This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

A nine-point lead for the far-right in the German national polls. It’s totally normal now to see full-blown Nazis, as I did today, in the centre of Berlin. Each time I talk to a nonwhite immigrant, whether friend or stranger, I ask them “what is your plan B?” I don’t care how “crazy” I sound.

Daughter and I went to two Tempo games this wkend. On Friday, a woman with a Protect the Dolls sign on the jumbotron. Yesterday, a woman with a trans flag T-shirt. Both were loudly and unanimously cheered and applauded by the crowd. This whole thing is a manufactured crisis by self-interested pricks

A succinct verdict on the persecution of the poor young academic who just died by suicide. Plagiarism is common. Persecution of the kind he endured is uncommon, aka selectively applied. The reason why he was targeted seems as clear as it is ugly.

Really concerning news about Qatar 2022 whistleblower Abdullah Ibhais, who was abducted by the Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate (GID) today. This message was sent by his family. Abdullah was meant to testify on allegations of forced labour at the 2022 WC at a US hearing on 20 August.

"Abdullah Abdullah Ibhais was abducted by the General Intelligence Directorate (GID) in Amman few minutes ago.

Abdullah is supposed to have a voluntary disposition in the United States on the 20th of August 2026, where he is scheduled to testify as a witness. This deposition is part of a pending U.S. District Court case concerning allegations of forced labor and human trafficking associated with the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Abdullah has just got his visa yesterday, the 6th of August 2026, from the U.S Embassy in Amman.

Abdullah was threatened with prison before by the (CID) officers, if he insisted to continue his advocacy concerning his case, or concerning the issue of workers conditions in Qatar.

His house was searched and he was almost arrested on the 21st of May 2026, before the arrest force received a phone call and left his house.

Abdullah’s passport was confiscated for two months between the 10th of May and the 1st of July 2026, in order to ban him from taking place in the same disposition that was supposed to take place virtually in the U.S Embassy in Norway, on the 30th of May 2026. Abdullah was then supposed to participate in Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF), organized by Human Rights Foundation (HRF) on the 1st and 2nd of June 2026.

When Abdullah previously confronted his interrogators in the (CID) that they are acting upon a Qatari request; they never denied or challenged him on this."

Treating trans people like content fodder is fucked up, but I’ll say one thing: actual WNBA fans are, in my experience, the most inclusive, diverse, progressive fans there are. Players too, I think. They’ll keep pushing back against this shit. Cunningham’s incel “fans” don’t even watch the game.

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.
