One major reason that Microsoft was using a definition of intelligence borrowed from white supremacist Linda Gottfredson a couple of years back in their AI documentation is that scientific racists are pretty much the only ones out there pretending that intelligence is well defined and understood

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

Let’s say it again for the people in the back. If your publishing company “needs” to dip into author royalties to stay afloat then you do not have a functioning business and you need to go out of business and pay off your debts in the process. You aren’t a special case. You are just a thief

With alt text for anyone who needs it:
A purple chart by the Sexual Violence Center of Cork (whose logo of a few steps leading up to a door is is in the upper right hand corner of the image, titled: "How to avoid sexual assault! :A Quick And Easy Guide*." The asterisk goes to the bottom left, where it says "*for perpetrators."

There are six numbered lighter purple boxes, stacked in 2 rows and 3 columns. The text in the boxes says the following:

1. DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S
DRINKS

2. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM!
IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING
SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT
ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

3. WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR
ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS
NOT RAPE THEM. 

4. WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE
HER ALONE.

5. IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND
SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

6. CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

Probably her echolocating insectovorous hat. For both cases.
Kingfisher & Wombat (@UrsulaV)
Bearing in mind that I am NOT a scientific illustrator...

Fig 1. Hoary tophat locates prey via echolocation from organs in hatband.

Fig 2. Hat ascends above the prey, while swinging brim forward into feeding position.  This is the most difficult part of the maneuver, as the hat can no longer see the prey and must rely on its last perceived location.

Fig 3. Hat slams shut, trapping prey inside.  As the brim is no longer providing lift, the hat will fall to the ground until the prey is digested, leaving the hat vulnerable to haberdashers.Animal Behaviour
Volume 48, Issue 5, November 1994, Pages 1013-1021

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...
Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."

This is the key point that I think a lot of people are (willfully or otherwise) missing. The issue is not that there was a messy fight over a bar in a random town most of us don't live in. The issue is how people, INCLUDING lots on the left, took it as the excuse they needed to be complete assholes.

true and at the same time we are living in an era where so much public discourse prefers puts stance taking, alignment, and appraisal over content. Your stance on an issue or a text takes precedence over what the issue or text actually is. “I didn’t watch the movie but here is my take”

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.
