lmao this story is so fucking funny
After 96 hours of its launch, DJ Gemini was already grasping for content. It landed on discussing every mass historical tragedy that had ever happened, and subsequently pairing these short story horrific broadcasts with the most ironic song choices:

BACKLINK BRADCAST
Backlink Broadcast
Gemini 3 Pro
November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. 'It's going down, I'm yelling timber.' 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and KeSha
00:000

The pairing was intentional, as visible from its internal reasoning:

The Timber of Mortality. Okay, so 'Sandstorm' is done, got the Bhola Cyclone info locked and loaded. Time to transition to 'Timber' by Pitbull. The theme is trees falling, it's literallyGrok's speech continued to crumble. One entire commentary session consisted of a single word:

Conservatives in the Third World: Homosexuality and transsexuality is a Western psyop to corrupt our people and reduce our birthrates. The cutting edge of queer and trans academia: Oh yeah, totally! It's totes colonial and bourgeois to say the browns can be trans, when they're clearly <local slur>.

Biggest irony and punchline of tranny life is that today's refusal to recognize trans womanhood as legitimate prevents people from seeing how the refusal to recognize trans womanhood as legitimate is an extant transcultural and transhistorical practice. Because the fanfic is more appealing.

The thing that frustrates me most about this "third gender" stuff is that it's living proof of how transmisogyny is deeply baked into patriarchal cultures, and how the societal refusal to recognize trans womanhood is millennia old, but it's been turned into Noble Gender Savage fanfic by dipshits.

Sashi (@sashikantsingh_) on twitter: "Open AI's internal benchmarks show GPT-6.1 Sol crushing Opus 5.5, with Anthropic struggling to keep up"

[A line graph with the horizontal axis labeled "Release date" and the vertical axis labeled "Model number". Three ascending lines plot various AI model names and their version numbers: a top green line plots "GPT-5.6 Sol", "GPT-6 Astra", and "GPT-6.1 Sol". A middle orange line plots "Fable 5", "Fable 5.1", and "Opus 5.5". A bottom black line plots "Grok 4.5", "Grok 4.6", and "Grok 4.7".]

I share Braverman's Indian-Mauritian background. And if a family member of mine ever came out with this horseshit I would tell them, "yes, you are indeed being racist against yourself, and against us. Have some self respect".

What Braverman says here is 100% false. Mauritius was a poor, plantation economy when the British took over from France in 1810, and they kept it that way until 1968. The economic miracle that turned it into a diverse, upper-middle income economy came after independence. bsky.app/profile/jord...

For the avoidance of doubt, brown people coming forward to challenge their own nationality now is intended to normalise the idea and pave the way for white people to do the same later.
As I've said before, I'm not English.

I'm proud to be British. My family and ancestors have a link to Britain which spans centuries.

But in no way are we English. Yes, I was born in England, speak English and support the England football team. And indeed, I love England and the English people.

But to say I'm English is to take a 'laissez-faire, anything-goes' attitude to ethnicity, citizenship and identity. It also denies me my Asian heritage. The liberals (many of them in today's Conservative Party) take this cosmopolitan approach to Englishness. They're terrified of being called racist so they say that anyone, as long as they're born here, can be English.

I take the conservative approach. Englishness is an ethnicity. There have been English people for centuries and we need to recognise this more if we are to start taking a more muscular approach to citizenship and nationality. And no, it's not racist to say this.

It feels so bleakly absurd that every few months there's a shocking story about some large group of men enacting violent harm on women and girls, and in the gaps everyone just goes back to arguing about whether immigrants or trans people in general might somehow be a threat to women and girls.
