Actual Cancel Culture of a significant cultural figure [unlike where far right extremists engage in hate speech & are held accountable]. It’s extremism like this, & the disinterest of the current UK Labour govt in stopping the shift to the far right, that’s deeply worrying.

A lot of things make me feel kind of dumb, including how to take at face value the logic of “we are a multibillion dollar transnational industry building a vengeful elder god, and we definitely won’t stop unless you regulate us the way we want, which is a secret.”

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

"there certainly is a crisis of violence against women in this country, but point out that more than 90% of perpetrators of rape and sexual assault in the UK are known to their victims; anyone serious about preventing this violence would not start with the spectre of recently arrived refugees."

Democracy means a society and system in which everyone’s rights matter. Rapists count on this being untrue – and Trump is proving them right

Rape is a crime against democracy in the most immediate sense of equality between individuals and the premise that we’re all endowed with certain inalienable rights. Most rapists operate on the premise that they can not only overpower the victim physically, but can do so socially and legally. They count on a system that discounts the voices of victims and only too often cooperates in silencing them, through shame, intimidation, threats, discrediting, the obscene legal instrument known as a nondisclosure agreement and a system too often run by men for men at the expense of women and children. That is to say, rapists count on getting away with it because of a system that hands them power and steals it from their victims. They count on a silencing system. On profound inequality.

Which is what makes rape such a peculiar crime: it is the ritual enactment of the perpetrator’s power and the victim’s powerlessness, buttressed by the circumstances that puts and keeps each of them in those roles. It’s driven by the desire to use sexuality to cause physical and psychic injury, to dominate, to celebrate the rapist’s power and the victim’s powerlessness, to treat another human being as a person without rights, including the right to set boundaries, to say no and to speak up afterward. A society that perpetuates and protects this desire and arrangement is rape culture, and it’s been our culture throughout most of its existence.

Tämän valossa näyttää siltä, että poliisissa on haluja venyttää tiedonkeruuvaltuuksien käyttö mahdollisimman pitkälle sen mukaan, mitä laki vain sallii. Hyvä pitää mielessä, kun näitä valtuuksia halutaan nyt laajentaa mm. erittäin merkittävästi perustuslain muutoksella. www.hs.fi/tutkiva/art-...

One key difference seems to be color of the Navy uniform (white in NYC, dark navy in LA). And according to the trailer, On the Town is "Twice as gay as Anchors Aweigh", which makes sense because it has three sailors instead of two.

"our enemies believe in us even when we don't believe in ourselves" @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social
Two striking things about the new surge of far-right ideology and activity inadvertently confirm that the changes over the past several decades have been immense and impactful. One is how these brutal politics are a backlash against the vision of interconnection. The other is in how the right sees the many elements—environmentalism, feminism, queer rights, equality, racial justice, and inclusion, even kindness—as related, as part of the same cosmology (or in their terms, agenda)—all part of the new world struggling to be born and sharing some ideological essentials. The dying old world is furious at all of it and lurches into monstrosity in reaction to it. I've often thought our enemies believe in us even when we don't believe in ourselves, and this is confirmation that they believe we've changed the world in consequential ways, and with a coherent vision.
