It’s wild for Anthropic to try make this argument to people who definitionally believe in souls and that humans are made special by them. I have so many problems with catholic theology and their beliefs but they mostly do believe it

"Immigration needs to be dealt with" is the most xenophobic turn of phase I can imagine anyone using whilst trying to condemn racists.

With the first verse containing the lines ‘I don’t think I can see it as a good sign, If all of it repeats and rhymes’, strong suspicion the first line here is exactly the swing at British politics it sounds like. Also, banger track, suddenly very excited for the coming album

Sigh. Look, I was in consulting for almost 10 years before I went to product companies (and now am at the coolest place I've ever worked with the most awesome people -- ask me about GraphQL federation!) and the pressure to say what the client wants you to say intense

It seems clear from observation that the ‘rationalists’ have falling into the trap of concluding that they *are* rational and therefore that none of their conclusions are driven by emotion even when they absolutely are. The self-deceit is rampant (and very annoying for the rest of us)

The less wrong people incorrectly use technical terms from so many fields that they are fully confident they understand despite not having done the reading. This is how they keep reinventing old philosophical problems and coming up with dumber solutions to them 🤦‍♀️

I remember first experiencing undertones of it when I was in primary school (from an adult 🤦‍♀️) and then it lasted through high school and during my undergrad at uni. Never really stopped either, I got low levels of it in MMO communities right up until I transitioned 🤷‍♀️

Athiette @athiette.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Continue to be amused by the combo of ‘we aren’t excommunicated because we remain obedient to the pope so aren’t in schism’ and ‘here are all the ways that Vatican teaching since the 60s has been wrong’. I’m all for being disobedient to the pope (though not how they are 🤣), but you should own it

Whelp, not that I was expecting change but *fun* to have it confirmed that it would be uncomfortable to visit siblings in the uk for the foreseeable future due to offical transphobia 🤦‍♀️

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

Athiette @athiette.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

This does seem like an appropriate level of harsh for people who wanted to be ordained by the society about rejecting reforms from the council of ‘the church should be less evil’. Vatican II was when they reversed centuries of antisemitism and first recognised religious freedom

Very grateful that courts in Australia have rejected this position despite the pressure, but it is maddening to have multiple countries base rulings on the bald-faced lie that ‘biological sex’ means what they claim it does

Athiette @athiette.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Feels real bad to have the Supreme Court of another country issue a ruling affirming the ‘common sense biological position’ that doesn’t actually align with the science of biology and encourages discrimination by persuading people to see us incorrectly

Athiette @athiette.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Every time a British politician says ‘we should just implement the guidance and move on’ instead of ‘we will change the law to fix this issue’ you can tell they’ve made the choice to try make the issue go away by hurting trans people rather than correcting the bigots. Judge them accordingly

This feels similar to the way that dressing too well can make you lose credibility as a technical expert. Put too much effort in and a client can assume you’re just a sales person rather than a capable senior or lead tech

Struck at a data management event that some of the pitch for AI in data is very similar to the pitch for big data 10 Years ago, ‘realise the value of your data’, ‘find trends normal analytics won’t see’ except with ‘use ai’ as the call to action instead of ‘hire a data scientist’
