A sticker to place anywhere. Like hand dryers, toilet bowls, soap dispensers, alarm keypads, coffee machines, thermostats, pedestrian crossing buttons, BBQs, park benches, parking meters... As well as staplers, pens, potatoes, bricks, brooms, lunch, potplants and speed humps.
A piece of colourful corporate nonsense looking sticker stating NOW AI POWERED! Talk to me. Ask me to do things! with a happy little speech bubble computer-looking character, with shiny little AI stars and a space looking background in the middle. To be placed on things that look like maybe they could be AI powered, BUT ARE NOT.

I put this on SFF but since I posted this I am noticing it all over in all kinds of genres. Evil arch-capitalists and conservatives who operate in completely race-blind, gender-blind, queer positive hierarchies. It's bananas to me, particularly in the current moment.

My greatest joy is when #Hookland manifests in the creative work of others. You all own it if you need and want it. It is a pre-enchanted playground to be used. I could never imagine nor produce the county as industrial synthwave artefact, but here it gloriously is as just that.

And now a thread on the many terrible AI calendars I encountered in the pictures from one (1 ) Etsy listing. 1. The planet of the 12 day month, which probably suffers from a lot of tidal trouble what with the moon zipping about like that. 1, 2, 3, 4, Other 4, 5, 15, 6, 10, 31, nu, 20.

I was going to make a self-deprecating joke about 'bad at being a girl', however I realised that I am/was so good at being a girl that it ate through the decades of cultural and cis/het normative programming like xenomorph juice through a handy spaceship. Which, fuuuck.

The images shows a woman with short red hair wearing a vest, combat trousers and boots. She carried a machine gun. Around her are images of various playing cards showing items that she might use to fight with.

It is very clear just from the graph, and the spikes on the graph, that the anti-trans panic is literally just the Epstein class throwing chaff whenever they feel threatened. Like you can literally see the Johnny Depp trial, in the spikes of transphobic garbage.

I don't think people have, as yet, fully grasped the likely societal impact of the fact that generations of women, LGBTQ+ folk and others have suffered, and have simmered with anger, and now, thanks to the Epstein files, we don't just have the abstract concept of patriarchy to blame - we have names.

as with pretty much everything else labour are doing their position on trans rights is *such* a mistake and a complete misreading of the public landscape. 'gender critical' does not really exist outside of our columnist class. there is no widespread public support for 'gender critical'.

Before Thatcherism ruined the benefits system, Britain produced some of the greatest bands of all time thanks partly to many making music in their spare time - while "unemployed." Could a Universal Basic Income also create unexpected culture for society?

the biggest lie the british press tell about trans ppl isn't actually about trans ppl. it's their claim that 'gender critical' is a grass roots movement. it's a ruling class bigotry sparked and spurred on by the american religious right. it's a media and political class bigotry.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

For years, S*n 'journalists' covered up the sexual abuse by a famous cis man while telling everybody to hate trans women in order to protect women. This isn't even the first time this has happened. How so many cis people don't see what's happening is revealing.
