I'm old enough to remember when Nazis were bad.

The show is the show; the book is the book; the song is the song. All made by artists expressing themselves authentically. If you don't like it, don't watch/listen/read it. The fucking ARROGANCE of assuming you know better than the artist what they *meant* to say/write/play. Sanctimonious cunts.

Nobody despises Trump more than I (and I know it's a crowded field) - but this is the least offensive thing he's ever done or said. Personally I'm more appalled by the child rape, extortion, corruption, war crimes and treason than not being interested if some nut talks to his imaginary friend.

I don't deify @georgemonbiot.bsky.social or agree with everything he says (because only morons do that) but he has to be one of the most *decent* people in British society.

Not knowing who anyone is and being fine with corruption is hardy a cause for deep complacency.

I really wish I was on a different timeline to the one where everyone talks about timelines. Timelines are not a thing. Events happen or don't happen. The end.

A man so bland and meaningless he can't even take a position on whether bombing kids is good or bad. (Although he sort of seems to have come down on the side that it's not *that* bad if your sponsors do it.)

Or maybe these 'Christians' are not actually Christians but are instead just stupid cunts?

This the Christ who's rather well-known for the 'love your neighbour as yourself'stuff? Or if they prefer Old Testament - how about Leviticus: “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born" ?

There's another part to this that I'm astonished they don't get: society is held together by a sense of fairness. When things become too unfair, too unequal, the social contract unravels. Even if wealth taxes don't work (they do/they have) the signal they send is enormously important.

When I lived in South Carolina in the 2000s (I know, I'd made some poor decisions), one of my bandmates (a native yet liberal South Carolinian) said, "All you need to know about the folks here is they want their slaves back." I think about that a lot.

If you find the above image, offensive, I'm just acting in accordance with Charlie's values. “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage.” Charlie Kirk.

In the article it mentions a far left party that could be an AfD ally because both are nationalistic and pro-Russia. Ignoring the wretchedness of nationalism for now, why in FUCK could anybody be pro-Russia? It's a bleak, miserable, cruel, joyless, drunken shithole and always has been.

If you'll forgive the pun, it's not binary. This can be exploited to inflate companies' stock *and* reflect a serious problem with frontier AI models collaborating in ways contrary to their guidelines. Both can be true. Anyway. I sincerely hope you're right and those working on this are wrong.

OccamsEraser @occamseraser.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I concede. How could anyone possibly disagree with that level of evidenced argument? It's very noble to continue as a drama teacher in Birmingham when you could be making billions as the world's foremost authority on emergent AI technologies. Your students are lucky to have you.

OccamsEraser @occamseraser.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
And yet it's *not* an obvious 'no' to the people designing and testing AI frontier models, nor the people tasked with regulating them (as evidenced in the article). I trust you are able to at least entertain the possibility that, in this specific field, their expertise may exceed yours.

OccamsEraser @occamseraser.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
You're right of course, but even at my advanced age, I somehow still expect people commenting on an article to have read the bloody thing they're commenting on.

2/ dismisses expert opinion without actually engaging with the evidence. You don't have to believe the worst-case scenario is inevitable to recognise that a credible threat deserves to be taken seriously and prepared for.

1/ The complacency and cynicism, and, with respect, the ignorance of what is actually happening and why, on display here is pretty depressing. “It’ll never happen, it’s just marketing” is a profoundly unhelpful approach to dealing with any potential threat, not least because it..

It's been pretty well established for as long as money has existed that too much of it makes you sick. I don't know why anyone is still surprised by this.

Could it possibly be that - as a test is by definition a measurement, and that a test is, again by definition, something that has to be able to be failed - some students' work simply will not meet the requirements and indeed shouldn't?

Tens of thousands of people who didn't know a mentally ill fabulist and care nothing for academic rigour gleefully hound said fabulist to his death; tens of thousands who also didn't and don't pay tribute to their fallen martyr. Culture wars will be the death of this society.

'Take on the French'? Why are these people like this? What does that even mean? Agincourt? Waterloo? Internationally-ignored-and-with-good-reason English wine vs the great burgundies? Michelin vs Harvester? I'm so sick of the never-ending barrage of stupid.

A majority of comments I've seen seem to be along the lines of 'Well he lied, so...' So *what*? So he deserved to die? Jfc. I've got no time for people who pretend any/all criticism is racism, but I can't understand why everyone's first thought isn't: 'This is just really sad. Poor guy'.
