I think AI as malware is a powerful way to describing it. May have uses in short term but carries the seeds of destruction with it.

She’s not being snubbed or refused service. The cafe is donating whatever she and other ON members spend to the greens. So presumably they are still happy to serve them

I got identical messages, with photos, from two different accounts less than two hours apart this morning. Haven’t felt the need to block before but did then

I don’t know what polling booth he was at in 2007, but I’ve never seen voters march into a polling booth so determined to inflict carnage than in that year. It was visceral

The Irkutsk Plague

What to make of the Irkutsk pneumonic plague incident so far

Random speculation. If it was weapons based research there’s no way we would be hearing about it

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Then why are you surprised that labs would be working with it?

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Or lots of random speculating and sensationalising. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down. “An average of seven human plague cases are reported each year in the United States” www.cdc.gov/plague/maps-...

cdc.gov

Maps and Statistics

Human plague still occurs in the western US, with most cases in northern New Mexico and Arizona.

Is the story changing, or are people randomly speculating?

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The plague is endemic in animal species in many parts of the world. There are sporadic cases in humans every year, and occasional outbreaks. It’s not like smallpox that was effectively eliminated. Research is vital

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

That’s just the number of people in the lab and her immediate circle. It doesn’t necessarily mean that many have been exposed. It’s precautionary. As it should be

70% were suicide. Only 31 were homicide

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

FFS. Basically what I said. The victim blamers are using her expectations as the reason for blaming her. She had a right to expect to be safe. YOU are implying that she should not have felt safe in a frat house and should have gone elsewhere. YOU are victim blaming. 🏏🏠

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The victim blamers are suggesting that frat house sex being non-consensual is the norm when they imply she should have known what would happen. Jane Doe had every right to expect a happy social/sexual experience when she went there to meet someone of her choosing and NOT BE RAPED.

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Your comprehension skills are apalling. You’ve just said exactly the same thing as I’ve been saying and presented it as an opposing opinion. I’m done. 🏏🏠

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Your comprehension skills are sadly lacking. I am agreeing that victim blaming is horrific. Jane Doe had every right to expect to go to the frat house and have consensual sex with the person of her choosing without being raped. Do you get it yet? #MeToo

100

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

No that’s not what I was implying. The idea that ‘she knew what she was going to get’ implies that rape is the expected outcome of going to a frat house to socialise. She was likely expecting joyful consensual sex which I hope happens frequently in frat houses

Does that imply that joyful, consensual sex between 2 (or3) people can never happen in a frat house? Because that’s how that excuse reads

Damned statistics. Fancy wanting to be more than 95% confident that something was going to kill you before screaming

Time for a history lesson from Professor Trevor Poutine, Trevor holds three university degrees, including an Honours BA, a Bachelor of Education (BEd), and a Master's Degree focusing on 1914–1945 Europe, with specializations in propaganda and the Holocaust. So I think he knows of what he speaks.

Norman Finkelstein is asked if he believes there is "very rampant anti-Semitism in the US" by an interviewer who claims he himself has experienced it. Here is his response:

Well, that’s a turnip. A USian lectures an Australian on irony. The fact that Americans might (hmmm, maybe) recognise Churchill, but can’t acknowledge their slackarse delay in joining the fight against fascism is ignorance, not irony.

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Still wrong. The original antifa was the German resistance, operating before the rest of the world even realised there was a threat. Appeasement was the policy in Britain, isolation in the USA.

None of it is ‘welfare’. Everyone is entitled to income support when they need it

Janet Cumming @polyquats.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

People conveniently ignore the costs of cash. Time spent counting and balancing, higher rate of errors, transporting, production, maintenance. We all pay for this even if we don’t use cash.

it's also a bunch of lies that they use to market the tech. AI isn't this kind of intelligent. if it breached somewhere it's because it was made to. it's not rogue or anything out of the plans. Seeing how much money they burn they need to keep stocking the engine aggressively

This would be a very stressful environment for dogs, like markets. Really sick of dog owners who think they can impose their mutt on the rest of us in places where we eat and socialise. Take your dog to the dog park, and leave it at home when going to environments likely to be stressful
