matsushima
Matsushima (松島) is a group of islands in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.  [...]
A well-known haiku describes the islands as so striking that the poet is at a loss for words:

    松島やああ松島や松島や Matsushima ya / aa Matsushima ya / Matsushima ya
       Matsushima ah! / A-ah, Matsushima, ah! / Matsushima, ah!

Let's actually talk about the "AI destroying the world" thing. One specific apocalypse scenario is the "paperclip maximizer" problem. The scenario goes that a super intelligence is tasked with maximizing the number of paperclips produced by a company. Because of a thing called "instrumental […]

The "Terminator" scenario is just the military industrial complex trying to maximize their profits. The "AI apocalypse" is just capitalism with extra steps. Capitalism is already doing it. Capitalism is already the AI apocalypse, and it isn't theoretical. It's been documented for 200 years.

One of the things that's cool about these early #Etruscan abecedaria (here's another one) is that they use both Ϻ (from North #Semitic 𐤑 ṣ) and Σ (from 𐤔 š). As far as I know, #Greek abecedaria pick one or the other and put it in between Ρ and Τ regardless of which one it is.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
