in humanoid robot movies the dilemma is always "the robot is programmed to perform humanity's grimmest tasks, but cannot love or be loved and will never feel the joy of holding a baby in its arms" but tech bros are like "great news, I just coded BabyHoldr 4.1 so I don't have to hold my baby anymore"

While there are no data sources on Long COVID in prison, experts suspect rates of the disease may be higher there than in the general population. They face high reinfection risks and poor access to me...

Hey, folks, this quiz that's circulating? The guy who made it is Emil Kirkegaard, a pretty prominent "race-realist" aka white supremacist who's also virulently misogynist. I really recommend not giving it any of your attention.

Literally the ROOT of this extinction theory is Nick Bostrom, who, in his list of 20 or so or whatever potential "existential risks," he had dysgenic pressures, along with so-called super intelligence. This is public information, he wrote it in a "paper."

Bigotry among politicians *always* escalates if it's not stopped. They're elites steeped in a highly bigoted culture already. Giving them more power doesn't make them better. Transphobic rhetoric to supposedly win one election cycle inevitably becomes supporting transphobic laws to win the next...

Have we discussed what Ben Goertzel, the man who popularized the term Artificial General Intelligence (the thing all these doomsday cults need to build and also stop from becoming evil 🙄) said that when he builds his super brain there won't be the types of girls who accused Epstein of rape?
“According to my understanding, the girls you were involved with were old enough to know what they were doing, so society really has no ‘moral right’ to lock you up,” Goertzel wrote to Epstein. “This is a fucked-up society we live in. But past ones have really been no better — the fault is really w/ the human brain architecture, which is precisely what I’m aiming to supercede in my AGI work.”

just another banger from Frankie. This isn't a difference of opinion, cis folks. It's open discrimination and hate speech. Period, end of story.
These groups use the argument that being asked to leave because they hold “differing viewpoints” goes against the “inclusive values” that women’s sports leagues claim to promote. But that’s just using social justice language to hide behind what their “differing views” actually are: they want trans people to die.

No, that’s not hyperbole. They’re never going to come out and say that. But those shirts, with the XX-XY on them? Those are dog whistles. The branding tells us everything we need to know about their views. If we saw someone with a swastika on their shirt we would assume they hated Jews and it wouldn’t be a stretch to make that assumption. “Protect Girls Sports” and “XX-XY” say the same thing about trans people.

I’ll say it again: they want us to die.

Showing up to a sports game or a bar in those shirts isn’t about having a different view. Asking them to leave is done for the safety of the trans fans and customers—they shouldn’t have to share space with people wearing open bigotry on their chests.

Shut it down. Give it no room to breathe. Smother it. The WNBA is proof that once you let it in the door it will poison everything around it.

Reminder that whenever a mass disabling public health disaster happens, a certain group of psychs will show up to say “it’s all in their heads.” Don’t believe them. samuelkronen.substack.com/p/nightingal...
Sir Wessely has a shady history of blaming vague psychological causes for verifiably physical diseases. He attributed Gulf War Illness (GWI) to "anxiety about chemical weapons," despite evidence pointing to exposure to toxic substances like sarin nerve gas. He attributed health issues from water contamination in Camelford, England in 1988 to psychological forces. The UK government formally apologized in 2013 for the contamination, acknowledging aluminum sulphate's role. In 2023, Wessely suggested the Iranian schoolgirl poisonings were a case of "mass sociogenic illness," and attributed post-9/11 health problems to fear of the physical environment, despite evidence that individuals were exposed to harmful particles and debris — causing disorders like airway problems, digestive issues, and cancers.

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume
A young woman in a Garfield inspired outfit with a Garfield headdressThe young woman from the first photo is holding a lasagna that says “lasagna my love language”missinteenusa Tonight, Indiana is going Garfield!
My state costume celebrates one of Indiana's most iconic creations-Garfield, created by fellow Hoosier Jim Davis.
Born in Marion and raised in Fairmount, Davis turned an orange cat with a big personality into a character recognized and loved around the world.
But this costume represents more than a famous Hoosier.
The hand-painted comic panels on my skirt share messages inspired by my initiative, Captivating Confidence:
"Our differences are what make us beautiful."
"If we don't have love, we have nothing."
"Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates."
To me, true confidence is found in embracing what makes each of us different and recognizing that our greatest beauty comes from within. I am so excited to bring a little Hoosier humor, creativity and confidence to the Miss Teen USA stage tonight!
This one-of-a-kind costume was inspired by my vision and brought to life by Indianapolis-based costume designer, Jess West. @jesswestcostumes
