I like this poster, but christ does it fucking bother me that, in the year 2026, leftists are still unable to call the systemic destruction of Ukrainian life, language, and culture as a genocide.

Men feel entitled to our bodies, lives, and futures and it makes me want to scream. Sure yes teach your boys about consent but I am sure that it isnt enough to undo this rot.

Ireland’s aid to Ukraine consists chiefly of a modest bit of financial help and support for EU sanctions. Yet on the latter count, there is a big caveat

You ever read a transcript of minor deportation hearing in the United States immigration system? The kids usually don't have lawyers. The judge is fucking asking a ten-year old if they understand immigration law. It's beyond ridiculous. It is state-directed abuse against fucking kids.

I want to make another point here, that I think Faine does an excellent job of highlighting: there isn't anything particularly wrong with putting on sex parties with consenting adults A big issue here is that women are being pressured to attend in order to network *professionally*

It's really that succinct. You can elaborate on it further, but none of them ever really believe their bullshit, and it's either they enjoy cruelty for the sake of it or extremists using transphobia as a wedge like all those fundamentalist Christian orgs, but they're always lying sacks of shit.

This may be a little awkward, but this is why I think the discussion around "AI doomerism" is kinda broken.. Imagine a political compass. On the X axis, put "AI works". On the Y axis, put "AI is an existential threat to humanity".
"AI doesn't work. AI is not an existential threat": Pure skepticism gets you here.

"AI works. AI is not an existential threat": The conventional tech press is here.

"AI works. AI is an existential threat": OpenAI and Anthropic are here, and everyone is reasonably making fun of them for it…

"AI does not work. AI is an existential threat": …but I think we should be paying attention to *this* corner, and the right-wing doomer narrative distracts from it. Maybe that's why the right-wing doomers are saying it!

The radio news is being led by some extremely odd shit said by yet another rich AI weirdo with a vested interest. Just reporting what each one of them says no matter how actually literally deranged it sounds. If some rando down the pub said this you'd edge away
The head of Microsoft AI has said that unless adequate restrictions are implemented in the development of artificial intelligence it could lead to the emergence of a new silicon species which would compete with humans

He described rival firm Anthropic's approach of treating AI like it is human as "misguided" as he warned against creating a technology humanity cannot control.
