Did we cancel D-Day because of a little rough weather? No. Play the damn game.

People who become right wing because they get annoyed by leftists are weak willed, most leftists are annoyed by leftists every single day.

The story is more complicated than we tend to paint it: Mosley provoked street battles with the left (including the Battle of Cable Street) as a conscious recruiting strategy *and it worked*. Having said that, I am glad that he was hit in the face with a brick.

I also find it fucking hilarious that the AI stans are like "your kids will be left behind if they don't use it" as if it's harder to type a prompt into a text box to ask someone else to do your work than it is to read and understand a book or learn mathematics on your own. Foh.

I would be EXTREMELY annoyed to discover my PR is "AI"-generated, and as someone bombarded with dozens of "AI"-generated emails daily, I assure you the stink of "AI" is immediately noticable and immediately dismissible. Publishers are not doing their new books any favors in using it.

Far too many people simply hate children for existing
Neighbor blasts an ultrasonic device audible and painful only to children whenever they pass on the public sidewalk.

Was riding bikes with my daughter and a friend to school this morning. We passed a house and they both started yelling, "Ow! It hurts my ears." Really strange, right? Then I hear a voice play through a speaker who says, "If it hurts your ears, ride your bikes somewhere else!"

Now I'm angry. Literally doing nothing but riding bikes to school, probably one of the most wholesome activities a person could imagine, and...I can't even get my brain around it. 

It's apparently not loud, but it is tuned to a frequency higher than I can hear. If it's low enough for my children to hear it, it's going to be almost useless as an animal deterrent. It is specifically designed to cause pain to humans and serves no other purpose.

How is this legal?

Many people - politicians, doctors, parents - see the neurodiversity movement & feel the threat it poses to their worldview. If some minds are different, if some of us are fucked by the school system as it stands - totally shamed & brutalised by its inadequacy - that requires radical change.
