“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

Just seen someone posting (elsewhere) about 'developing teacher agency' while making their teachers use a set of specific steps in class based on a very narrow view of learning. The term 'checking for understanding' has become a proxy for compliance imho.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

What happens if you have legitimate concerns about someone else’s legitimate concerns? You’d probably need to have some sort of system to represent that this stuff is complicated. Maybe a debating chamber and votes. Perhaps different voices and views could be represented there.

Came out to the new Cowgirls restaurant in Redruth having really liked their food at the buttermarket… AI menus. So disappointing when a place does this, they’re so much better than this and Cornwall is full of artists and graphic designers - there’s even a uni that specialises in it!

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

I want people to be taken care of and left alone. I want people to not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, that they may lose the roof other their head, or if they can receive medical care when they need it, and so long as they’re not hurting anyone, left alone to live.

re: Piddlington. I actually also think it’s the wrong location for an asylum centre, it’s the middle of nowhere on a deadly road and no safe way to walk to Bicester, let alone get to oxford, an asylum centre should be right in town with access to resources like drs and dentists and help centres.

This nurse withheld oxygen from a dying patient to save herself paperwork. This is why disabled people are angry. This is why we scream about eugenics and that our lives aren’t valued. Even in our final days or hours, those meant to care for us don’t care at all.

My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine

So much of AI psychosis from people who work in the AI space is a general solipsism; that they believe that how their brain works makes them special and unique, whilst fundamentally misunderstanding that others have interiority. As a result how an LLM works is indistinguishable from a human for them

Was just watching “I’m Still Here”, a film about a family suffering under the Brazilian dictatorship, and one thing not discussed enough about the rise of fascism is: for a lot of people, it’s the perfect chance to unleash hate as a recreational activity. For them, it’s fun.

My student told me he ran his paper through an AI checker to see if it would get flagged even though he wrote it, and it offered to “humanize” his paper by changing the sentence, “Illicit cocaine use is responsible for many potential adverse cardiovascular events” to “Cocaine is a bad, bad drug”

Disabled people are not “less than”. Our worth is not contingent on whether we’re able to work. Disability is not a moral failing, it’s the only minority group you can join at any time. Most people will end up disabled, yet they judge us and assume they will be the exception. Very few are.

The sun and heat cut my onions off early so now I have only tiny onions. They’re going in a fridge pickle cos it’s either that or I can put them on, what, a seventh of a hot dog?
Seven onions, three white, four red. They are like onions for mice… if mice ate onions. Do mice eat onions? Well, look, if they did these would probably be the right size to make a good chilli from one of them. The kind you’d freeze left overs from and feel proud of yourself for batch cooking until you realise that it’s suddenly three years later and you haven’t checked the freezer and oh god it’s like the meals of Christmas past in here. 

That kind of size.

For the record, the proportion of professors at Cambridge who are Black is 0.4%. The number of Black people in the UK population is 4%. So the number of Black professors at Cambridge is ONE TENTH of what you would expect in a meritocracy.
