realised half way through the wine talking last night that the reason i find discussion about genAI with dudes quite uncomfortable is because the topic bumps right up against rape culture in my head

Watching a let's play of Still Wakes the Deep where they're using the "please translate all the hard words into English (International)" subtitles option, and it's got me strongly believing non-scots players should just suck it up and learn what a jobbie is through context

Thinking of/with antiwar activist A. J. Muste:

Once a reporter asked him, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" A.J. Muste replied softly: "Oh I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me.

Fair play to her for very clearly and plainly explaining that the fascist thug currently seeking any event to exploit to increase his public profile is inseparable from this debate, and that her neighbours are welcoming him in.

Fair play to the wife of a Caribbean man and mother of mixed race children being informed by the BBC reporter that she’s in the minority in her community regarding immigration and responding with, “Yes, I’m surrounded by bigots.”

one reason I don’t like to apply the term Software Engineer to myself (or ppl i like) is because of the frequently embarrassing cultural/political/professional tendencies it links to/emerged from

absolutely lost my shit in the middle of a teams call because while something was discussed i wondered what the early images of Lilith were and i'm sorry but look LOOK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith#...

Incantation bowl with an Aramaic inscription around a demon, from Nippur, Mesopotamia, 6–7th century

It's a bowl with scrawled Aramaic script around the inside and a little image of Lilith right in the middle holding what looks like a tree branch almost like a wand, and her hair is short and blocky, and she looks like a 5yo drew her, she's brilliant, a rectangular nose and big round eyes with dots for pupils that make her look wild. she's also smiling. the most Mona Lisa smile you've ever seen until the actual Mona Lisa. this thing is so great. mother of demons, y'all. actually just read that it cold be the male form of Lilith. either way it's delightful
