It’s a good bit to pretend you are terrified for the wellbeing of Jewish Green Party members when you *ecstatically* cheered on Labour hounding, bullying and expelling all of its Jewish antizionists. Might as well turn your pockets inside out, unzip your fly, wiggle and shout “look, an elephant”

Now that I think about pond trolls, the pond trolls are amphibians. This means that they must be born from spawn like a frog. Maybe initially they are tadpoles and they gradually grow into trolls.

I really don't understand how social media apps don't get the concept of "don't EVER move my position in the time line". I close Bluesky, open up again a few hours later and it jumps all the way to the top. So I have to scroll back tens, maybe hundreds of posts to get back to where I was. Crazy.

It always strikes me as a bizarre that you can be locked up for secretly planning the murder of a right-wing politicians - but if you openly plan the social murder of thousands of disabled young people by denying them vital in-work benefits, you'll get a glowing write-up in the papers of record.

Counter terror police say the further charge comes after a "hugely intensive and complex investigation".

Test mini for Mezgike's Fleshbound range. My first attempt went horribly wrong. It turns out taking your time _does_ matter!
A 3d printed miniature, a custom Chaos Space Marine design from Mezgike.
The armor generally looks like a bone exoskeleton with red metal bolted onto it. The helmet has no eyes, and it's unclear if that's actually a helmet or if this is the creature's head.
Gems are set into the armor in a few places but they aren't painted very well so we don't need to talk about them. There are some painted-on cracks in the bone parts of the armor that I am reasonably pleased with.
The mini stands on an orangish-reddish Mars-esque base.

Campus sexual assault is not an “institutional problem” merely in the sense that assault takes place at an institution. It is an “institutional problem” in the sense that the institution fosters the conditions for the problem, punishes the victims, and colludes with the perpetrators to cover it up.

No it shouldn't be means tested because means testing is an additional administrative burden that hurts people at the margins. Old age pension should be sufficient all by itself, and people with high private pensions should be taxed on those.

More on this btw. Potential way to kick it from your servers. The ID is 1153984868804468756 Remember, never believe an AI bot's claims that they won't train your stuff without permission. They will. #Discord
Discord recently partnered with a Generative AI called DomoAI and apparently they’re in every server but sneakily don't show up in the member list.

However they still use the art/images sent in the server to train their AI.

To bypass this, people have found the AI’s ID so we can ban them. 
The AI has already been banned in this server, but for anyone here who has a server or is in another art/creative space, please use this advice and ban the following ID using the /ban command.

1153984868804468756

It may also be smart to start watermarking your pieces.

Terry Pratchett's antagonists were nearly all defined by their petty, human cruelties, products of class position or aggrieved temperament, which is why the rare occasions when he goes for something more like an ontological evil in the form of the Faerie Queen its so powerful and disturbing.
