A lot of scaremongering about AI extinction makes me think of the panic around nuclear testing igniting the atmosphere. No, the most over-the-top outcome is absurdly unlikely, but that doesn't mean the product can't and won't cause extraordinary amounts of human suffering for more prosaic reasons.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There are four overlapping scandals here: 1. Fundraising spam tactics are hallmarks of elder financial exploitation 2. The Dem establishment is in on it 3. Most of what is raised goes to fundraising consultants 4. Capitulation to legal threats by NYT and The Bulwark on a fully vetted story 🧵👇

Why do you keep calling Elon Musk “a sad little bitch with no friends”?

Great question! (1) He is sad, (2) he is a bitch, and (3) he has no friends.

Did Elon Musk spend his 47th birthday alone, with no friends?

Yes.

Did Elon Musk beg Jeffrey Epstein for an invitation to his island, but get rejected?

Yes.

You’re saying that even the world’s most infamous pedophile didn’t want to be Elon Musk’s friend?

Yes.

I don't use AI in my personal or professional writing, and will never, so some dipshit saying that actually everyone uses it is untrue in the same way that saying that nobody washes their hands after using the bathroom is untrue -- a lie to excuse a repulsive personal failing.

Above that is the logo of the union: a red hand with fingers fogether over a green field, with the initials ITGWU over it and O. B. U. below. Underneath the name is a quote in Irish: "Sí cúis an lucht oibre cúis na néireann sí cúis na néireann cúis an lucht oibre ní féidir iad a dhealú"; the same quote is translated to English below: "the cause of labour is the cause of Ireland / the cause of Ireland is the cause of labour / they cannot be dissevered".

Hey thank goodness if there are any ladies out there in need of a CPAP solution there's a mask that's not blue so it doesn't offend your sensibilities and is sized for your universally tiny faces.
Text from AirFit's (a CPAP manufacturer) website advertising a CPAP mask "for Her". Text reads: "Airfit N20 for Her is the same mask as an AirFit N20 except it has lavender accents rather than the standard blue, and is only available in size Small."

Late medieval urine wheel, c.1500. Before stethoscopes and x-rays, a pot of piss was an important diagnostic tool. The wheel usually consisted of 20 different colours ranging from "white as well-water" to "black as very dark horn." The colour was associated with various ailments.
