A far-right group picks out one thing they and their target can agree is bad (although for different reasons - they object to the "abortion" bit of "forced abortion" while the rest of us object to the "forced"), and demands that their target confirm that it's bad.

This is a usefully blatant example of a technique that's being used all the time now.

Our fringe event was on the subject of coerced abortion as we believe that no woman in Scotland should be coerced or pressured into having an abortion. The First Minister must now categorically state his views on this important issue: does he agree with SPUC that Scottish women should be legally protected from coerced abortion, if so why has he allowed a panel of expert women to be cancelled from his conference? Or is it the position of the SNP that women should not have specific coerced abortion legal protections?

“The children who are randomly selected not to receive the birth dose of the vaccine, those who “lost the lottery”, face in their earliest days the risk of contracting hepatitis B, which can cause irreversible lifelong damage.” No words. I am speechless. This violates all ethical boundaries.

Lis Sladen and Sadie Miller were lovely to me thirty two years ago. I was already annoyed with this slop but this is heartbreaking to see. AI with real people is creepy & upsetting, *don't do it*. Aninate real art with real soundtracks. Use impressionists. You can play. But this crosses the line.

I appreciate that PBS opted to depict an older wiser Martina instead of reusing a youthful image, but they could have glammed her up a bit with some feathers or something.

Yeah, "Propinquity" is great. Also "Wax Minute". But my favourite has to be this Monkees version of "Nine Times Blue", with harmonies that aren't on any of the studio versions.

Today's vinyl is John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy, Evenings at the Village Gate. Wonderful double-album of skronking extended versions of "My Favourite Things", "Greensleeves" and so on, right at the point where both men were moving further out than they'd ever been.

Think about what the meaning those words on the t-shirt mean. It is basically a declaration that trans female life should be protected. That’s all. And what does it say about the BBC as an institution that it takes issue with that?

*nods* yeah, it makes sense that Neanderthals would have a gene that makes you bad at direction. Look at this map of them taking a left turn and then not being able to find their way back to Africa.

I am by no means suggesting you do this, but many data centers rely on highly sensitive power and cooling equipment that is outside and very easy to hit with a rifle from many hundreds of yards away, and with a lot of rural anger at data centers growing, I am surprised we have not seen more of this.

YES. So many folks just keep parroting "People want to maximize their profits!" Ok... isn't the whole point of money to buy goods & services? At some point we should look at what goods & services people want. And if they see shortcuts to get those things that don't require money.

It was, if the spirit of Iain Banks will forgive me, the day the pope exploded. Well, to be strictly accurate, today is the 68th anniversary of the day a botched embalming saw Pius XII’s rotting torso break open while he was lying in state. (Yes, sorry. This thread is absolutely disgusting)

Papal Swiss guards in costumes – and especially helmets – that could have come from the 1980 Flash Gordon film, flanking the dead body of Pope Pius XII in a big, posh room in a palace in Rome
