faraway on the mainland, in Haryana.”

Yes! Exactly this.

The only explanation is that he or his advisers genuinely think we can’t read English

I think he doesn’t realize that immigrants know English 😭

I’m just curious as to what is “family voting”? Isn’t that already covered by ballot secrecy rules?

I am just happy for a fellow woman in STEM

*personally I think trades are STEM!

A leaflet from a packet of “Red Chilli Papads”

Red hot chilli papads.

I made the horrible mistake of seeing what this was about and wanted to scrub my eyes. Ew. Ewww. Extremely creepy

Eve: Should I eat this fruit even though God told us not to

Serpent: It isn't just a fruit — it's a future. You're determining your own path. You've got this!

Eve: God's really mad, I shouldn't have eaten it

Serpent: You're right! That one's on me. I'm only an AI model and can make mistakes,

Videos that present text on screen without a voice over reading out that text are not accessible!

I am currently watching a video for an accessibility campaign and it is in this format, which I guess is one regularly produced by video content producers for Instagram 🤦🏻‍♀️

“Here’s a train ticket from Norway and right next to it here’s a 10th century statue of Kali, the destroying goddess”

Always have an unexplained displaced feeling when I see Hindu/Buddhist/Jain statues displayed rather higgledy-piggledy next to random unrelated objects in British museums

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

It’s also ironic because “need to translate the Bible into multiple languages” was literally how a bunch of people in the West got interested in Asian, African and American languages for the first time!
